Overview

Anvil PMA1040 40 Quart Planetary Mixer

The Anvil PMA1040 is a heavy-duty 40 quart planetary mixer built to meet the demands of commercial bakeries, cafes, restaurants and busy catering operations. Driven by a 1.5HP air-cooled motor paired with a direct-drive, 100% gear-driven transmission, it delivers consistent, thorough mixing across three fixed speeds, handling everything from light batters and whipped creams through to stiff bread and roll doughs.

Long-term reliability is engineered into every component, with heat-treated alloy steel gears and shafts alongside grease-packed ball bearings keeping the gearbox running smoothly with minimal maintenance. Three standard attachments are included straight out of the box, and an optional 20 quart accessory set allows operators to mix smaller batches in the same machine, maximising versatility across a wide range of recipes.

Key Benefits

• Three fixed speeds with straightforward speed shifting let operators quickly match mixing intensity to the task at hand, from gentle folding through to high-speed whipping.
• The 1.5HP air-cooled motor and fully gear-driven direct-drive transmission work together to sustain power output during heavy loads without overheating.
• Heat-treated alloy steel gears and shafts provide exceptional durability under continuous commercial use, reducing the risk of costly transmission wear.
• Grease-packed ball bearings ensure smooth, quiet operation and minimise routine maintenance requirements.
• A stainless steel safety guard fitted with a micro-switch prevents the mixer from operating when the guard is open, protecting staff during attachment changes and bowl removal.
• Printed batch capacity references for common preparations are included, covering mashed potato (up to 13kg), waffle and pancake batter (up to 16L), pound cake (up to 20kg) and bread or roll dough (up to 10kg), helping kitchen teams plan production and maximise each run.
• Optional 20 quart bowl and attachment accessories comprising a bowl, whisk, hook and beater allow smaller batches to be prepared in the same machine, reducing the need for a second mixer.
• Backed by Anvil's Double Gold Star 2-year parts and labour warranty for added peace of mind in a commercial environment.
