• What Are the Benefits of a Die-Cast Stand Mixer vs. Plastic One? May 09, 2025
    When purchasing a stand mixer, many users tend to pay more attention to power, capacity and brand, but ignore a key issue - the body material. Die-cast stand mixers and plastic stand mixers have obvious differences in appearance, structure and user experience, which directly affect the durability and stability of the equipment.   As a professional stand mixer manufacturer, we are well aware of the performance differences caused by different materials. This article will comprehensively compare the advantages of the two materials in terms of structural stability, service life, appearance texture, etc., to help you make a more informed choice.   1. Structural strength and durability The die-cast stand mixer adopts an integrated die-casting process, with a sturdy body and strong pressure resistance. It can withstand long-term, high-intensity mixing work without deformation. This type of stand mixer is particularly suitable for processing high-load ingredients such as dough, and has extremely high structural stability. In contrast, although the plastic stand mixer is light in weight and more affordable, it is prone to aging and cracking after long-term use. Especially under high-intensity work, its durability is obviously not as good as that of the die-cast model. For users who pursue long-term service life and reliability, die-cast stand mixers are better.     2. Stability during operation The die-cast metal body is heavy and has a low center of gravity. It can effectively reduce vibration and prevent the machine from shaking during use. It is particularly suitable for high-load conditions such as high-speed mixing or dough kneading. The plastic body is light overall and is prone to shaking or offset during operation, which not only affects the operating experience, but may even pose a safety hazard. Users who pay attention to operational stability and safety should give priority to die-cast models.   3. Appearance texture and sense of grade The surface of the Die-casting Stand Mixer is usually treated with processes such as spraying and electroplating. It has a delicate appearance and high-grade texture, which can add a professional temperament to the kitchen and is deeply loved by high-end users. Although the plastic stand mixer has rich colors, its texture is relatively ordinary, and its touch and appearance are not as good as metal materials. Users who value the beauty and grade of the kitchen are more inclined to choose Die-casting Stand Mixers. 4. Heat dissipation performance and service life The die-cast metal body material has good thermal conductivity and can quickly release the heat of the motor during operation, protect the motor from overheating, and extend the service life of the machine. The heat dissipation capacity of the plastic material is poor. After high-intensity use, it may cause the internal temperature to rise, affecting the stability of the components and the life of the motor. From the perspective of equipment durability, die-cast models have more advantages.   5. Balance between price and value It is undeniable that die-cast kitchen machines have higher manufacturing costs and selling prices than plastic models. But this investment is exchanged for a longer service life, better mixing effect and more stable operation experience. For users who often use kitchen machines, this is a worthwhile long-term investment. Plastic machines are suitable for light home use; die-cast kitchen machine are suitable for users who frequently bake, have a large workload in the kitchen or commercial scenarios.   Whether in terms of structural strength, operating stability, appearance texture, heat dissipation performance and service life, Die-casting Stand Mixer have shown obvious advantages. Especially for professional users, high-frequency users or families who pay attention to quality, Die-casting models are undoubtedly a more trustworthy choice.   If you are looking for a kitchen machine that combines performance, quality and design, welcome to visit the official website of Sanlida.

  • What are the common functions of a stand mixer? Apr 11, 2025
    In modern kitchens, stand mixer is not only a tool for professional bakers, but also an important assistant for daily cooking. As a professional stand mixer manufacturer, we found that when people choose and use stand mixer, the most important thing they care about is whether its functions are complete and practical. So, what are the common functions of stand mixer? This article will give you a comprehensive analysis.   1. Multi-speed adjustment to meet different mixing needs Different ingredients and production needs have different requirements for mixing speed. Multifunctional Stand Mixer is usually equipped with 6 to 10 speed adjustment functions, which can easily handle everything from low-speed mixing of powder and cream, to medium-speed mixing of egg liquid, to high-speed whipping of egg whites. Not only does it improve efficiency, but it can also avoid excessive mixing that leads to taste failure.     2. Dough kneading function, freeing your hands Many users buy stand mixers, and the most important thing they value is the dough kneading function. Traditional manual dough kneading is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to be even. The Stand mixer uses a planetary mixing system to imitate the kneading action of hand-made dough, which makes the mixing more even and the dough more elastic, making it very suitable for making bread, pizza, dumpling skins and other pastries.   3. Whipping function, making cakes and desserts more delicate If you want to make soft chiffon cakes or cream mousse that melts in your mouth, you can't do without the precise whipping process. The stand mixer egg-beating function can achieve stable high-speed rotation. With a professional egg-beating head, it can quickly beat egg whites or cream, making the bubbles more delicate, and the finished product more fluffy and taste better.   4. Stirring and mixing, making it easy to make a variety of dishes In addition to baking, the stand mixer is also suitable for making daily dishes such as mashed potatoes, salad dressings, dumpling fillings, and meat fillings. Just replace different mixing accessories to complete a variety of tasks from gentle mixing to uniform mixing, especially suitable for busy home users and small catering kitchens. Sanlida's stand mixers have optional accessories such as stainless steel dough hooks, metal head mixers, stainless steel egg beaters, and elastic edge egg beaters.   5. Multiple accessories for more comprehensive functions Today's stand mixer is increasingly focusing on multi-functional expansion. Many models support the installation of accessories such as meat grinders, pasta machines, and vegetable cutters, which can be used for multiple purposes and greatly improve the usage scenarios. For example, the optional stand mixer meat grinder accessories can meet the needs of homemade sausages, hamburger patties, etc., which is both healthy and cost-effective.   A high-performance stand mixer is not only an ideal companion for baking enthusiasts, but also an indispensable smart assistant in the daily family kitchen. From stirring, beating eggs, and kneading noodles to the multi-functional use of accessories, it has far exceeded the scope of traditional mixers. Choosing a reliable stand mixer not only improves cooking efficiency, but also adds more fun to kitchen life.   As a professional stand mixer manufacturer, Sanlida always adheres to starting from user needs, continuously optimizing product performance and functional design, and is committed to bringing smarter, more convenient and efficient kitchen solutions to global users.
