The HM550WC is a 550W stick blender with a 400mm immersion shaft for processing batches of soups, sauces, and emulsions in commercial kitchens. It operates at variable speeds from 3000 to 16000 rpm with continuous control. Pastry chefs and line cooks use it for pureeing, blending, and emulsifying in volumes up to 6 kg per cycle.
Commercial Application
This hand mixer handles prep tasks that require direct immersion in deep pots or mixing bowls. The 400mm shaft reaches into stock pots and sauce pans without transferring contents to separate blending equipment. Variable speed control allows operators to adjust agitation intensity based on ingredient viscosity.
During service prep, the unit purees vegetable soups, emulsifies vinaigrettes, and blends sauces to order. The 6 kg capacity rating matches typical batch sizes in hotel kitchens and mid-volume restaurants. Removable shaft components allow rapid cleaning between different prep tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum batch size this stick blender can process?
A: The HM550WC is rated for 6 kg batch capacity. This matches typical soup and sauce volumes in commercial prep. Larger batches require multiple cycles or a floor-standing mixer.
Q: What motor power does the unit deliver during continuous operation?
A: The motor is rated at 550W continuous output on 230V single-phase supply. Peak output reaches 700W during startup or high-viscosity blending. Duty cycle is designed for repeated commercial kitchen use.
Q: How many speed settings are available?
A: The unit features continuous variable speed control from 3000 to 16000 rpm. Operators adjust speed with a dial during operation. No fixed speed increments.
Q: What attachments are included with the blender?
A: The standard configuration includes the 400mm immersion blending shaft. Additional whisks or chopping attachments are ordered separately. Shaft removal allows attachment changes without tools.
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for commercial use?
A: The HM550WC is built for repeated commercial kitchen operation. Typical duty cycle allows continuous blending for several minutes followed by brief motor cooling. Extended production runs require periodic rest intervals.
