Meat Mixers

What is a professional meat mixer?

A commercial meat mixer is a machine designed to mix and blend large quantities of meat, spices and other ingredients. It’s normally used for making sausages, burger patties and meatloaf. These meat mixers are ideal for food establishments like butcheries and delis that need to process a high volume of ground meat quickly and consistently. They are also very versatile and can be used for various types of meats and other ingredients.

Maxima offers meat mixers in a range of sizes, with larger models featuring a double shaft. Thanks to their stainless steel design and easy-to-dismantle parts, cleaning is an easy task.

What are the benefits of using a professional meat mixer?

Professional meat mixers are essential for establishments that produce a high volume of ground meat-based products every day. Here are some of the benefits of using a meat mixer:

Control over the mixing process

One of the main benefits of using a manual meat mixer is the control it gives you over the mixing process. Unlike automatic meat mixers, which operate at a set speed and intensity, manual mixers allow you to adjust the mixing speed and direction according to your specific needs. This is especially useful for recipes that require delicate mixing or for achieving a certain texture in your ground meat.

Versatility

These mixers can handle a variety of meats, including beef, pork, chicken and fish. They can also be used for mixing other ingredients like vegetables or spices, giving you even more creative control over your recipes. A meat mixer allows you to create unique blends and experiment with various flavours. This allows your customers to enjoy delicious and different options.

Easy to clean

Professional meat mixers are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. Unlike more complex automatic mixers, these machines have fewer parts and are easy to disassemble and clean. This saves you time and effort and ensures that your equipment is always in top condition for use. Plus, with proper care and cleaning, a meat mixer can have a longer lifespan, saving you money in the long run.

How do you use a meat mixer?

Start by opening the lid and adding your desired amount of meat or other ingredients. Make sure not to exceed the maximum capacity of the reservoir to ensure even distribution of the food. Next, add spices or any other ingredients to enhance the flavour of your dish. Once done, close the lid and turn the handle to set the mixing wing in motion, effectively combining the meat and seasoning. Continue turning until you achieve the desired texture for the meat.

Does the meat need to be ground first into mincemeat? Then it’s advised to use a professional electric meat grinder for the best result. Discover more of Maxima's meat processing equipment such as hamburger presses , sausage stuffers or meat tenderisers.

How to clean a commercial meat mixer

Thoroughly cleaning the meat mixer after each use is essential as raw meat is highly susceptible to bacterial growth. It's also important to prevent any leftover spices or flavourings from contaminating future dishes. Thankfully, the cleaning process is just as simple as operating the meat mixer.

The stainless steel handle and mixing wing can be easily removed and are dishwasher safe. When cleaning the reservoir, start by removing any large food residues with a dry cloth. Then, use a wet cloth and a small amount of detergent to wipe down the inside. For a hygienic result, you can use lemon water or create a solution of vinegar and salt in warm water. Afterward, rinse the appliance with water and allow it to dry before reassembling all the parts.
