Hobart Commercial Mixers

If you've decided to buy a Hobart Commercial mixer, you'll need to decide which one is best suited to your mixing needs... Read More Because Hobart offers so many different choices, Industry Kitchens has put together a quick guide designed to help you choose the right one for your commercial kitchen.
The development of the HOBART planetary mixing machines follows a clear goal: making daily work in the commercial kitchen easier.
Backed by more than 100 years of experience in the foodservice industry. Hobart mixers have been used by professional Chefs & Pastry Chefs for generations in restaurants, bakeries, patisseries, cafe's, hospitals, aged care and other operations. Hobart's planetary, spiral, and pizza mixers are available as countertop and floor mixers in capacities ranging from 5 kilos of batter to 100 kilos of dough.
Hobart mixers have a reputation for unparalleled strength, speed, and durability. Each Hobart mixer is tested under extreme conditions in the manufacturer’s unique technical center to ensure it holds up to the company's high standards. These tests put critical components of every Hobart mixer model through work they’ll likely never face in your kitchen. As an added bonus, Hobart equipment also comes with the assurance of an Australian  nationwide, factory-trained service technician team.

Why Choose a Hobart Commercial Planetary Mixer?

  • Legacy engineering, built to outlast fashion brands. Hobart Legacy planetary mixers are manufactured with all-steel gearing, cast-iron transmissions, and VFD (variable frequency drive) motors rated for continuous commercial duty — the reason the same Hobart mixer often runs in the same bakery for 20+ years.
  • Made in Germany to AS/NZS commercial standards. Every Hobart planetary mixer supplied by Industry Kitchens meets Australian commercial electrical safety standards, uses food-grade stainless bowls and tools, and is rated for professional production bakery, pizza, patisserie, and kitchen environments.
  • National Hobart service network and genuine spare parts. Industry Kitchens supplies factory-backed warranty, original spare parts stocked in Australia, and authorised Hobart service technicians across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, and regional Australia — so planned maintenance and unplanned breakdowns are both handled locally.
  • Melbourne demo kitchen and specialist sizing advice. See N50, HL200, HL300, HL600, and HL800 units running at the Industry Kitchens demo kitchen, or speak to a mixer specialist on 1800 296 897 for honest sizing advice based on your peak daily batch weight — not a brochure spec.

Buying Guide: Hobart Planetary Mixers

Hobart's planetary mixer range covers every commercial duty profile from a café bench through to a production bakery floor. The right mixer comes down to bowl capacity matched to your peak batch, dough type, and available power supply.

Bench / Compact — Hobart N50

The Hobart N50 is a 5-quart bench-top planetary mixer built on full commercial internals. Ideal for cafés, patisseries, dessert kitchens, and cocktail bars that need whipped cream, aioli, icing, and small-batch bakery prep without dedicating floor space to a larger unit. Three fixed speeds, cast-iron body, and compatibility with #12 hub attachments for slicing and grating.

20 Quart — Centerline HMM, A200, and Legacy HL200

The 20-quart class is the workhorse size for cafés, restaurants, and small bakeries. The Centerline HMM20-90A is the entry Hobart option (3 speeds, mechanical transmission); the A200 sits mid-range; the Legacy HL200 adds SmartTimer, 4 speeds, and the bowl-sensor-equipped Shift-on-the-Fly gearing that lets operators change speed without stopping the motor.

Mid-range — Legacy HL300 & HL400 (30 and 40 Quart)

The 30-quart HL300 and 40-quart HL400 suit production patisseries, medium-throughput bakeries, and high-volume pizza kitchens. Both include Shift-on-the-Fly, SmartTimer with programmable auto-reverse, and VFD drives — capable of heavy yeast doughs, bagels, pasta, and continuous bakery shifts.

Floor-standing — Legacy HL600, HL800 & HL1400 (60–140 Quart)

The HL600 (60-quart), HL800 (80-quart), and HL1400 (140-quart) are production-floor planetary mixers for wholesale bakeries, commissary kitchens, and large pizza production lines. All three run three-phase VFD drives, include power bowl lift, and accept #12 hub attachments plus dough hook, flat beater, and wire whip in stainless steel.

Care & Maintenance for Hobart Planetary Mixers

  1. Clean bowl, tools, and splash guard after every shift. Hobart stainless bowls, dough hooks, beaters, and wire whips are all dishwasher-safe — wash daily with non-chlorinated detergent to prevent pitting and keep bearings clean.
  2. Service the planetary transmission annually. Hobart recommends an authorised technician check gear oil, planetary bearings, and clutch plates every 12 months (or every 1000 operating hours for production bakeries) — extends motor and gearbox life well past 15 years.
  3. Inspect the bowl guard and safety interlock weekly. All Legacy HL mixers ship with an interlocked bowl guard that cuts power if lifted mid-cycle — check the interlock switch engages properly to stay compliant with workplace safety requirements.
  4. Use the right attachment for the dough. Dough hook for heavy yeast and pizza bases; flat beater for cake batter, shortcrust, and creaming; wire whip for aerated mixes and meringue. Wrong attachment shortens bearing life and motor service intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hobart Planetary Mixers

Which Hobart planetary mixer size is right for my kitchen?

