Continuous Mixing Solutions
Continuous Mixing is the process of continuously metering ingredients directly into the mixing chamber to generate a continuous stream of mixed product at the exit of the mixer. The mixing may be done in stages to ensure all ingredients are incorporated properly, and the process has numerous advantages over batch mixing, including:
- No undesirable variations from batch to batch
- Consistent finished weight, size and texture
- Even dough hydration
- Recipe control and repeatability
- Completely automated process
- For non-baked products, achieve verifiable kill temperatures
The Exact MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer. It is suitable for many different products, including pizza, cookies, snacks, batters, icings, and pastes. This mixer offers dough production rates from 500 to 6,000 kg/hour and can also be used as the first stage mixer in multi-stage operations.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels and is ideal for gentle kneading of wheat-based products, such as pretzels, pizza, crackers, sweet goods, and pet treats.
The HDX or High Development Continuous Mixer is designed to first mix all ingredients into a uniform mass with a twin screw mixer. Separately, the dough is kneaded to the proper development level with a single screw mixer. It is well-suited to breads, rolls, buns, English muffins and other high-absorption products.
If your product line involves cookies and other products that require a two-stage mixing process, the LDX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice. It combines minor ingredients and some flour in the first stage with special mixing elements to cut in fat. In the final stage, the remaining flour is added to create the final dough.
For hydroscopic powders and other low moisture mixtures, consider the FX Continuous Mixer, which can distribute small amounts of moisture evenly into large amounts of powder. This high-intensity mixer is also used for potato-, corn- and rice-based products and specialty baked snacks, such as fabricated potato chips.
Reading Bakery Systems also offers the tried-and-true batch mixing workhorse, the Thomas L. Green Vertical Spindle Mixer, which features mixing paddles that are configurable for different products and mixing actions and are rated for capacities up to 2,200 pounds.
