Santos 27 10 Litre Planetary Mixer

The Santos Model 27 is a 10 litre planetary mixer built for consistent, repeatable mixing tasks in a professional kitchen environment. It comes supplied with three standard attachments — a dough hook, flat beater and wire whisk — covering the main mixing applications from bread dough and pastry to batters, creams and meringues. Eight speed settings give operators precise control over texture and consistency across different ingredients and recipes.

In practice, a 10 litre bowl sits comfortably in the prep workflow of a small-to-medium kitchen. It handles regular daily batches without issue — morning dough runs in a small bakery, sauce reductions and dessert prep in a restaurant, or pastry work in a hotel kitchen. The 600W motor manages standard loads well, though operators running very stiff doughs at high volume should bear in mind that this capacity is best suited to lighter-to-medium mixing demands rather than extended heavy kneading cycles.

The machine is constructed from aluminium and stainless steel, which keeps the unit reasonably compact and straightforward to keep clean. Practical safety features built into the design include a bowl locking system, automatic shut-off when the guard is raised, and an emergency stop button — all of which matter in a busy prep environment.

• Eight speed settings for control across a wide range of mixing tasks
• Stainless steel bowl with locking mechanism for stable, safe operation
• Three interchangeable attachments included as standard
• Automatic shut-off and emergency stop for safe daily use
• Aluminium and steel construction balances durability with manageable weight

Installation is straightforward — this is a countertop unit requiring only a standard mains socket and a stable, level surface with adequate clearance above the bowl for attachment changes. At 30kg it can be moved for cleaning but is weighty enough to warrant a permanent position on a solid prep bench. No specialist installation is required.

The Santos 27 suits restaurants, takeaways, small bakeries and hotel kitchens where mixing tasks are regular but not at industrial scale. For operations running longer production runs or working with significantly larger batch sizes, a higher-capacity model would be worth considering. Equally, for very occasional or light use, a smaller unit may offer better value.
