A 120-liter prototype unit similar to the mixer eventually purchased was brought in to do trial runs. Bill Ashton, vice president of production says. We could tell the concept was very good from that trial, but that unit was an inconvenient size for us. It wouldn't have helped us any with the size of batches we run.

Chocolate cake takes just half the time for a similarly large batch.
It saves a lot of labor. The elimination of scraping is accomplished through the inclusion of a scraping tool in addition the two mixing tools which the machine can employ. We can't run our older units this fast because it will splash all over. This is the best concept I've seen if you can't go to continuous mix. It's the biggest improvement in mixing technique that's come along.
