Running a heavy duty food mixer with adapter

ttarrant4 · Apr 24, 2020

I need to buy a larger mixer for my small bakery, but I only have standard wall outlets and an oven outlet (pictured); the mixer has a NEMA 6-20 plug. Can I safely run a mixer with the ratings indicated in the attached spec sheet using an adapter to either the normal wall outlet or the oven outlet? If I can, are there any other factors to be considered? I know next to nothing about this kind of stuff. Thanks! (Oven outlet says 125/250V and 50A)

My advice to you is I don’t really have enough information to really help. What HP is your new mixer and Is the mixer dual voltage ?

Is there no way to delete or even edit a post? The rep I was speaking to about this mixer was wrong about the type of plug it used; it's just a standard wall plug so my question doesn't need to be up anymore.
