Our 40 Year Old Hobart Dough Mixer Finally Broke

- How do you run a bakery with no mixer? This past week our dough mixer died on us going into our busiest time of the year. This dough mixer was first produced in 1982 and has been in our family for over 25 years. Our Grandfather bought it for our Teta to bake and she passed it down to us to make mana’eesh with. This week it broke heading into the weekend so we found ourselves scrambling for a solution and doing things the old fashioned way - kneading mass amounts of large dough batches by hand.

A machine shop can make those parts relatively cheap you should check and get the old girl a new life 👍
I recently bought a replacement part for my 44 years old Hobart Dishwasher, new old stock found on ebay. Authentic part made in 1986 still in the sealed pouch, was so happy.
Wow! What a story! You went from Hobart to Nobart then to Mo’bart! For the new machine I’m sure your loyal fans would provide a doughnation!
Baking up all the good hot cross puns today 😂! You know what they say takes dough to make dough
I can’t believe the place you got the new mixer didn’t help deliver it.
That machine can be made to run again and give you 50+ more years of service. Open it up, see what parts need replaced and have a machine shop make them for you. I'd say it has WAY too much history for your families business to just leave it in the corner sitting as a relic. Get it back in service and doing what it's been doing for your family for so long.. mixing!! It's worth it.
We just had our 50 year old Hobart / KA mixer break last week, and it’s the end of the road. Motor control board is burnt up and they no longer make the part. No problem, it was a great assistant in the kitchen and did yeoman service for half a century. Moving forward….
Wow wow wow! What a story, you guys have such deep history, I love how you remember the guys and gals that helped you along the way! Keep it up
There are parts everywhere for those machines. If you want I could put you in touch with a guy I do business with there in Maryland that could fix it.
If you want to get that beautiful old Hobart going again take your broken parts and any kind of blueprints you might be able to find on those parts showing dimensions to a machine shop and have them make you new ones.
Hello was the Hobart a 12 or 20 quart model, I have a working 12 quart and just may need some parts in the future.
I have the same mixer
Are you guys hiring?!!! I would love a job with you guys a dream come true love your products
what part of Maryland are you guys in interested in trying your food when I go there next

What is the new dough mixer model and brand? Is this spiral mixer better then dough hook planetary mixer?
Hi! Marra Forni Model No. IM44D. We definitely had a learning curve adjusting to the spiral mixer but we think it makes the dough better than ever before!
Damn, my Hobart N50 is year model 1983. I'm getting slightly concerned. :)
Doesn't sound like you need to be! We had a lot of people reach out and let us know that you can find a CNC parts shop to make the extra pieces if needed!
@@zandz Yea, I know bro. That's why I'm only slightly concerned :)
Have you been happy with your new dough mixer? Just curious.
@@msumungo Yes we are! It took us some time to adjust our recipe to work with the new machine but after that it's really improved our dough recipe. The Hobart can't be replaced by all means but we're very happy with the marra forni.
@@zandz Bro, Super happy to hear that.
It's sometimes a real pain to invest in a totally new piece of gear. Especially when working in a small time business like me and my family.
"will it work?" "will it be reliable?" "can we have more customer contracts?"
You certainly know what I'm talking about.
This is such a shame. I sold restaurant equipment in the late 90s. Hobart was the #1 selling mixer in the world. The #2 best selling mixer in the world was Used Hobart. The #3 mixer - I don't even remember the name - wasn't anywhere near being considered a true competitor for used Hobart.
The dealership I worked for had its own shop for rebuilding all Hobart mixers and the products they refurbished were far superior to those produced by the local Hobart store. Eventually Hobart changed their design to accomodate planned obsolescence. So sad.
Yes I would hang onto the mixer if possible. With 3D printing, someone will probably begin to offer parts unless Illinois Tool Works blocks them, which is likely.
Companies in India and China currently produce new parts for Singer sewing machines manufactured 70 to 90 years ago.
