Reading Bakery System’s primary mixer brand – Exact Mixing – is the global leader in continuous mixing technology and has made us a leader in the baked snack, pretzel, sweet goods, pet treat, bread and bun, pizza, tortilla, cookie, and cracker industries.
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.
Other advantages of Continuous Mixing include:
- No undesirable variations in dough from batch-to-batch
- More precise delivery of raw materials to the mixer
- Equipment takes up less space
- Thanks to higher dough production rates of 2,000 or more pounds/hour, the cost is less than or equal to that of the batch mixer
- Produces a continuous stream of dough that can be sliced automatically into loaves by the mixer with no additional equipment required
- Better food safety; the dough is never exposed to the environment
- Automated operation reduces labor costs
Exact Continuous Mixers are available in a range of sizes, from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour, based primarily on dough moisture levels or the number of mixing stages.
