Planetary Mixer
Planetary Mixer Varimixer AR
Brand: Varimixer
The Varimixer AR is a planetary mixer for beating, whipping and kneading in medium-sized bakeries, commercial kitchens and large-scale food production. Speed is varied by a rugged belt system instead of gears, so the mixer head contains no oil that could drip into the bowl. Models run from AR30 to AR200.
Overview
How this equipment is used
The mixer for everyone and everything
Whether you need to beat, whip or knead, there is likely to be a Varimixer AR that is perfect for the job, for medium-sized bakeries, commercial kitchens or large-scale food production.
The speed is variably controlled by a very rugged belt system rather than gears. This means the mixer contains no oil, avoiding the risk of oil spilling into the bowl.
Simply place the bowl between the two arms, and it can be lowered, raised and locked in place in a single smooth movement - no heavy manual lifting.
Manual or automatic control
- AR 30-80 litre models: manual speed control and bowl raising/lowering by lever, or automatic control using the machine's intuitive display
- AR100 and larger: these functions are automatic
Safety guards
- AR30, AR40 and AR60: newly developed detachable safety guard that mounts quickly without tools; held by magnets that also act as a safety switch, so the machine stops when the guard is lifted
- Guard variants: stainless steel with a CE-approved plastic front and filling chute for adding ingredients during work, or a stainless steel grid front and back (not CE approved)
- AR80 and AR100: fixed CE-approved plastic safety screen as standard, with an optional removable plastic guard
- AR200: removable stainless steel safety guard, with an optional sealed stainless steel guard that protects against dust and splashes
Accessories
All models can be fitted with an accessory bowl and three tools at half the machine's size.
