Innovative Continuous Mixing Solutions
Batch mixing can lead to dough variations that affect the consistency of your finished products.Continuous mixing has grown in popularity for its ability to continuously produce a more consistent dough.
The advantages of continuous mixing include:
- More precise delivery of raw materials to the mixer
- Improved consistency of weight, size and texture
- Elimination of dough troughs
- Recipe control and repeatability
- Completely automated process
Exact Continuous Mixers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. Models include the Exact MX Continuous Mixer, our most versatile mixer, which is well suited for a wide range of products including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes, and the Exact EX Continuous Mixer, which is ideal for crackers, pretzels, sweet goods, pet treats and other wheat-based products.
