The Buffalo variable speed stick blender is a hand-held immersion blender designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens. With a 500mm shaft, it is long enough to reach into deep stockpots and large catering vessels, allowing operators to blend, purée and emulsify directly in the cooking pot without transferring hot liquids to a separate jug or bowl.

In a busy kitchen environment, the ability to blend up to 120 litres in a single vessel makes this a practical tool for high-volume soup, sauce and purée production. The variable speed control gives operators genuine flexibility during blending — useful when working through chunky batches that need progressive reduction before reaching a smooth finish, rather than a blender that runs at a fixed speed regardless of the task.

Key operational strengths include:

  • Variable speed control for precise blending results across different textures
  • 500mm shaft reaches deep into large stockpots and gastronorm containers
  • Ergonomic handle designed to reduce fatigue during extended use
  • Detachable shaft for straightforward cleaning and hygiene compliance
  • Compatible with a range of additional Buffalo shafts and accessories

One practical point worth noting: shaft compatibility changed in July 2022. Units purchased from that date onwards use the screw-fit shaft (AN826, AN827, AN828), while older models use the previous bayonet-fit shafts (AL144, AL145, AL146). If you are adding to an existing Buffalo blending setup, it is worth confirming which generation of motor unit you have before ordering spare or replacement shafts.

This blender is well suited to busy kitchens producing soups, bisques, sauces, coulis and similar preparations at volume — from pub kitchens and hotel operations through to contract catering sites. For very high-throughput environments running the blender for extended periods throughout service, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty model with a higher power rating would be a better fit for your workflow.

If you are unsure which shaft length or configuration best suits your pots and production volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 500mm shaft long enough for deep stockpots and large catering vessels?

The 500mm shaft is sufficient for most standard commercial stockpots and catering vessels used in high-volume soup and sauce production. If you are regularly working with very deep pots or large tilting bratt pans, it is worth measuring your typical vessel depth before ordering, as Buffalo also offer different shaft lengths within the same blender range.

How do I know which replacement shafts are compatible with my Buffalo stick blender?

Buffalo updated the shaft fitting in July 2022. Models purchased from that date use the screw-fit shafts (AN826, AN827, AN828), while units purchased before that date use the older bayonet-fit shafts (AL144, AL145, AL146). If you are unsure which version you have, check the purchase date or the shaft connection type on the motor unit before ordering accessories.

Is this blender suitable for continuous use throughout a busy service period?

The Buffalo stick blender is designed for commercial use and handles regular batch blending throughout a service period. For kitchens running the blender almost continuously across a long service — for example, in high-volume soup production or contract catering — it is worth having a conversation with us about whether the duty cycle suits your specific workload, as a heavier-duty model may be more appropriate in those circumstances.
