FIMAR BL010 Blender for Professional Kitchens

A blender reduces, emulsifies and aerates ingredients by driving a high-speed blade through them. The motor spins the blade at thousands of revolutions per minute, creating a vortex that pulls food down onto the cutting edges. This rapid motion breaks down solids into fine particles, blends liquids into smooth mixtures, and incorporates air for lighter textures. The process relies on the sharpness of the blades and the speed of the motor, not on heat or pressure, so it preserves colour, flavour and nutrients while producing consistent results across batches.

To operate the BL010, place the Lexan cup onto the base and ensure it locks into position; the safety microswitch prevents the motor from starting unless the cup is correctly seated. Add ingredients up to the 2 L mark, then secure the lid with its cap closed. Use the speed regulator to select the desired intensity, or press the pulse button for short bursts of power. When blending is complete, lift the cup from the base, remove the lid, and pour or scrape out the contents. The cap on the lid allows additional ingredients to be added mid-cycle without stopping the motor.

The blender is built with a plastic casing that houses a 1.5 kW motor capable of 25000 RPM. A four-blade stainless steel knife assembly sits at the bottom of the Lexan cup, designed to handle both soft and semi-solid ingredients. The speed regulator provides variable control, while the pulse button offers momentary operation for precise texture adjustments.

The 220-240 V, 50-60 Hz voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, allowing the unit to be plugged into a typical kitchen supply without additional wiring. At 4.3 kg, the blender is light enough to move between worktops or storage cupboards but stable enough to remain in place during operation. Its footprint of 205 mm by 230 mm fits neatly on most worktops, leaving adjacent space for preparation or other appliances.

Cleaning involves removing the cup and lid, then washing them separately. The Lexan cup and plastic lid are dishwasher-safe, while the stainless steel blades should be hand-washed to maintain sharpness. The base should be wiped down with a damp cloth, ensuring no liquid enters the motor housing. The speed regulator and pulse button require no special maintenance beyond regular wiping to remove residue.

The BL010 is a countertop blender designed for general blending tasks in professional kitchens, positioned in the FIMAR catalogue under food preparation equipment.
