This offer ends in:
The HM550WB is a 550W hand blender designed for continuous mixing, pureeing, and emulsification in commercial kitchens. The 300mm stick reaches into deep containers. Bakery, hotel, and restaurant pastry staff use it for sauces, soups, batters, and small-batch emulsions.
Commercial Application
This unit handles repetitive blending tasks that do not require a floor-standing mixer. Chefs work directly in stock pots, cambro containers, or prep bowls. The variable speed control between 3000 and 16000 rpm adjusts shear force to match product viscosity.
During service prep, the blender processes hollandaise, velouté, custard bases, and vegetable purees. The 300mm stick length allows operators to work in vessels up to 20 litres without splashing. Removable head and stick simplify cleaning between batches.
Key Operational Advantages
- 550W motor delivers 3000–16000 rpm with continuous variable speed control

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for continuous operation?
A: The 550W motor is rated for intermittent duty with 2-minute blending periods followed by 1-minute cooling intervals. Continuous operation beyond this cycle may trigger thermal cutout protection. Contact TurcoBazaar for extended-duty specifications if your workflow requires longer blending times.
Q: What is the maximum vessel capacity this unit can handle?
A: The 300mm stick length accommodates vessels up to 20 litres when working at 70% fill level. Operators should maintain stick immersion below product surface to prevent air incorporation. Larger batch volumes require multiple blending passes or a floor-standing mixer.
Q: Which speed setting should be used for different products?
A: Low speeds (3000–8000 rpm) work for thick batters, mashed vegetables, and coarse purees. High speeds (10000–16000 rpm) emulsify sauces, mayonnaise, and vinaigrettes. Variable control allows adjustment during blending to prevent splatter when starting or to increase shear for smoother textures.
Q: Are additional attachments available for this model?
A: The HM550WB is supplied with one 300mm blending stick and standard blade assembly. Replacement sticks and alternative blade configurations are available through TurcoBazaar. Whisk attachments are not compatible with this stick blender motor housing.
Q: What voltage and phase does this unit require?
A: The unit operates on 230V single-phase supply standard in UK and European commercial kitchens. USA and Canadian buyers require a step-down transformer for 120V circuits or should specify 120V motor configuration at time of order. Power consumption is 550W at full load.
