6.13 AGITATORS AND ATTACHMENTS. Hobart Quick Release ™ agitators are available for the Legacy mixers and for
the type of product that is being mixed.
The B Flat Beater is a multi-purpose agitator used for mashing
potatoes or other vegetables, and mixing cakes, batters or icings. It is
also used in industrial applications for any product requiring a
creaming or rubbing action and uniform dispersion of ingredients. Use
first speed for starting most operations; medium speed for finishing.
The D Wire Whip is designed for maximum blending of air into light
products. Uses include: whipping cream, beating egg whites, mixing
very light icings, meringues and all similar applications. The D Wire
Whip is most commonly used in third and fourth speed.
The ED Dough Hook is used for mixing most bread, roll and
pizza dough, which require folding, and stretching action for best
development. These agitators are suitable for use on all yeast raised
doughs and should be operated in first, second or third speed.
The C Wing Whip is used for whipping material that is too heavy for
the D Wire Whip. The heavy frame permits its use for light creaming
and beating. It is often used for whipping or blending potatoes, butter,
and mayonnaise or light icings. It is generally used in first and second
speed for whipping heavy products like potatoes or in third or fourth
speed for light products such as mayonnaise or icings.
The P Pastry Knife combines shortening with flour, and is ideal for
light pastry shells (patty shells), flaky pie dough and similar mixes. The
cutting action of the knife practically eliminates rubbing and allows
delicate ingredients to be combined without over development. The P
Pastry Knife is suitable for stirring operations in low speeds and for
fast cutting operations in medium speeds. You should not use the
P Pastry Knife at high speed if you want the pastry to have a flaky
texture.
