The Hobart HL400 planetary mixer is built for demanding commercial environments where consistent, high-volume mixing is essential. With its 40-quart bowl capacity and 2 HP motor, this floor-standing unit handles large batches of dough, batter, and other preparations. The mixer's stainless steel bowl and arms provide durability and ease of cleaning, while the planetary mixing action ensures thorough ingredient incorporation. At 290 pounds and measuring 30 inches square with a 38-inch height, the HL400 requires a stable floor location and adequate clearance for bowl removal and operation.
Electrical requirements for the HL400 include a dedicated 208-volt three-phase connection, which is standard in most commercial kitchens but should be verified during installation planning. The unit ships with a bowl and beater, allowing operators to begin production immediately upon installation. The compact 30-inch footprint makes efficient use of floor space while still delivering the capacity needed for bakeries, hotels, and large-scale food preparation facilities.
Hobart backs the HL400 with a one-year parts warranty. Regular maintenance and proper operation help ensure long service life in busy kitchen environments. The heavy-duty classification reflects the mixer's ability to withstand continuous daily use, making it a practical choice for operations where reliability and consistent output are priorities.
