Continuous Mixing vs Batch Mixing
Batch mixing is not precise and can lead to dough variations. Even if the dough is perfect when it leaves the batch mixer, changes often occur to the dough while it waits to be processed. This is called the batch cycle, and the variations can negatively affect the consistency of your finished products.
Continuous Mixing solves these problems by:
- Preventing undesirable variations from batch to batch
- Consistently dispersing ingredients
- Promoting even dough hydration
- Producing consistent finished weight, size and texture
- Producing large quantities of uniform dough
- Improving recipe control and repeatability
- Offering dough production rates of 50 to 10,000 kg/hour
- Eliminating chances of dough contamination
- Eliminating mixer loading errors
- Automating the process to use less labor and energy than batch mixing
- Achieving verifiable kill temperatures for non-baked products
Exact Mixing Continuous Mixer Models
Our Exact Continuous Mixers come in various sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. They feature 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 modify as needed. Models include:
