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.
Although Continuous Mixing is not suitable for every application, neither is batch mixing. When you want to produce larger quantities of consistent, uniform dough, a Continuous Mixer system from RBS may help you take your operations to the next level.
About Exact Continuous Mixers
Exact Continuous Mixers come in a range of sizes, from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. Models are available based primarily on the moisture level of your dough and the number of mixing stages your product requires. For example:
Cookies, Snacks, Nut Bars, Batters, Icings, Pastes
Exact Mixing offers the MX Continuous Mixer, our most versatile mixer, specifically designed for products with dough moisture levels that range from very low to high and those with inclusions that need to be protected from damage. It’s an excellent solution for products that require high-energy Mixing and features special mixing actions to ensure inclusion integrity.
Crackers, Pretzels, Bagels, Pizza, Sweet Goods, Pet Treats
Exact Mixing offers the EX Continuous Mixer specifically for products that have a variety of dough moisture levels. The mixing action is thorough and quickly develops a mass, and evenly blends the leavening agents into the dough for a uniform piece size after the oven.
Bread, Buns, Rolls, English Muffins, Tortillas
The HDX Continuous Mixer is ideal for high development mixing of ultra-high-absorption doughs. In the first stage, ingredients are mixed into a uniform mass with a twin-screw mixer. In a separate section, a single-screw mixer kneads the dough to the proper development level.
Cookies & Other Products That Need 2-Stage Mixing
For products that require ingredients to be blended before adding most of the flour, the LDX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice. In the first mixing stage, all minor ingredients can be combined with some of the flour, and the fat can be cut in. In the final stage, the remaining flour is added to create the final dough.
Potato Snacks, Corn Chips, Rice Chips, Veggie Chips
The FX Continuous Mixer evenly distributes small amounts of moisture into large quantities of powder by lifting the powder into atomized liquids. It prevents wet and dry areas in the final dough. This mixer is ideal for hydroscopic powders, such as the potato flakes used for making fabricated potato chips and other low moisture mixtures.
