Buffalo 20 Litre Planetary Mixer

The Buffalo 20 litre planetary mixer is a floor-standing mixing machine designed for professional food preparation environments. It uses a planetary action — where the attachment rotates on its own axis while simultaneously orbiting the bowl — to ensure thorough, consistent mixing throughout the full volume of the bowl. It comes supplied as standard with three attachments: a dough hook, a flat beater, and a wire whisk, covering the majority of mixing tasks found in a commercial kitchen or bakery.

In a working kitchen, this mixer handles the kinds of repeated, high-load tasks that quickly wear out lighter domestic or semi-commercial machines. It is well suited to daily dough production, batch mixing of pastry or cake batter, whipping cream or egg whites at volume, and preparing mashed or blended side dishes during prep. With a dough capacity of 7.5kg, it can process a meaningful batch in a single run, which makes it practical for smaller bakeries, hotel kitchens, and pub or restaurant operations where bread, pastry, or dessert production is a regular part of service.

Key practical advantages include:

• Three interchangeable attachments covering dough, beating, and whisking tasks
• Three speed settings to suit different ingredient types and mixing stages
• Lever-action bowl lift for safe and straightforward bowl positioning
• Wire safety guard and quick-stop button for day-to-day operator safety
• Stainless steel construction that holds up to commercial cleaning routines

At 92kg, this is a heavy piece of equipment and will need a stable, level surface capable of bearing that load. It should be positioned with sufficient clearance above the bowl for safe attachment changes, and close enough to a suitable power supply for the 1.1kW motor. While it is a robust machine, sites with very high-volume bread production or continuous multi-batch operation through a full service may find a larger-capacity model a better long-term fit.

This mixer is a practical choice for restaurant kitchens, small-to-mid-size bakeries, hotel operations, and catering companies with regular batch preparation requirements. It is less well suited to very high-throughput baking environments where a 30 litre or larger machine would be a more appropriate match for daily production volumes.

If you are unsure whether the 20 litre capacity will meet your throughput requirements, or if you have questions about siting and installation, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
