Planetary launch from FEM

Hamilton Beach Commercial mixer is compact, capacious, tough and multifunctional

FEM has launched a new planetary stand mixer that’s compact yet capacious, as well as being robust and multifunctional – it can whip, beat, knead and mix.  The CPM800-UK mixer is designed in the USA by Hamilton Beach Commercial and, like the rest of the brand’s range, it’s manufactured to stand up to the toughest commercial conditions.

The eight litre, stainless steel bowl can handle up to 2kg of flour and has large handles to make it easy to lift when full.  The heavy duty accessories are made of stainless steel and include a dough hook, beater and wire whisk.  Splash shields protect the hub from ingredients during mixing.

The CPM800-UK is designed to be simple to operate and to deliver the best possible mix.  The plastic bowl guard is BPA-free and has a large ingredients chute, while the seven-speed dial, with pulse option, can be adjusted during mixing.  The tilt-back head allows easy access to add larger ingredients, scrape sides, change attachments and remove the bowl.  The five rubber feet are strategically placed to give optimum stability.

The main body of the mixer is made of die cast aluminium, so it’s smooth, sleek and wipes clean easily.  It’s also tough – as is the unit’s 1500W motor with its all-metal gears, which are engineered for a long service life.

The CPM800-UK measures 40cm high by 35cm wide and 43cm deep, so it fits easily on counters and worktops in kitchens and bakeries.  It’s available through FEM dealers and is backed by a no-nonsense two year parts and labour warranty.  The list price is £740.
