Mixing
Continuous mixing with the Exact EX Continuous Mixer helps to produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy, a major advantage over batch mixing. The mixer is well-suited to both soft/chewy and hard/crunchy pet treats.
Our continuous mixing process is ideal because the products are both well-mixed and heated to the proper kill temperature in the mixer. The dough can be quickly heated to the kill temperature within a range of 1 degree and then cooled. This is done automatically and without additional dough handling. Dough delivery can be automated with a mini-laytime conveyor and chunker or kibbler attachments.
Forming
Whether your pet treats are rotary moulded, extruded, sheeted, or in stick or nugget form, Reading Bakery Systems offers a solution designed and engineered to meet your requirements.
Rotary Moulded: The Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder produces high definition, three-dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. Engraved brass die rolls are interchangeable and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multiple shape production.
Extruded: The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables you to produce consistent and accurate structural, flat and filled extruded shapes and sticks. Fit the Extruder with different compression heads and dies to expand your product range.
Sheeted: The Thomas L. Green Sheeter creates a consistent dough sheet for sheeted pet treats, and Gauging Stations ensure accurate thickness prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed with the Rotary Cutting Station.
Sticks/Nuggets: The single-blade Reading Pretzel Guillotine Cutter uniformly cuts products before or after baking, allowing the operator to create a product size as short as one inch (25 mm) at the push of a button.
Baking and Drying
Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® customers benefit from a variety of heat transfer combinations in one modular design. The single-pass convection baking platform features operator-controlled air temperature, circulation speed, exhaust, and moisture removal for reliable, consistent baking of pet treats. Add an optional SPECTRUM Multi-Pass Dryer for faster oven speeds, greater production throughput, and more process control.
