To maintain a planetary mixer, follow these steps:
1. Clean the mixer before applying any oil: Before performing any maintenance tasks, make sure to thoroughly clean the mixer. Remove any attachments and clean them separately.
2. Use food-grade oils for routine maintenance: When lubricating the mixer, use food-grade oils. Apply a small amount of oil to the planetary shaft after every cleaning. This will help prevent friction and ensure smooth operation.
3. Lubricate the bowl rails regularly: The bowl rails of the mixer should be lubricated at least once a month. This will help prevent wear and tear and ensure that the bowl moves smoothly during operation.
4. Clean the rotary extractors before use: If your mixer has rotary extractors, make sure to clean them before using them. This will help prevent contamination and ensure that your ingredients remain clean and safe.
5. Perform periodic maintenance: It is important to perform regular maintenance on your mixer to ensure its effectiveness and longevity. This may include cleaning and lubricating various parts, as well as checking for any signs of wear or damage.
By following these maintenance steps, you can ensure that your planetary mixer remains in good condition and continues to work effectively.
