What is Continuous Mixing?
Continuous Mixing is the process of continuously metering ingredients directly into the mixing chamber and as a result, generating a constant stream of dough at the exit of the mixer. The mixing may be done in stages to ensure all ingredients are properly incorporated. The process produces a consistent product all day, every day.
Other advantages of Continuous Mixing include:
- No undesirable variations in dough from batch-to-batch
- More precise delivery of raw materials to the mixer
- Equipment takes up less space
- Thanks to higher dough production rates of 2,000 or more pounds/hour, the cost is less than or equal to that of the batch mixer
- Produces a continuous stream of dough that can be sliced automatically into loaves by the mixer with no additional equipment required
- Better food safety; the dough is never exposed to the environment
- Automated operation reduces labor costs
Exact Mixing Continuous Mixer Models
Exact Continuous Mixers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. They are designed using Loss-in-Weight technology – the most accurate feeding technology available. And all metering and mixing procedures are monitored and initiated by the control system, so the operator can always confirm and modify as needed. Models include:
MX Continuous Mixer: The MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer and is suitable for a wide range of products including pizza, cookies, snacks, batters, icings, and pastes.
HDX Continuous Mixer: The HDX, or High Development, Continuous Mixer is well-suited to buns, breads, rolls, English muffins, tortillas, and other ultra-high-absorption products.
EX Continuous Mixer: The EX Continuous Mixer uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels and is ideal for gentle kneading of low-absorption doughs for cookies, crackers, pretzels and bagels, as well as high-absorption doughs for bread, buns and pizza.
