The Blixer: Revolutionizing Food Processing in Commercial Kitchens

Written by Pace Reps | Jun 27, 2024 9:03:00 PM

Since the introduction of the first commercial bowl-type food processors by Robot-Coupe nearly half a century ago, these machines have become indispensable in commercial kitchens worldwide. 

From processing pureed diets in healthcare to blending sauces, chopping nuts, and making breadcrumbs, bowl food processors are integral to efficient kitchen operations.

The Next Generation of Food Processing

A relatively newer innovation, the Robot-Coupe Blixer, builds on the legacy of the bowl-type food processor with unique, patented features that set it apart. Available in sizes ranging from a 2.9-liter countertop unit to a 60-liter floor model, the Blixer offers unparalleled food processing capabilities.

What Makes the Blixer Unique?

The Blixer stands out due to its advanced design and features:

  • 3600 RPM Motor Speed: This high-speed motor creates a greater impact on food, compared to the typical 1500 to 1750 RPM speeds in standard food processors.
  • Fine Serrated ‘S’ Blade with Inverted Blades: These blades provide aggressive processing, creating a cutting vortex that ensures thorough homogenization.
  • Flat Blade Shape: This design results in a higher blunt impact on food, enhancing the processing effect.
  • Scraper Arm: This feature continuously folds food back into the cutter blades, ensuring more thorough processing.

These innovative features enable the Blixer to achieve a smooth and homogenized result that standard food processors cannot match. In just seconds, the Blixer can process food to a level of consistency that would take traditional food processors much longer to achieve.

 

 

The Blixer in Healthcare Settings

The healthcare industry greatly benefits from the Blixer's ability to produce incredibly smooth and homogenized textures. Foods like beans, corn, pineapple, and coleslaw, which are challenging to process thoroughly, can be prepared safely for pureed or liquefied diets without compromising quality or nutrient density. The Blixer minimizes or eliminates the need for additional liquids, ensuring both patient safety and nutritional integrity.

Specialized Applications of the Blixer

Beyond healthcare, the Blixer excels in various specific food processing tasks:

  • Hummus: The Blixer effortlessly processes chickpeas to a velvety smooth consistency, blending tahini, garlic, olive oil, and seasonings evenly.
  • Nut Butters: Creating smooth, homogenous nut butters from roasted peanuts, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, cashews, or almonds is easy with the Blixer.
  • Nut Milks: Pre-soaked almonds can be processed into delicious almond milk, a popular lactose-free alternative.
  • Acai Bowls: The Blixer achieves the smooth texture expected in these sweet frozen treats, outperforming standard blenders and food processors.
  • Ground Spices & Spice Blends: The Blixer’s fine serrated flat blade and high motor RPMs produce finely ground spices and spice blends quickly and efficiently.
