Headquartered in Robesonia, PA, Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) is the leading global manufacturer of state-of-the-art high-volume processing systems for the food manufacturing industry, emphasizing baked snack production systems.
To find out how we can help you improve your production process for fabricated potato chips, work with our team in the Reading Bakery Systems Science & Innovation Center. You will find a pilot version of all Exact mixers and our sheeted snack line that is configurable for creating and testing potato snacks, sheeted crackers, biscuits, and regular or rippled crisps from rice, wheat, multi-grain, corn masa flour, or other doughs.
Continuous Mixing
In commercial applications, producing large quantities of uniform, consistent dough often presents a number of challenges. The quality of your final products depends mainly on the mixing phase of your process. If not done correctly, it may be impossible to correct the dough later.
Consider Exact Mixing Continuous Mixers when you want to produce a more consistent dough than you can accomplish with batch mixing.
The FX Continuous Mixer, for example, is perfect for distributing moisture evenly into large amounts of powder, such as potato flakes used to make fabricated potato chips and other low moisture mixtures. This is accomplished with a specialized liquid injection system and a revolutionary mixer shaft design. The high-shear FX mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 1,250 kg/hour.
Dough Sheeting & Cutting
Thomas L. Green 2-Roll Sheeter: Our 2-Roll Sheeter creates a consistent dough sheet that is discharged directly onto the Rotary Cutter infeed conveyor. Stainless steel rolls are manufactured to precise concentricity tolerances to maintain consistent dough sheet formation.
Thomas L. Green Fabricated Chip Sheeter: This forming machine is capable of sheeting and cutting shapes from potato doughs consisting of dry premixes, potato flakes, whole grains, corn, and other formulations. The dough is delivered to a hopper above two large-diameter, solid core, water-cooled sheeting rolls. It is reduced in a single pass and sheeted to a typical thickness of 0.7mm (.027”). Cut shapes are delivered directly into an oven or fryer (not supplied by RBS) before seasoning and packaging.
Thomas L. Green Rotary Cutting Station: The die roll of the Rotary Cutter separates the dough sheet into distinct shapes. It can be designed with two or more die rolls to allow a more efficient changeover between product types or sizes.
Stackable Chip System
Reading Bakery Systems offers a modular Stackable Chip System to reliably and efficiently produce fabricated stackable fried chips. The system includes a specialized FX Continuous Mixing System, 2-Roll Sheeter, and Rotary Cutting Station and can produce between 500-1,000 kg/hour depending on the fryer capacity (not supplied by RBS).
