D300 specifications

The Hobart D300 is a high-performance dough mixer that combines advanced technology with robust engineering to meet the demands of busy commercial kitchens. Designed for bakeries, pizzerias, and restaurants, the D300 is capable of handling large quantities of dough, making it an essential piece of equipment for any establishment focused on bread and pastry production.

One of the main features of the D300 is its powerful motor, which ensures a consistent mixing process. With a heavy-duty 3-horsepower motor, the mixer can easily handle up to 300 pounds of dough, providing the capacity needed for high-volume operations. This power enables the mixer to blend thick and heavy ingredients effortlessly, resulting in a well-mixed dough with optimal consistency.

The D300 is equipped with a unique planetary mixing action, which allows for thorough mixing while reducing the risk of dough overheating. This design ensures that all ingredients are incorporated evenly, whether it’s flour, water, yeast, or any other additives. The mixer also includes a variable speed control feature, giving operators the ability to adjust the mixing speed based on the specific requirements of their recipes.

Another key characteristic of the Hobart D300 is its durable construction. Built with a stainless steel bowl and a cast aluminum body, the mixer is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. The stainless steel bowl not only provides a sleek appearance but also ensures easy cleaning and resistance to rust and corrosion. Additionally, the machine features a safety interlock system that prevents operation when the bowl is raised, enhancing user safety.

In terms of technology, the D300 is designed for ease of use. It features simple toggle switches for speed selection, making it accessible for all staff members, regardless of experience level. The mixer also has a large capacity bowl that can comfortably accommodate multiple batches, reducing the time spent transferring dough between containers.

The Hobart D300 is also easy to maintain, with readily accessible parts and straightforward cleaning procedures. This reliability and efficiency make it a favorite among operators who need a dependable mixer that can handle a diverse range of dough types and recipes.

In summary, the Hobart D300 dough mixer stands out due to its powerful motor, versatile mixing capabilities, durable construction, user-friendly design, and ease of maintenance. Whether used for making artisanal bread or high-volume pizza dough, the D300 is an essential tool for achieving consistent, high-quality results in any commercial kitchen.
