Professional and household
Mixers for professionals can be distinguished by a wide range of functions, high performance and reliability. Practically, this is expressed in a huge variety of nozzles, the ability to cope with the processing of thick masses and in various additional options. As for the materials from which the body and the working parts of the mixers are made, the professional versions are made of durable high-quality materials.
Such a device is quite possible to use at home, but it costs much more than household models and requires more space for placement. Household can quite satisfy the needs of an individual family in milkshakes. They are suitable for smoothies, and for milk with strawberries.
In everyday life, in fitness bars, kindergartens and sanatoriums, a cocktail maker is often used — a non-electric device designed to make oxygen cocktails. The device is a container with a tube for supplying oxygen and a spray.
Device and principle of operation
The mixer for milkshakes is an apparatus for beating liquids and semi-liquid compositions and filling them with air. It consists of a glass for mixes, a mixing rod and an engine.
The set of such a device includes knives, beaters and horns for the supply of the prepared beverage to the glasses. High-quality models are made of stainless steel and have a high speed of rotation. Mixers come with one horn or more. To increase comfort in work, each horn is supplied with a separate start button and you can make a cocktail in one cup or in all at once.
Professional models are made from metal alloys. They have a massive base, allowing to level the vibration process and slow down the movement of the device on the surface. In addition, working mixers have an ergonomic design with round corners for safe operation, overload sensors and a powerful engine. Structural features of the corolla does not allow splashing out of the glass.
A mixer for milkshakes can have special fasteners, with the help of which it is hung on a wall or other support. They harmoniously fit into small rooms, using a small area to the maximum.
Any milk mixer, both professional and household, works on the same principle: the ingredients are placed in a glass and whipped with a whisk. The higher the rotation speed of the mixing rod, the better the content of the glass and the foam will be whipped. The speed of rotation of the rims varies from 8 to 17 thousand revolutions, depending on the model.
How to choose
Choosing a mixer for milkshakes, you need to decide which model suits you: home or professional.As mentioned earlier, they differ in price, performance, quality of materials and a set of options. For the preparation of the house, a single-track device is also suitable, but for work it is better to choose multi-track ones. Before buying, pay attention to whether the function of splitting ice is present in the selected mixer, which you will certainly need in preparing milkshakes and other drinks.
Professional models are made of stainless steel, aluminum and aluminum alloys. The use of plastic parts in units of this class is prohibited by technical regulations, since professional equipment is experiencing a greater degree of load. For this reason, the weight of such mixers for milkshakes is impressive enough: from 5-10 kg or more, which makes it possible to consider them as stationary equipment. In addition, the engine of such models is very powerful, allowing for a few seconds to process a large volume of products and having a longer service life.
So, deciding to buy a mixer for work or home use for milkshakes,Be sure to study its parameters and characteristics such as structural features (that is, how and what the device is made of), power, overall parameters, volume of processed raw materials, additional options, service life and equipment stability.
