Advanced baking solutions for pita chip production from Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) have helped companies throughout the industry enjoy unprecedented efficiency – which translates to an improved bottom line, of course. Regardless of the type of dough you use (corn masa, multi-grain, wheat, etc.), our equipment will help ensure reliable processing and faster time-to-market.
Our Multi-Crisp system, including the SPECTRUM OVEN®, Rotary Cutter and Exact FX Continuous Mixer have helped revolutionize the industry. The following is a closer look at each.
The RBS SPECTRUM OVEN®
The SPECTRUM OVEN® combines three different types of heat transfer options in one sleek design. By using conduction, radiation and convection heat, the SPECTRUM OVEN® is the perfect solution for baking not only pita chips, but also extruded pretzels, snack crisps and other types of snacks. Manufacturers of pet treats also turn to the SPECTRUM OVEN® on a regular basis.
Our SPECTRUM OVEN® features a convection baking platform that delivers consistent, reliable baking. Operators can troll not only the temperature of the air, but also the manner in which that air circulates. It also includes a moisture removal system to make your products more consistent and reliable. You can also combine a dryer zone or kiln if you want to increase the efficiency of your space, creating a two-pass chamber in the process.
Rotary Cutting Station
The Thomas L. Green Rotary Cutting Station from RBS is a perfect solution if you want to use a single sheet of dough to cut your pita chips into discrete shapes. It moves products through a die assembly that rotates. The chips travel on a durable, reliable conveyor system. If you need to ensure consistency and a thorough cut, the Rotary Cutting Station makes it easy for operators to change the pressure on the dough sheet.
RBS technology also reduces waste. The Rotary Cutting station removes leftover dough, re-routing it so that you can use it later.
If you want your chips cut into complex shapes, the Rotary Cutting Station makes it easier than ever before. We can design your station to include two die rolls that can be used simultaneously. If you have different products running on the same line, you can split the rolls and use them independently.
Exact FX Continuous Mixer
The RBS Exact FX Continuous Mixer constantly applies ingredients to provide a continuous supply of perfectly mixed product. Continuous mixing offers significant advantages for pita chip production.
First, it ensures consistent and uniform mixing of ingredients throughout the production process. In pita chip production, this is crucial for achieving a consistent texture, flavor, and appearance across all chips. Continuous mixing ensures that the dough is evenly mixed, resulting in a uniform distribution of flavors and ingredients, such as spices or herbs.
Second, continuous mixing improves production efficiency. It eliminates the need for batch-wise mixing, enabling a continuous flow of dough, which minimizes downtime associated with stopping and cleaning equipment between batches. This leads to increased throughput and productivity, allowing for higher production volumes in a shorter amount of time.
Continuous mixing also enables better control over the dough's parameters. Real-time monitoring and adjustments can be made to optimize mixing conditions, such as mixing time, speed, and temperature. This ensures that the dough is properly developed, leading to consistent chip texture and quality.
