Green and Reading Pretzel, innovative oven profiling systems from Reading Thermal, and technologically advanced Continuous Mixing systems from Exact Mixing.
Our Continuous Mixing Solutions
In commercial settings, producing large quantities of consistent, uniform dough can be challenging. The quality and consistency of your final products depend heavily on the mixing phase, and if it is not done correctly, it can be difficult to correct later. That's why we recommend using Continuous Mixing technology from Exact Mixing if you want to produce more consistent dough than can typically be achieved with batch mixing.
Our Continuous Mixing equipment includes a range of mixers that are suitable for various applications. For example, the EX Continuous Mixer is perfect for wheat-based snacks such as sweet goods, crackers, pie crusts, pretzels, and pet treats, as well as low-viscosity powder/liquid mixtures. This single-screw mixer offers dough production rates ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour, and it uniformly mixes dough with various moisture levels without generating excessive heat.
Meanwhile, the HDX Continuous Mixer is designed for manufacturing highly developed dough at low temperatures, making it ideal for hot dog and hamburger buns, breads, hard rolls, English muffins, tortillas, multi-grain products, and similar items. This high-development mixer offers uninterrupted and precise ingredient metering to the mixer, eliminating the chance of contamination because the dough is never exposed to the environment. It offers dough production rates ranging from 1,500 to 10,000 kg/hour.
The MX Continuous Mixer is an extremely versatile twin-screw mixer that is suitable for a wide range of products, including cookies, snacks, batters, icings, pretzels, pizza, and pastes. It is also an ideal first-stage mixer for processes that require creme up and pre-blend stages. This mixer offers dough production rates ranging from 500 to 6,000 kg/hour.
The FX Continuous Mixer is ideal for distributing small amounts of moisture evenly into large quantities of powder, such as potato flakes used to make fabricated potato chips and any other low-moisture mixtures. This is accomplished by lifting the powder into atomized liquids. This high shear mixer offers dough production rates ranging from 100 to 1,250 kg/hour.
Finally, the LDX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice for most types of cookies and similar applications where ingredients are blended before adding flour. This mixer offers dough production rates ranging from 1,500 to 7,500 kg/hour.
