Explain the principle of operation of electrical mixer. |
|
Answer» A mixer is a kitchen utensil which uses a gear-driven mechanism to rotate a set of beaters in a bowl containing the food to be prepared. Operation: With a supply of power to the motor and the beaters inserted, an on/off switch is moved or pressed to the first position. The beaters begin to turn at the slowest speed. The switch is then moved to a higher speed or back into the off position. Older mixers controlled the speed through the use of a sensitive governor switch. The rapid rotation of the motor armature activates a thrust rod, which repeatedly opens and closes the switch contacts to maintain precise speed control." Modern mixers do this with a electronic circuit board instead. |
