The food service operator will also be able to save you labor during the cleaning process due to the smooth surfaces and the design of the Blakeslee mixer. Each beater, whip and attachment is engineered to perform specific jobs for you. The planetary action of Blakeslee Mixers (beater travels around the circumference of the bowl as it rotates) assures you of a perfectly blended mix every time.

DESIGN AND USE OF BEATERS, WHIPS & OTHER ACCESSORIES Each beater and whip has been designed to do a particular type of work. Use only that beater or whip for the work for which it was designed. For example: Never use a batter beater for mixing heavy doughs.

They are convenience Items, not capacity increasers. The best functioning of Blakeslee Mixers depends on leaving room for proper material aeration or manipulation. Use splash Covers or Extenders only for containing ingredients. They are efficient for their intended use, but if a Mixer is overloaded and a Splash Cover is used, aeration is reduced due to restriction in the area where air enters the mix.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Operators have their own pet ways of operating their mixing machines, so no attempt will be made to set up iron clad instructions, but there are certain general principles that should be followed in the various operations. These general principles as listed below should be helpful to old and new operators.

Always operate the mixer on slow speed while adding dry ingredients. Many operators use the Blakeslee-Built bowl extension ring to help confine ingredients to the mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients alternately with liquid, staring and ending with dry ingredients.

MIXING DOUGH Always use the spiral dough hook for mixing heavy doughs. Do not overload the mixer with too large batches. (See the capacity chart of this booklet for capacities of the various size bowls.) When using the spiral dough hook, the mixing should be started at low speed only with the bowl in the lowest position; then as the mixing continues, the bowl should be gradually raised to its working position.

ELECTRICAL "Start-Stop" Push buttons are used to operate the mixer which are protected by rubber caps. There is a thermal overload device with automatic resetting for protection, internally mounted. On all machines over 250 volts primary, a transformer is supplied to reduce, voltage to the pilot circuit. A timer is available as an option which would shut off the machine in any speed after pre-set time has expired.

36 Ibs. Max. Cap @45% AR Another factor often overlooked is the ability of your mixer to operate at a higher speed. For example, the DD-60 has a 60 pound capacity of heavy bread dough with an AR of 50% in second speed. The batch could be mixed in third speed but the batch must be reduced by half to 30 pounds.

Your Blakeslee mixer is designed and intended to mix your products in the most efficient way possible. There is no need for you to sacrifice individual characteristics when using your Blakeslee mixer. Care should be taken during your batch mixing.

In order for your mixer to perform at top efficiency at all times, it is necessary that you follow the recommendations as laid down by the designing engineers. Give your mixer the same attention you would give your automobile and your BLAKESLEE-BUILT Mixer will give you many years of satisfactory service. SPEED SELECTION Speed for the beater and auniliary attachments are varied by the use of a four speed transmission.
