Univex SRM30+ 30 Qt Planetary Mixer, Floor Model, 1 HP, 115V

The Univex SRM30+ is a 30-quart planetary mixer standing on its own base, turned by a 1 hp capacitor-start motor. It is the smallest Univex planetary that arrives fully equipped — bowl, dough hook, batter beater, wire whip, ingredient chute, bowl scraper and a 15-minute timer are all standard, not accessories — and it is the largest that will still run from a 115 V single-phase supply.

The last mixer on a 115 V circuit

This is the practical dividing line in the Univex range, and it is worth understanding before the electrician is called. The SRM30+ runs on 115 V single phase at 14.4 amps, which an ordinary 20-amp circuit will carry. Univex also builds it for 208–240 V in single or three phase, and for 460 V three phase at 2.1 amps. Above 40 quarts, the 115 V option disappears entirely.

So a site without three-phase service, or without the appetite to run it to a new position, can have a 30-quart floor mixer and not an inch more. That constraint decides more purchases than any feature on the sheet.

Four speeds from 110 to 488 rpm

Univex marks the beater shaft at 110, 245, 423 and 488 rpm, through hardened alloy gearing and torque-sensing variable-speed pulleys. The marked positions are reference points, not stops: the drive holds any speed across the range and the speed changes while the machine runs.

That 110 rpm bottom end is the number that matters for bread. A stiff dough wants to be folded slowly while the flour takes up water, and a mixer whose slowest setting is too fast will tear the gluten it is trying to build. The 488 rpm top end then takes the same machine to whipping work, and the #12 power take-off runs its own four speeds — 64, 143, 248 and 295 rpm — for the grinder and vegetable attachments.

Why Operators Choose It

• Fully equipped as standard. Bowl, dough hook, batter beater, wire whip, ingredient chute, bowl scraper and a 15-minute timer, all included.
• Runs on 115 V. 14.4 A single phase, with 208–240 V and 460 V builds available — the largest Univex planetary that offers a 115 V option.
• 110 rpm at the bottom. Slow enough to develop a stiff dough properly, with 488 rpm available at the top.
• Speed changes under load. Variable-speed pulleys through hardened alloy gearing, adjustable while mixing.
• #12 power take-off. Drives the ALMFC12 grinder, the VS9 slicer and the VS9H shredder at 64 to 295 rpm.
• Protected three ways. Guard-open and bowl-lowered interlocks plus low voltage protection against a restart after a power cut.
• Two-year on-site warranty. Univex’s published term for its planetary mixers.

Controls

Momentary-contact start and stop through a contactor, a 15-minute timer as standard equipment, and an ergonomic hand-operated bowl crank that self-locks at the top and bottom of its travel. Univex specifies a crank on this model: the powered bowl lift belongs to the larger machines.

Ideal For

Retail bakeries, pizzerias mixing their own dough, restaurant and hotel kitchens, pastry sections, schools and care kitchens, and any site that needs a floor mixer but cannot supply three-phase power to it.

Specifications

Dough capacity

Univex publishes no dough-capacity figure for this model on its specification sheet. A capacity chart does exist in the company’s brochure and in the operator manuals, with conditions attached — flour moisture, water temperature, absorption ratio and in some cases a speed restriction — but the tables do not extract cleanly enough for us to be certain which figure belongs to which model. We would rather tell you that than print a pounds-of-dough number that might be the next model’s. Tell us the dough and we will get the figure confirmed by Univex before you order.

Certification

Be precise about this one, because it is easy to overstate. Univex’s NSF wording attaches to the finish: the sheet describes a durable NSF-approved hybrid epoxy / polyester powder coat. It is not a statement that the machine is NSF listed, and Univex publishes no cETLus, UL or ETL mark for any SRM planetary mixer. The "CSA and UL approved" note in the operator manuals refers to the wire insulation in the harness, not to a listing of the mixer. We have quoted the finish claim and left the rest alone.

Two things Univex’s own documents disagree about

Its product page for this mixer describes a power bowl lift, while both the specification sheet and the operator manual specify the hand crank quoted above. The page text appears to be shared with the larger models. We have published the sheet and the manual, which agree with each other.

Second, the shipping weight: Univex prints 400 lbs. with a metric value of 149.7 kg beside the net figure and 176.9 kg beside the shipping one, and 400 lbs. is 181.4 kg. The pound figures are the ones we publish; the metric conversions on these sheets are not reliable.

Warranty

Two years, on-site parts and labor. Univex states the term in each model’s operator manual — the mixer "carries a two-Year, on-site, parts and labor warranty against any defects in materials or workmanship" — and in its Planetary Mixer Selection Guide, which applies it to every planetary mixer the company builds. Warranty work is scheduled 8:00 am to 5:00 pm local time, Monday to Friday, and claims go to the Univex Warranty Service Department before any repair. Overloading the mixer beyond the published capacity voids it.
