Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Café in Bristol needed an upgrade. Their existing blender was incredibly noisy, forcing staff to shout over it, and it often left chunks in their popular green smoothies, leading to customer complaints and remakes.
"The Santos 66 has completely changed our workflow. It’s so quiet we can actually have a conversation while it’s running, and the smoothies are perfectly smooth every single time. Our morning rush is far less stressful now."
Ben Carter – Owner, The Garden Café
Since installing the Santos 66, the café has eliminated drink remakes and has seen a 25% increase in blended drink sales due to faster, quieter service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Position the blender on a stable, level surface with enough space for ventilation around the motor base.
- If you plan to use the in-counter option, ensure the cutout dimensions are precise as per the manual.
- Before first use, wash the jug, lid, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water.
- Familiarise your team with the 9 pre-set programmes to ensure consistent drink making from day one.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, rinse the jug immediately to prevent ingredients from drying on.
- For a quick clean, half-fill the jug with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid, then run on a low setting for 30 seconds.
- Never immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it down with a damp cloth only.
- Regularly check the coupling on the base and jug for any signs of wear to ensure a secure connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Santos 66 really crush ice cubes effectively?
A: Absolutely. Its ultra-sharp blade and powerful 1kW motor are specifically designed to crush ice cubes and hard frozen fruit into a smooth consistency in seconds.
Q: Just how quiet is the 'Quiet Blending Technology'?
A: Thanks to the brushless motor and the sound enclosure, it's one of the quietest commercial blenders available. It produces a low hum rather than a high-pitched roar, making it ideal for use in customer-facing areas.
Q: What are the 9 optimised programs for?
A: These are pre-set cycles with varying speeds and times, designed to create the perfect texture for popular drinks like smoothies, frappes, cocktails, and more, ensuring consistency with one touch.
Q: Can this blender handle hot liquids like soup?
A: Yes, it's designed as a versatile commercial machine. You can use it to blend hot liquids for soups and sauces, but always ensure the lid is securely fastened and avoid filling it to the very top to allow for steam expansion.
Q: What is the main benefit of the two-way blade rotation?
A: By spinning in both directions, the blade can catch and blend any ingredients that might get stuck. This leads to a faster, more efficient blend and a smoother final product without needing to stop and stir.
Q: Is the blender jug dishwasher safe?
A: It's always best practice to wash blender jugs by hand to prolong the life of the blade assembly and seals. A quick rinse and a 'self-clean' cycle with soapy water is usually sufficient for daily cleaning.
Q: Can I fit this blender under a standard counter?
A: With a height of 393mm, it's compact enough to fit in most bar and kitchen setups. It also has an 'in-counter' option for a seamless, built-in look.
Q: What makes a brushless motor better than a standard one?
A: A brushless motor is more efficient, significantly quieter, and has a much longer operational life because it has fewer moving parts that can wear out, leading to less maintenance over time.
The Santos Legacy: Engineered for Endurance
Choosing a Santos blender is about more than just its technical prowess; it's an investment in peace of mind. For over 65 years, Santos has built a reputation in professional kitchens and bars across the world for manufacturing equipment that is not only powerful but relentlessly durable. The Santos 66 is a direct reflection of this legacy. Its robust all-metal coupling and advanced brushless motor are not just features—they are a promise of reduced downtime and lower lifetime maintenance costs. This focus on longevity means you can rely on it to perform consistently during your busiest hours, delivering the same quality product to your customers time and time again. In a busy commercial environment, that level of reliability isn't a luxury; it's fundamental to your success.
Explore more from SantosThe Power of Silence: Why a Brushless Motor Matters
Ever wondered what makes a 'brushless motor' so special? Think of it like the difference between old and new power tool technology. Traditional motors use physical 'brushes' to transfer power, which creates friction, heat, and noise. Over time, these brushes wear down and need replacing. A brushless motor, however, uses magnets and electronics to do the same job without physical contact. For the Santos 66 commercial blender, this means three huge benefits for your business: it runs dramatically quieter, it's more energy-efficient, and because there are fewer parts wearing out, it has a much longer, more reliable lifespan with less maintenance. It's the secret sauce behind its powerful yet peaceful performance.
