Mauna Kea Baking – Chris Miura

Kemper recently sold a new SP 75 II mixer to Mauna Kea Baking in Honolulu, HI.

Chris Miura, President, called me in September looking for a spiral mixer that could do both small and large capacity mixing. Chris explained how he had used Kemper mixers in the past and had great success with them. He also told me how the Kemper Mixers are a “standard mixer” in Hawaii and come highly recommended as a “high quality”, “reliable” mixer from other bakers in the area and even in many of the baking courses he had taken. Chris also chose to purchase a Kemper Mixer because he liked knowing Kemper had service and parts in the United States. He said many of the other popular brands do not have that capability, which makes it very difficult should any questions arise.

Knowing the type of production that Chris needed, I recommended to him the SP 75 II Fixed Bowl Mixer. Chris explained the capacity the SP 75 II allowed was “exactly what was needed”. It allowed them to do smaller capacity batches as needed, while still having the ability of doing larger batches. One of the biggest benefits Chris has been “pleasantly surprised” with, is the mixing times. He explained their mixing times have “dramatically decreased”. The batches are mixed much “more gently in less amount of time” creating a higher quality end product and increasing productivity. With the time saved, his baker is has more time to work on other projects.

Chris is very happy with his new mixer and the products that are coming from it. “I would choose Kemper again because of the excellent service we received despite being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.”
