Mixer Types We Repair & Service
Our engineers are trained and experienced across the complete range of commercial food and dough mixing equipment found in professional kitchens, bakeries, and food production environments.
Common Commercial Mixer Faults We Diagnose & Repair
Commercial food mixers and dough mixers operate under high mechanical stress. Recognising early warning signs is the first step to avoiding costly breakdowns. Below are the most common faults our engineers are called out to resolve.
Gearbox Failure & Excessive Noise
Grinding, rattling, or whining sounds from a commercial mixer are typically indicative of gearbox wear, damaged gears, or low lubrication. Left unaddressed, gearbox failure leads to complete seizure and significantly higher repair costs.
Worn or Snapped Drive Belts
Drive belts are subject to considerable stress in high-capacity mixers. Slipping, squealing, or complete loss of drive are common symptoms of belt degradation. Replacement before failure prevents further mechanical damage.
Motor Failure or Tripping
Motor burnout, overheating, and electrical faults that cause the machine to trip the supply are among the most serious mixer faults. Our engineers carry out full motor diagnostics and, where necessary, sourcing of replacement motors to manufacturer specification.
Bowl Lift Mechanism Failure
On larger planetary and bowl-lift mixers, mechanical or hydraulic lift failures prevent safe bowl engagement, rendering the machine inoperable. This is a common fault on older or heavily used equipment that requires prompt attention.
Agitator & Attachment Issues
Misaligned, damaged, or heavily worn dough hooks, whisks, and beaters affect mixing quality and can cause damage to the bowl or drive hub. Our engineers check alignment and condition as part of every service visit.
Control Board & Timer Faults
Faulty speed controls, unresponsive timers, and electronic control board failures are increasingly common on modern commercial mixers. Our engineers diagnose and resolve both mechanical and electronic faults across all mixer platforms.
Commercial Mixer Servicing & Planned Maintenance
A commercial mixer represents a significant capital investment. Treating it accordingly - through regular professional servicing - is the most cost-effective way to protect that investment, maintain food safety standards, and avoid unplanned downtime.
Our commercial catering equipment maintenance service includes scheduled inspections, lubrication of key mechanical components, belt and seal condition checks, electrical safety testing, and thorough service reporting. We tailor maintenance schedules to your equipment type, usage levels, and operational requirements.
Protect Warranty Validity
Manufacturer warranties typically require evidence of regular professional servicing. Failure to maintain a service record can invalidate your warranty and leave you fully liable for repair costs that would otherwise have been covered.
Reduce Running Costs & Energy Use
A poorly maintained mixer works harder than it needs to, consuming more electricity and wearing components faster. Properly lubricated, aligned, and adjusted equipment runs more efficiently and lasts significantly longer.
Meet Insurance & Compliance Requirements
Insurance policies for commercial kitchens often require electrical equipment to be PAT tested and mechanical equipment to be regularly inspected. Our service documentation provides the audit trail your insurer or environmental health officer may request.
Prevent Costly Emergency Breakdowns
The majority of commercial mixer failures are preceded by warning signs that a qualified engineer will identify during a routine service. Catching faults early avoids emergency callout costs, lost production time, and the potential need for full equipment replacement.

For emergency callouts, we can typically be on-site within 1-2 hours across London and the Home Counties. Our engineers carry a comprehensive stock of parts for the most common mixer makes and models, helping us resolve most faults in a single visit.
What types of commercial mixer do you repair?
We repair all types of commercial food and dough mixers, including planetary mixers, spiral dough mixers, bowl-lift mixers, fork mixers, and benchtop mixers from leading brands such as Hobart, Kenwood, Buffalo, Robot Coupe, Dito Sama, Bongard, and many others.
What are the most common faults on commercial dough mixers?
Common faults include gearbox failure or excessive noise, worn or snapped drive belts, motor burnout or tripping, bowl lift mechanism failure, damaged or misaligned agitator attachments, and control board or timer faults. Our engineers are experienced in diagnosing and resolving all of these issues.
Do you offer planned preventative maintenance contracts for commercial mixers?
Yes. We offer planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contracts that include scheduled inspections, lubrication, belt and seal checks, electrical safety testing, and service documentation. Regular servicing extends equipment lifespan, maintains hygiene compliance, and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
Will you use genuine parts for my mixer repair?
Where possible we use genuine manufacturer-approved parts. Our vehicles carry a wide range of commonly needed components for popular commercial mixer brands. Using the correct parts is important for equipment longevity, safety, and to avoid invalidating any remaining manufacturer warranty.
Is PAT testing included as part of a mixer service?
PAT testing can be arranged as part of a service visit or as a standalone inspection. Many insurance policies and food hygiene frameworks require electrical appliances to be regularly tested. We provide full documentation of all work carried out, including any electrical checks performed.
