This offer ends in:
The HM550WA is a 550W commercial stick blender with a 250mm immersion probe. It processes soups, sauces, purées, and emulsions in volumes up to 20 litres per batch. Pastry chefs and prep cooks use it for continuous blending tasks during service.
Commercial Application
This unit replaces stationary blenders when space is limited or when operators need to blend directly in stock pots and mixing bowls. The 250mm stick reaches into deep containers without transferring product. Variable speed control from 3,000 to 16,000 RPM allows operators to adjust shear rate for different viscosities.
Prep staff use it to purée vegetable bases for soups, emulsify vinaigrettes in bulk, and homogenise sauces before service. The 550W motor maintains consistent speed under load. Removable blending shaft allows rapid cleaning between batches during production shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What container volume can the 250mm stick handle effectively?
A: The 250mm immersion depth suits containers from 5 to 20 litres. Operators achieve full blending coverage in standard 12-litre stock pots. Larger vessels may require angled blending technique to reach all product zones.
Q: How does 550W motor power translate to operational capacity?
A: The 550W motor processes medium-viscosity soups and sauces continuously. It handles vegetable purées, bisques, and vinaigrettes without stalling. Thicker preparations like nut butters or cold roux may exceed torque capacity.
Q: What speed settings are available and when are they used?
A: Continuously variable control spans 3,000 to 16,000 RPM. Lower speeds (3,000–8,000 RPM) reduce aeration when emulsifying mayonnaise or blending dairy-based soups. Higher speeds (10,000–16,000 RPM) achieve fine purées and smooth vegetable bases.
Q: Is the blending shaft dishwasher-safe or hand-wash only?
A: The detachable stainless steel shaft tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles up to 85°C. Hand washing is faster between batches. Motor housing must not be submerged—wipe with damp cloth only.
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for continuous production shifts?
A: The manufacturer specifies intermittent duty: 2 minutes blending, 1 minute rest. Continuous operation beyond 5 minutes may overheat the motor. For high-volume production, rotate between two units or schedule cooling intervals.
