Performance & Convenience:

• The true 2/3 steam jacket ensures uniform heat transfer with a 50 psi rating, providing reliable heating performance.
• The infinitely variable speed control allows for precise adjustments, with a range of 0–70 RPM for the scraper and 0–210 RPM for the agitator.
• The sweep-and-fold agitator features tool-less, removable nylon scraper blades, preventing any burn-on issues.
• The 0.75 HP D.C. timing-belt drive powers the mixer, allowing it to handle tough, high-solids recipes without stalling.
• The manual lever tilt can pour up to 120° and has a reversible handle for left- or right-handed operation, offering convenient pouring flexibility.
• The built-in steam control valve and factory-installed steam control kit eliminate the need to source extra parts.
• The double pantry faucet provides on-board hot and cold water access for batching or clean-in-place operations.
• The two-piece hinged cover with a safety screen stops the mixing automatically when the bridge is lifted, ensuring user safety.
• The gallon markings on the agitator shaft allow for quick and repeatable scaling of ingredient quantities.
• The heavy-duty stainless steel construction, including the exterior surfaces, mixer bridge (10-gauge), and open-leg frame, ensures durability and long-lasting performance.

Operator-Focused Safety:

• The speed-lockout feature prevents the machine from starting at high speeds, ensuring safer operation.
• The mixing action is instantly halted when the bridge is raised, prioritizing safety.
• The open-leg base includes anchor holes, which means the unit must be bolted to the floor to eliminate the risk of tipping over.
• The machine is compliant with NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) standards, and it has a pressure relief valve to protect the integrity of the jacket.
