Planetary Mixer
85 products
A planetary mixer spins its beater, whip or dough hook on its own axis while the attachment also travels around a stationary bowl, so it reaches every part of the batch. That makes it the general-purpose mixer of a kitchen: batters, icings, whipped cream, mashed potatoes, meat mixtures and lighter doughs. Countertop models suit cafés, restaurants and small bakeries, while floor models serve bakeries, commissaries and institutional kitchens that mix large batches every day.

About commercial planetary mixers
Before you buy
- Check the manufacturer's capacity chart for your product and its absorption ratio rather than the bowl's quart rating, since stiff doughs can only use part of the rated bowl volume.
- Compare the speed options and whether the speed can be changed while the mixer is running, because some gear-driven designs must be stopped before shifting.
- Confirm which attachments come standard, usually a flat beater, wire whip and dough hook, and whether the attachment hub, where fitted, accepts a vegetable slicer or meat grinder head.
- Plan for a second bowl on floor models, so staff can scale the next batch while the first one mixes, and consider a bowl dolly for moving heavy loaded bowls.
- Confirm the electrical supply for floor models with your electrician, since the larger sizes are commonly built for 208 to 240 volt or three-phase service.
Common questions
What is the difference between a planetary mixer and a spiral mixer?
- A planetary mixer moves one attachment around a fixed bowl and can swap between a beater, whip and hook, so it handles many products. A spiral mixer turns the bowl while a spiral hook rotates in a fixed position. It only mixes dough, but it kneads bread and pizza dough with less heat build-up and handles wet doughs and large batches well.
Can a planetary mixer knead pizza dough?
- Yes, with the dough hook and within the manufacturer's rated dough capacity, which is lower than the bowl's full volume. Stiff, low-hydration dough is the hardest work a planetary mixer does, so run it at the low speed the manual specifies. Pizzerias mixing large batches every day often choose a spiral mixer for that job.
What size planetary mixer does a small bakery or restaurant need?
- Start from your largest regular batch and check it against the manufacturer's capacity chart for that product. Many cafés and restaurants work with countertop sizes, while bakeries and pizzerias mixing dough daily tend to move to floor models. When a batch sits near the top of one size's rating, the next size up gives the motor more margin.
