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.
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. The models include:
MX Continuous Mixer: The Exact Mixing MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer and is suitable for a wide range of products including pizza, cookies, snacks, batters, icings, and pastes.
HDX Continuous Mixer: The Exact Mixing HDX or High Development Continuous Mixer is well-suited to buns, breads, rolls, English muffins, tortillas, and other ultra-high-absorption products.
EX Continuous Mixer: The Exact Mixing EX Continuous Mixer uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels and is ideal for gentle kneading of low-absorption doughs for cookies, crackers, pretzels and bagels, as well as high-absorption doughs for bread, buns and pizza.
