Baked Multi-Crisp Snacks
Baked non-traditional snacks, like multi-crisp crackers and other snacks, have become very popular in the better-for-you category as consumers demand more snacks made with non-traditional gluten-free flours, rice flours, and ancient grains.
The complete Multi-Crisp Baked Snack System enables you to produce a variety of wheat, potato and corn masa flour crisps on one flexible system. The system can produce between 250-1000 kg/hr of finished product, depending on the number of oven sections after the dough sheeting equipment.
Dough hydration can be a challenge when using gluten-free and other non-traditional flours, and RBS’ cutting-edge Hydrobond Technology improves the efficiency of your mixing process. It instantly blends dry and wet ingredients with unmatched efficiency and without adding heat to your dough.
The dough is mixed on a particle-to-particle basis, based on the principle that mixing smaller amounts of liquid and dry ingredients together at one time is more efficient and results in more uniformly hydrated dough.
Hydrobond Technology can be used with a Continuous Mixer or with a pre-hydration system to mix flour, minors and water directly into a brew holding tank. It can also be retrofitted to existing systems.

RBS has expanded our Science & Innovation Center’s equipment testing capabilities by offering new Virtual Trials that provide remote access to product development, equipment testing and demonstration, and production of samples. The benefits of these virtual offerings include no travel costs, and reduced coordination and time commitments.
