This offer ends in:
The BH40 is a 40-litre planetary mixer rated at 1500W with three mechanical speeds. It processes dough, batters, and whipped products in bakeries, hotel pastry kitchens, and restaurant production areas. Bowl capacity supports batch sizes up to 131 kg per cycle.
Commercial Application
Planetary mixing systems rotate the agitator on its own axis while orbiting the bowl perimeter. This dual motion ensures full incorporation of flour, fats, and liquids without dead zones. Manual bowl lift and three-speed selection allow operators to match agitator speed to product viscosity.
Used during prep shifts for bread dough, cake batters, pastry cream, and meringue production. A 40-litre bowl handles multiple loaf batches or full-service dessert components in a single cycle. Manual speed control prevents over-mixing of delicate products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the working capacity of the 40-litre bowl in kg of dough?
A: The BH40 processes up to 131 kg of dough per cycle. Actual capacity depends on dough hydration and flour type. Reduce batch size for high-hydration or enriched doughs.
Q: What motor power does the BH40 use?
A: The mixer operates with a 1500W single-phase motor at 230V. This provides sufficient torque for bread dough and heavy batters. Single-phase power simplifies installation in most commercial kitchens.
Q: How many speed settings are available?
A: The BH40 has three fixed mechanical speeds selected by manual control. Low speed is used for dough kneading, medium for batters, and high for whipping. No electronic speed variation is included.
Q: Which mixing attachments are included?
A: Standard planetary mixers include a dough hook, flat beater, and wire whip. All attachments are stainless steel and interchangeable. Confirm included tools with TurcoBazaar before ordering.
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for continuous operation?
A: Duty cycle depends on motor thermal limits and ambient temperature. For continuous production, run 20-minute cycles with 5-minute rest intervals. Consult TurcoBazaar for extended-duty operational guidance.
