Ok guys, I got a weird one here... but here goes:

VARIMIXER is a planetary mixer with a variable speed drive system. The mixer frame consists of a column with welded-on feet, and a top traverse closed by a stainless steel cover. The bowl is mounted in bowl arms, which manually are raised and locked simultaneously - or lowered and opened, respectively. The column contains the motor and the bowl arm mechanism. The top traverse contains the transmission system consisting of the moveable pulleys, the intermediate belt drive and the planetary head. Start and stop push buttons are mounted on a frontplate along with the contactor for protecting the motor against overload. A timer with HOLD feature is standard on the W80.

Construction:
• Mixer frame of extra heavy-gauge, welded, rolled steel plate. Silvergray hammertone powder coated finish. Top cover, coverplate system for the moveable bowl arms and planetary head cap in heavy-gauge stainless steel. Molded PVC feet pads. Bowls in stainless steel. Mixing tools in cast aluminum or stainless steel. Bayonet shaft in stainless steel. Variable speed V-belt transmission based on precision machined cast iron pulleys. Springloaded moveable pulleys in the variable speed drive for automatically adjusting of the tension of the special V-belt. Planetary mixer head of unique design. The planetary head revolves in heavy-duty ball and needle bearings around the main shaft. Precision milled beveled gear on the main shaft engages the bayonet shaft and the fixed internal gear ring through a double set of milled gears obtaining extra high torque capabilities of the mixing tools. Precision milled cast iron bowl arms lower and raise the bowl and clamp it in a precise position relative to the mixing tool allowing for small tolerances between tool extremities and the bowl. Attachment drive directly coupled to the motor securing maximum power output to the meat grinder or vegetable cutter.

The price for a new one without the attachments is: $23,392 from Varimixer’s website. Add the attachments and your looking at another 3-4k.

This is a USED one, and the price is going for just $6,900.

At that price, you could buy it and resell it to a baker you know and make a few grand!

I know nothing about these things, I just know it works, and it’s clean as a whistle. Stock pic available below, IM or email me for any specific pics or questions you have!
