Food processor

Belongs to:
Kitchenware and household appliances
Description:

A kitchen machine is an electrically driven device for processing, e.g. kneading, stirring or pureeing, food. The alternating electric and magnetic fields at the fundamental frequency of 50 Hz resp. 60 Hz are caused by the motor rotating the beating whisks or the dough hook.

Frequency ranges:
  • 50–60 Hz
Type of field:
electric and magnetic
