History of the Thomas L. Green Brand
The success story of the brand began in 1893 when Thomas L. Green and his partners manufactured the first rotary biscuit-cutting machine. By the 1960s, the company had become the only manufacturer of complete bakery production lines in the USA and served customers in more than 30 countries.
Thomas L. Green merged with Reading Bakery Systems in 2001 and, today, we proudly manufacture the world’s most advanced commercial equipment for the production of a wide variety of food and snack products, such as biscuits, crackers, cookies, pretzels, baked potato chips, bread snacks, baked crisps, pet treats and more.
Forming Equipment for Hard or Soft Biscuits
Soft Biscuits – When you need high-definition 3-D shapes, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder presses dough into interchangeable die rolls and is available with segmented rings for simultaneous, multi-shape production. The machine is built on lockable casters which provides portability and interchangeability with existing production line components.
Hard Biscuits – The Thomas L. Green 3-Roll Sheeter generates a consistent dough sheet ready for further thickness reduction. The Gauging Stations then ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness prior to shape forming. Dough flow is accurately controlled to maintain dough density, laminations and finished product weights.
Biscuit Baking
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a powerful system for uniform baking of products such as hard and soft biscuits, cookies, crackers, snack cakes and more. It features:
- Direct gas fired, convection and Emithermic radiant/convection baking zones
- Modular design for optimal baking profile control
- Factory built sections for quick and easy installation
- Air circulation and exhaust systems are completely controllable
- Configurable heat transfer zones for baking flexibility and control
We encourage customers to test out the PRISM OVEN, our dough mixing and forming processes, and a complete process line for making biscuits and other snack foods in the Reading Bakery Systems Science & Innovation Center to learn how to increase productivity in your operation.
This will also allow you to evaluate factors such as production capacity, ease-of-use, ease-of-maintenance, floor space, cost, and whether the equipment will help you produce biscuits and other products that meet your expectations.
