Franke Kitchen Taps and Mixers

Franke is a Swiss company, and its South African site describes the business as rooted in Swiss craftsmanship. Here it is best known for kitchen sinks, and the mixers on this page are made to sit alongside them. This is a working selection rather than a full catalogue: single lever sink mixers in stainless steel, chrome and black, covering swivel spouts, taller professional shapes and a project grade option.

The ranges stocked here

Saturn accounts for the largest share, with the Saturn Professional, Saturn Arc Swivel and Saturn Cube Swivel all in stainless steel. Arc and Cube differ mainly in spout geometry, curved against squared, so the choice comes down to matching the lines of your sink and cupboard handles. Lina Semi-Pro is listed in chrome with black and chrome with grey, Active Plus 2.0 is a black mixer, and the Highrise Swivel, Projectline single lever and Pescara 360 mixers complete the set.

Franke states on its South African site that its stainless steel consists of 70% recycled material. That applies to the steel bodies rather than to plated or coated finishes, so a solid steel mixer is a different proposition to a chrome or black one. In hard water areas steel shows water marks more readily than it shows wear.

Spout height and reach

The practical decision is usually height rather than finish. A high rise or professional spout gives clearance to fill a stockpot or rinse a baking tray, which matters with a deep single bowl. A lower swivel spout suits a shallower drop-in, or a double bowl where you move between two sides rather than filling anything tall. Measure the clearance above the tap hole first, particularly if there is a window sill or wall unit behind the sink.

Zip units listed on this page

Two entries here are not conventional mixers. The G5 BCS60 M Command Centre with HydroTap Classic Plus BCS in matt black is a boiling and chilled water system, and the raised font kit is an accessory for one. The full range sits on Franke boiling water taps and Franke Zip HydroTap. For the sinks these mixers pair with see Franke kitchen sinks, tap braces are on Franke plumbing, and the brand sits under Franke.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Franke kitchen mixer suits a deep single bowl sink?
Look at spout height first. The high rise and professional shapes, such as the Saturn Professional, Pescara 360 and the Highrise Swivel, give more clearance under the spout, which is what you need for filling stockpots and rinsing oven trays in a deep bowl. Lower swivel mixers work better over shallower drop-in sinks. Measure the space between the tap hole and anything above it before ordering.
What is the difference between the Saturn Arc and the Saturn Cube mixer?
Both are swivel sink mixers in stainless steel and the difference is the shape. The Arc uses a curved spout profile and the Cube uses a squared one. Function is the same, so pick whichever matches the geometry of your sink, cupboard handles and any other steel in the kitchen. If your sink has soft radius corners the Arc tends to read better, and a squared bowl suits the Cube.
Are Franke kitchen mixers available in black?
Yes. The Active Plus 2.0 is listed as a black kitchen mixer, and the Lina Semi-Pro is stocked in a chrome and black combination. The stainless steel models in the Saturn range are steel rather than black. Note that black on a mixer is an applied finish rather than the material of the body itself, so treat it as you would any coated tap and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Do I need a tap brace with a Franke kitchen mixer?
It depends on the sink and the counter. A tap brace stabilises a mixer where the mounting surface is thin or the tap hole is larger than the tap shank. Franke makes one for kitchen mixers and we list it under plumbing. Rather than assume, check the fitting instructions supplied with your specific mixer, because the mounting hardware included varies between ranges.
Why are Zip HydroTap products showing on the kitchen mixers page?
Two products in our catalogue are categorised as kitchen mixers but are actually Zip boiling water equipment: a G5 BCS60 M Command Centre with a HydroTap Classic Plus BCS in matt black, and a raised font kit accessory. They appear here because of how they are typed in our system. The full boiling and chilled water range is on the Franke boiling water taps and Zip HydroTap pages.
