The service life of a small commercial mixer generally ranges from 3 to 10 years. Specifically, it depends on factors such as brand quality, usage frequency, maintenance conditions and usage circumstances.

Small commercial mixers of high-quality brands with good quality can be used for more than 5 years. They are made of high-quality materials and adopt advanced manufacturing techniques. Key components like motors, reducers, mixing shafts and paddles are of reliable quality, so they have a relatively long service life.

For example, a mixer made of high-quality stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Under the condition of normal use and maintenance, it is possible to use it for more than 5 years or even longer.

However, for some products with poor quality, the materials used may be inferior, the manufacturing process may be rough, and the parts are prone to damage. Their service life may be only about 3 years or even shorter.

If a small commercial mixer is used for long hours and at a high frequency every day, the wear rate of its parts will increase, and the aging of core components like motors will also accelerate, which will greatly shorten its service life. For instance, in some busy milk tea shops and dessert shops where the mixers work almost non-stop, they may need to be replaced in 3 to 5 years.

On the contrary, if it is only used occasionally, the wear of the mixer will be less, and its service life will be extended accordingly. It may be possible to use it for 8 to 10 years or even longer.

Maintenance conditions:

Regular maintenance of the mixer, such as cleaning, inspection and lubrication, can help discover and solve potential problems in time, reduce the occurrence of failures and extend the service life. For example, regularly cleaning the residual materials inside the mixer can prevent them from corroding the parts; checking the straightness and surface wear of the mixing shaft and timely correcting or replacing the bent or worn mixing shaft, etc.

If little attention is paid to maintenance, the mixer is prone to failures. If damaged parts are not replaced in time, it will further affect the normal operation of other components and lead to a shortened service life.

Usage environment:

If a small commercial mixer is used in harsh environments, such as those with high temperature, high humidity or excessive dust, it will have an adverse impact on its service life. For example, in a humid environment, the metal parts of the mixer are prone to rust and corrosion; in a dusty environment, dust is likely to enter components like motors and affect their normal operation.

If the usage environment is good, with appropriate temperature and humidity and less impurities like dust, the service life of the mixer will be relatively long.
