The Hobart 00-275549 Aluminum Beater Paddle 12 B is a mixer attachment used with compatible 12-quart mixer bowls. It rotates through ingredients during mixing applications such as batters, fillings, mashed products, and blended mixtures. Manufactured from aluminum, the flat paddle design provides thorough ingredient movement throughout the mixing process. This attachment connects directly to the mixer agitator shaft and is commonly used in bakeries, restaurants, and commercial food preparation areas. Replacing a worn or damaged paddle returns normal mixing operation and ingredient blending functions.