Match bowl capacity to your peak single-batch weight, then add 25% headroom. As a rule of thumb: N50 (5 qt) for cafés and patisseries with small batches; Centerline HMM20, A200, or HL200 (20 qt) for most restaurants, pizza shops, and small bakeries; HL300/HL400 (30–40 qt) for busier bakeries and production kitchens; HL600 up to HL1400 for wholesale production bakeries processing 40 kg+ of flour per batch.

What's the difference between the Centerline HMM, A200, and Legacy HL series?

The Centerline HMM is Hobart's entry-level 20-quart commercial mixer with 3 fixed speeds and mechanical transmission — best value for cafés and restaurants on a budget. The A200 is the long-standing mid-tier 20qt with 3 speeds and a heavier cast body. The Legacy HL series is Hobart's premium line — VFD drive, SmartTimer, Shift-on-the-Fly (change speed under load), and bowl sensors — and is the correct choice for production bakery and pizza applications where the mixer runs continuously through service.

Can a Hobart planetary mixer handle bread and pizza dough?

Yes — Hobart Legacy HL-series mixers are rated for heavy yeast doughs and continuous bakery duty, and are the industry standard in Australian wholesale bakeries and high-volume pizza kitchens. For dense pizza dough and sourdough, use the spiral dough hook at speed 1, observe the manufacturer's absorption guidelines, and size up one bowl capacity from your peak batch to protect the gearbox. The smaller N50 and A200 will handle light bread doughs but are not recommended for continuous pizza or artisan bakery production.

What attachments are available for Hobart planetary mixers?

Every Hobart commercial mixer ships with a stainless flat beater, wire whip, and dough hook in bowl-matched sizing. Optional accessories include bowl scrapers, bowl trucks (for HL400 and larger), dough arm hooks for heavy yeast doughs, pastry knife attachments, and the #12 hub power take-off (on 20qt and larger) which accepts meat grinder, vegetable slicer, shredder, and grater attachments — effectively turning the mixer into a food prep station.

Do Hobart planetary mixers need three-phase power?

The N50, Centerline HMM20, A200, and HL200 all run on standard single-phase 240V supply (10A or 15A GPO depending on the exact model). The HL300 and HL400 can run on heavy single-phase or three-phase — three-phase is recommended for bakery duty cycles. The HL600, HL800, and HL1400 all require three-phase power. Our specialists confirm the correct electrical supply and circuit before delivery so the installing electrician knows exactly what's needed.

What warranty and service support do Hobart mixers come with in Australia?

Every Hobart planetary mixer supplied by Industry Kitchens comes with manufacturer-backed parts and labour warranty, with optional extended warranty available on most models. Genuine Hobart spare parts are stocked in Australia — bowls, beaters, hooks, wire whips, control boards, drive belts, planetary bearings — and authorised Hobart service technicians cover Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, and regional Australia. Preventative service contracts are available for multi-site bakery and pizza operators.

Is a Hobart mixer better than Anvil, Univex, KitchenAid, or Robot Coupe for commercial use?

For high-volume commercial production — particularly pizza and wholesale bakery — Hobart Legacy is widely regarded as the Australian industry benchmark for reliability, resale value, and motor/gearbox longevity. KitchenAid commercial (KSM series) suits lighter-duty foodservice; Anvil and Univex are strong value options for cafés and small restaurants; Robot Coupe is exceptional at bowl cutting and food processing but is not a direct planetary mixer competitor. For 30-quart-and-above production work, Hobart Legacy HL is the go-to specification.

Can I finance a Hobart planetary mixer through Industry Kitchens?

Yes — Industry Kitchens offers commercial equipment finance on the full Hobart mixer range with 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60-month terms. Chattel mortgage, rental, and hire-purchase structures are available for ABN holders, and pre-approval typically returns within 24 hours. A 20-quart HL200 or smaller A200 often sits around the instant asset write-off threshold — call 1800 296 897 or request a quote to discuss the best structure for your tax position.

How to Choose the Right Hobart Planetary Mixer

  1. Confirm your peak batch size. Weigh your largest single batch of dough, cream, or batter at peak service. Hobart bowl capacity is quoted in quarts — 1 quart ≈ 0.95 litres. Your bowl capacity should be at least 1.25× your peak batch weight to protect the motor and gearbox.
  2. Match mixer class to duty cycle. Occasional use in a café? N50 or Centerline HMM20. Daily bakery production with yeast doughs? Legacy HL200 or HL300. Wholesale pizza or bakery running all day? HL600 through HL1400 on three-phase.
  3. Confirm electrical supply and circuit. Check whether you have standard 10A GPO, a dedicated 15A single-phase, or three-phase available at the install location. Share this with your Industry Kitchens mixer specialist before ordering — the wrong supply is the most common pre-install rework.
  4. Verify site conditions and delivery access. Floor load rating (HL800 and HL1400 require engineered floor), door and corridor widths, bowl truck access, and ventilation clearance for the motor. Share site photos with our team for pre-install sign-off.
