What are the different types of blades used in commercial blenders?
Blender blades are designed to chop, mix, liquefy, and puree ingredients. They range in size, design, and speed.
Chopping and Mincer Blades
These blades are great for blending nuts and grater ingredients. They have single-serrated edges and a larger surface area for chopping.
Ice Crushing Blades
This blade is usually a sharper blade, which is ideal for crushing large chunks of ice and creating frozen drinks.
Whipping Blades
These are a little bit different than the other two as they incorporate air to create light and fluffy textures, especially in foams, textured emulsions and specialty fruit drinks that focus on aromas.
Wave Blades
Finally, wave blade blenders are perfect for blending foods with a gentle wave-like motion to create a thick and creamy texture to the food.
They are great for blending soups and sauces as well as a variety of other products. Some also feature a tamper for blending thicker items. This tool can help eliminate cavitation and ensure complete processing of all chanks.
