Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, has been at the forefront of industrial baking systems and technology for 125 years. We manufacture technologically advanced commercial bakery equipment, including continuous mixing equipment and the world’s most advanced commercial oven systems.
RBS offers a comprehensive line of mixing, dough handling, dough forming, baking, drying, and supplemental equipment that helps customers meet their challenges when processing fermented or unfermented cracker dough, biscuit dough, and other two-stage or proofed-dough products.
Continuous Mixing Solution for Crackers
RBS has now developed continuous mixing systems for the snack cracker industry. In comparison to batch mixing, continuous mixing offers full automation and documentation and can:
- Prevent undesirable variations from batch to batch
- improve consistency of weight, size and texture
- reduce lay time
- eliminate dough troughs
- eliminate chances of dough contamination
- operate with less labor and energy
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels uniformly and offers dough production rates of 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Sheeting, Laminating & Other Cracker Solutions
Thomas L. Green 2-roll, 3-roll, or 4-Roll Sheeters produce hole-free sheets at a uniform density that is crucial for automated packaging systems after the oven. Consistent sheet thickness is controlled by the distance between the rolls that compress the dough (which is adjustable).
The Thomas L. Green Servo-Cut Sheet Laminator accurately cuts, stacks, and delivers sheets of dough to create unique product textures. The precise, gentle placement of cut sheets provides uniform dough density at both the edges and center of the finished cracker sheet for consistency.
RBS’ complete cracker systems include Gauging Stations that will ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness before shape cutting at the Rotary Cutting Station. A Cracker Breaker is also available to precisely divide serrated cracker sheets.
Toppings of all kinds can be easily distributed by one of our Omega Dispensers. These dispensers can handle a wide range of materials, from uniformly sized to fine-grain to irregular-sized toppings, and have leveling mechanisms that minimize material bridging and clumping.

- Crackers
- Hard or soft biscuits
- Cookies

Cracker bakers around the world have entrusted their cracker production to Thomas L. Green ovens for more than 125 years and appreciate this oven’s capacity for repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity, and type of heat transfer.
