Comparison of Batch and Continuous Mixing
- Bulk delivery of materials: The systems used to deliver bulk materials to the mixer are the same for batch and continuous mixing but the addition of raw materials to a Continuous Mixer is more accurate than with a batch mixer in nearly every case.
- Measuring of materials into the mixer: Manufacturers often need extra weighing equipment and controls to get the right-sized batches of ingredients to the batch mixer. With a continuous mixer, all metering is done directly at the mixer, leading to greater automation, better accuracy, and cost savings in the long term.
- Mixing: Continuous Mixing eliminates dough variations associated with batch cycles and produces a consistent product all day, every day. At the lowest production rates (500-1500 pounds per hour), batch mixing is slightly less expensive. Continuous Mixing, however, is less expensive at higher rates, and the savings grow as production rates increase.
- Dough leaves mixer in usable size loaves: Batch mixers create large “batches” of dough, and extra equipment is needed to resize them. This can cause time delays and unnecessary contamination from exposure to the environment. Continuous mixers produce a constant stream of dough that can be sliced automatically into loaves by the mixer.
