The NBB20 is a 20-litre planetary mixer rated at 1100W with three fixed speeds. It processes dough, batter, cream, and filling volumes suitable for mid-scale bakeries, hotel pastry kitchens, and restaurant production lines. Operators select from 68, 170, or 350 RPM based on ingredient viscosity and batch weight.
Commercial Application
Planetary mixers are used in daily baking production where consistent mixing action and repeatable batch results are required. The 20-litre bowl handles dough loads up to 3 kg flour weight per cycle, covering bread dough, cake batter, meringue, and pastry cream preparation. The unit sits between benchtop domestic models and 40+ litre floor-standing production mixers.
Low speed (68 RPM) suits heavy dough mixing and folding. Medium speed (170 RPM) handles batters and medium-viscosity products. High speed (350 RPM) aerates meringue, whips cream, and emulsifies light mixtures. The fixed-speed design reduces complexity during high-volume shifts.
Key Operational Advantages
- 1100W motor drives 20-litre stainless steel bowl through three fixed speeds: 68 / 170 / 350 RPM
- Flour capacity rated at 3.0 kg per cycle for bread and pastry dough production
- Planetary mixing action rotates tool around bowl axis while tool spins on own axis for full ingredient coverage
- Safety guard covers bowl during operation per CE commercial kitchen equipment standards
- Unit weight 61 kg provides stable platform during high-speed operation
- 220V / 50Hz single-phase power supply suits UK and European commercial electrical installations

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum flour weight per batch in the 20-litre bowl?
A: The NBB20 is rated for 3.0 kg flour weight per cycle when mixing bread or pizza dough. Batter and cream volumes will differ based on density. Overloading reduces motor life and mixing consistency.
Q: What motor power is required for continuous daily operation?
A: The 1100W motor is rated for commercial duty cycles in bakeries and pastry kitchens. Continuous operation requires adequate rest intervals between batches to prevent overheating. Consult the manufacturer duty cycle chart for specific shift patterns.
Q: How do the three speed settings differ in use?
A: 68 RPM is for dough kneading and heavy mixing. 170 RPM handles batters and medium-density products. 350 RPM aerates meringue and whips cream. Speed selection depends on ingredient viscosity and desired mixing action.
Q: Which attachments are included with the mixer?
A: The NBB20 ships with stainless steel dough hook, wire whisk, and flat paddle beater as standard. Additional or replacement attachments are available from TurcoBazaar spare parts stock.
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for bakery production?
A: The unit is designed for commercial bakery use with intermittent operation. Typical duty cycle is 15-20 minutes mixing followed by 5-10 minutes rest. Extended continuous use shortens motor brush life and requires planned maintenance intervals.
