Hobart announces winner of custom-designed mixer at Pizza Expo

Troy, Ohio — Hobart has announced Deborah St. Clair from Carota’s Pizza in Augusta, Ky., as the winner of its annual custom-designed mixer giveaway held at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas in March.

St. Clair, owner of Carota’s Pizza, won a Hobart Legacy+ HL662 pizza dough mixer valued at $35,000 that featured a martial art “DoughJo” design, complete with dragons and pizza slices.

The Legacy+ HL662 mixer features the Hobart-exclusive VFDadvantage that provides high torque, low RPM speed for mixing continuous batches of pizza dough. Hobart’s Shift-on-the-Fly allows operators to gain productivity by making speed changes while the mixer is in operation, while a soft start technology gradually ramps up mixing to reduce ingredient splash-out and protect the motor.
