PSA - KitchenAid commercial mixer RPM info

Toast

I was looking for KitchenAid commercial mixer (8 qt one, not the artisan one) RPMs. Couldn't find anywhere, called KA, here's what I got below. Posting as PSA..

 

Stir - 60

Speed 2 - 95

Speed 4 - 135

Speed 6 - 180

Speed 8 - 225

Speed 10 - 280

 

Electronic speed control.  Your mileage may vary.  If it is a PMDC motor it is likely to be very close, if it is a triac driven AC motor it will be all over the place. In the first case it is a relatively expensive 3-phase motor that is driven the speed control.  In the second case it an series wound pulse width modulated AC motor, thus cheap with inherently inaccurate speed control.

 

Interesting. Will read up on this:) At some point - when kids go to college I guess! - I have a gyrometer thingy that I can try hooking up to the mixer:)
