When visiting our showroom, many customers often think that the K-shaped stainless steel casting in the picture above is the symbol of a large car, but it is actually the core component of a commercial food mixer – the flat mixing blade.
A stand mixer is a common kitchen appliance used by almost every household in developed Western countries, used to make cakes, cookies, pastries, frosting, etc. It works by rotating a set of “beaters” in a bowl containing food or liquid through a gear drive mechanism to prepare food or liquid by mixing.
The flat mixer blade is a key accessory of a stand mixer and is used to mix any mixture with normal to heavy consistency. For culinary purposes, the flat mixer blade is designed and manufactured in stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance. The flat mixer blade processed by stainless steel precision casting has good dimensional accuracy and smooth surface, suitable for a variety of foods.
Producing mixing blades with stainless steel food grade materials
The flat mixing head of the stand mixer is produced in stainless steel because it is one of the most durable, versatile and worry-free metals.
The chromium content of stainless steel is about 10-11%. When stainless steel mixing heads are exposed to air, the chromium in the stainless steel forms a chromium oxide film on the surface of the mixing head. This film is blunt, non-toxic, and most importantly, it prevents rust by isolating stainless steel products from air and moisture. Even if the flat mixing head is scratched, the chromium oxide will re-form seamlessly.
This property eliminates people’s concerns about its rust. Unlike aluminum and iron, it is also inactive, so we can use it to mix acidic foods.
There are several advantages to producing cast stainless steel flat mixing heads in the stainless steel precision casting process. For example, it provides reliable process control and repeatability that remains unchanged from casting to casting. The cost of injection wax molds is lower than other casting molds. The surface quality is good and the dimensions are accurate.
As a leading stainless steel precision casting processing factory in China, Nbcastings has nearly 20 years of experience in manufacturing stainless steel precision casting parts, providing a full process from mold development to casting and processing. We have rich experience in processing stainless steel precision casting parts for various industries, including flat mixing blades. If you need this part, please feel free to contact us!
