Hamilton Beach IMH0457 BigRig Immersion Blender 457mm

The Hamilton Beach IMH0457 is a BigRig immersion blender with a 457 mm sealed, removable stainless shaft, rated for pots up to 121 litres. Blade speed is variable from 3,000 to 15,000 rpm, and it ships with a power base and a wall-mount hanger.

Why operators choose the IMH0457

• Shaft length sets the pot size - 457 mm, up to 121 L — this is the whole basis for choosing between the four BigRig models. A shaft that is too short cannot reach the bottom of the pot safely, and one that is too long is unwieldy over a small one.
• Sealed and removable stainless shaft — sealed keeps product out of the drive; removable means the shaft goes to the sink while the motor unit stays dry. Both are what make a stick blender survive a commercial wash-up.
• 3,000 to 15,000 rpm on a variable dial — a five-fold speed range in one tool. Low for folding and emulsifying without splashing, high for breaking down fibre in a soup.
• Blade guard fitted — the guard is what lets the blade work against the base of a pot without scoring it, and keeps the blade away from the operator.
• Wall-mount hanger supplied — a stick blender left on a bench gets knocked into a sink. The hanger comes in the box.
• Whisk attachment available — the shaft is interchangeable and a whisk is offered as an optional accessory, so the same power base does two jobs.
• Four lengths in the range — the IMH0355 (355 mm, 53 L), IMH0406 (406 mm, 87 L), IMH0533 (533 mm, 158 L) cover the other pot sizes on the same power base.

Specifications

Venue suitability

Suits production kitchens, soup and sauce sections, aged care and hospital catering - anywhere stock is blended in the pot it was cooked in rather than moved to a blender. Choose the model by the pot, not by the price.

Installation & delivery

No installation - it runs from a standard 10 amp outlet. Fit the supplied wall hanger near the stove section so the unit is stored off the bench. The shaft detaches for washing; the power base must not be immersed. Delivered Australia-wide.
