This offer ends in:
The BH10 is a 10-litre planetary mixer equipped with a 400W motor and three mechanical speed settings. It processes dough, batters, and whipped preparations in bakeries, hotel pastry sections, and café kitchens. The unit handles up to 1 kg of dough per cycle with a planetary action that moves the tool around the bowl while rotating on its own axis.
Commercial Application
Planetary mixers fit into pre-production workflow where pastry chefs and bakers prepare dough, batter, and aerated products before portioning or baking. The 10-litre bowl capacity suits operations preparing 8–12 servings per mix cycle without requiring manual whisking or hand mixing.
The three fixed speeds allow operators to select low rotation for heavy dough, medium for batters, and high for whipping egg whites or cream. A 400W motor maintains consistent torque across speed settings during active mixing periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the actual bowl capacity in kilograms of dough?
A: The BH10 has a 10-litre bowl volume and handles up to 1 kg of dough per mixing cycle. Capacity varies by product density: batters and whipped cream occupy more volume than dense bread dough.
Q: How does the 400W motor perform with heavy dough?
A: The 400W motor provides sufficient torque for bread dough and pastry at low speed. The planetary gear reduction maintains consistent mixing action under load. Continuous operation beyond 15 minutes may require motor cool-down intervals.
Q: What are the three speed settings used for?
A: Low speed mixes heavy dough and folds ingredients. Medium speed combines batters and cake mixes. High speed whips egg whites, cream, and light emulsions. Speeds are mechanically fixed and selected by lever.
Q: Which attachments are included with the BH10?
A: The mixer ships with a stainless steel dough hook, flat beater, and wire whisk. All attachments mount to the planetary drive shaft with a locking collar. Replacement attachments are available from TurcoBazaar.
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for continuous use?
A: The BH10 is designed for intermittent duty cycles typical of small bakery and pastry operations. Continuous mixing beyond 15–20 minutes requires rest periods to prevent motor overheating. Operations requiring continuous production should evaluate larger capacity models.
