Kitchen Mixer - Industrial ceiling mixer

Kitchen Mixer

Industrial ceiling mixer designed for smaller commercial kitchens.

This project was made on my 3rd semester at KADK. The overall subject was the commercial kitchen. I chose to work with the smaller commercial kitchens to investigate their use of machinery.

During field studies I visited the Copenhagen University Hospital, nursing homes, schools, and daycares. I found that smaller kitchens often had a mix between industrial equipment and normal kitchen supplies — industrial equipment that took up too much space or was meant to produce larger portions than needed.

Research and analysis

The new machine should not take any table space when in use. I visited the Bjørn Varimixer factory and learned about materials, hygiene, and safety considerations.

The final design is a ceiling-mounted mixer concept that frees up valuable counter space while maintaining the functionality required for smaller commercial kitchen operations.
