Item #R-543
The Hobart 40-Quart Planetary Floor Mixer—spanning from the classic, heavy-duty D340 series to the modern Legacy+ HL400 series—is the absolute industry standard for medium-to-high volume commercial baking, pizzerias, and institutional foodservice prep.
When configuring or listing a unit complete with the bowl guard, stainless steel bowl, and 1 attachment, it indicates a highly focused production configuration geared toward high-capacity, single-type batching.
Core Performance & Mechanics
-
High-Torque 1.5 HP Motor & Gear Drive: Powered by a heavy-duty, 1.5-horsepower motor paired with a premium all-gear transmission. Unlike belt-driven models, Hobart's direct gear-to-gear alignment ensures continuous, non-slip torque when cutting through maximum-capacity bread or pizza dough batches.
-
Smart Controls (Legacy+ HL400 Series Features): Outfitted with Shift-On-The-Fly™ controls, allowing the operator to safely adjust mixing speeds while the motor is running. It also includes a 20-minute SmartTimer with automatic time recall to improve consistency across continuous shifts.
-
Ergonomic Swing-Out Bowl: Features a single-point bowl installation mechanism. Instead of lifting a heavy 40-quart bowl straight up and down over locking pins, the bowl swings completely out to the side for effortless ingredient loading and attachment changes.
-
Triple-Interlocked MagnaLock™ Guard: The heavy stainless steel wire bowl guard must be fully swung closed and locked in place for the motor to engage. If the guard is slid open mid-cycle, the electronic interlock triggers an immediate emergency stop.
-
Front Standard #12 Taper Hub: Tucked behind a front chrome cap, this integrated hub uses the mixer's core motor to run external kitchen prep tools, such as meat grinders, cheese shredders, or vegetable slicer heads
