LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 19, 2026--

AyrKing, a leading manufacturer of food preparation equipment for commercial kitchens, has launched the Mixstir SMB8G360, an 8-gallon commercial batter mixer and liquid stirrer engineered for high-volume foodservice operations.

Standard commercial blenders spin at high RPM, whipping air into batters and liquid seasoning mixes. This aeration compromises flavor and product consistency. The Mixstir addresses that problem with a deliberate, low-RPM drive and a patented wing-shaped blade with no sharp edges, keeping ingredients in constant, gentle motion without foaming.

The 8-gallon vessel blends large volumes of batter in 60 seconds. A factory-set timed cycle runs automatically, freeing kitchen staff for other tasks. A built-in dispensing faucet eliminates heavy lifting when pouring.

Key features of the Mixstir SMB8G360:

• Patented wing-shaped blade stirs thoroughly without introducing air bubbles or altering flavor profiles
• 60-second timed cycle blends batter automatically, saving labor and energy
• Built-in faucet simplifies pouring high-volume contents without heavy lifting
• All stainless-steel construction withstands daily commercial kitchen use and washdowns
• Three-part vessel requires minimal cleaning at end of service
• Quiet operation driven by a direct-drive, steel-geared motor

“Kitchens mixing large volumes of batter or liquid seasoning need consistency batch after batch,” said Jim Bell, president of AyrKing. “The Mixstir keeps those mixtures in constant, controlled motion without the aeration and inconsistency that high-speed blenders introduce. The result is better food and less labor spent hand-stirring.”

The 8-gallon model pairs well with AyrKing’s Breader Blender Sifter (BBS), ice bath carts and food prep carts to build integrated prep lines.

The SMB8G360 is available now. For more information, visit ayrking.com/food-prep-equipment/food-blenders-mixers/mixstir/.
