Anyone know about industrial size blenders?

Regardless of what he ends up buying, I can point him to some local guys he can give his business too. With this kind of stuff, he won't want to buy online because he won't have any support after the sale.

So there is this unit. It's a 45 quart Blixer. The size is enough to hold his end product, but he's going to have to feed the peppers a bit at a time, because it won't hold 45 lbs of peppers dumped in at once. That's a shit ton of peppers. Disclaimer, I do not represent this line. They are the 'Kleenex' brand of heavy duty food processing. I represent a competitor of Robot Coupe, and have been stealing business from them for 3-4 years now.

This Sammic unit below would be my recommendation. This will be overkill at first, but gives him plenty room to grow.

Now, I fully realize this may not at all be what you were thinking when you said "industrial sized blender". These are heavy duty food production machines. Not for small batches, and are built to be worked all day long. Your coworker may very well shit his pants when he sees the pricing, but this is the cost of playing the game at the volume he thinks he is going to do.

We make several smaller sizes. 3.5 litre, 5 litre, 8 litre, etc. As does Robot Coupe. But none of those will do 40 lbs of peppers all at once. These are significantly less costly, but will require more labor on his part adding peppers as needed.

choo choo!!!

I have an old (so old there is not a safety cage) Hobart 40qt floor mixer but I do not know if there are blender attachments available for it. The bearings and seals in the gear box were replaced prior to me getting it.

There are no such attachments.

There are no such attachments.

Then I guess that I will hang onto it and make a fucking machine out of it like I originally planned.

Of course you do...

Chris, you can show him this too. This is a 8.5 quart table top unit. Works like a champ, powerful, but the bowl won't hold close to his amount. It will do more than his residential blenders are though, with a longer life, and more safely.

There are also these. This may be the route he wants to go due to cost, and not yet knowing whether he has a viable business on his hands or not. Just keep in mind, this is labor intensive. All manual operation.

Of course you do...

It was left in a storage unit after the tenant moved out. She owned a bakery on Lovers Ln in UP that closed a few years ago; Ashton or Anstons bakery I believe was the name. There were two of them and I gave one away.

choo choo!!!

That roll around Sammic unit costs about $9000. It's actually a damn good price, if you've got the need for something like that.

You could get a pretty decent offer out of it I'm sure. There is a guy locally that does nothing but rebuild those old Hobarts, and I think he sells them for $5000 or so for the 60 quart models.

Damn. I had them on craigslist for months and did not receive a single call and gave one of them away.

That is surprising. When restaurants close down, and the owners try to unload everything, or when the auction houses come in, those mixers are one of the first things to go.

The old Hobarts are gear driven. The new ones are variable speed, and use a series of rubber bands for the drive. A lot of pizza places that use a thicker, more dense dough hate the new Hobarts because their dough product is too thick, and it will snap the mixing shaft right off if they aren't paying attention. The manufacturer I represent is also variable speed/band driven, but we make a model specific for pizza with a higher HP motor and a larger mixing shaft, that's not prone to snapping with dense product. Hobart still hasn't figured that out, or hasn't done it well enough, so there is still a massive market for the old gear driven mixers.

Lmao. Feel free to take this knowledge off my hands. I could use the memory space for other things.
