Mixing & Dough Handling Solutions
Dough can be mixed on Thomas L. Green Vertical Spindle Mixers that allow the dough to be mixed twice and stay in the same trough throughout the entire process, or with Exact Continuous Mixers that uniformly mix products with a variety of dough moisture levels.
The EX Continuous Mixer, for example, produces low absorption dough for products such as cookies, crackers, pretzels, and bagels, as well as high absorption dough for bread, buns and pizza. This mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
The LDX Continuous Mixer is the ideal two-stage mixer for rotary moulded cookies, wirecut cookies, and crackers. It allows the creme up stage to be automated in conjunction with the dough mixing, and offers dough production rates from 1,500 to 7,500 kg/hour.
Wirecutting Solutions
The Thomas L. Green Wirecut Machine creates a variety of cookies, biscuits and bar products. It is designed to provide piece-weight accuracy and reliability, and is best for nondescript shapes, with or without inclusions.
The machine uniformly cuts individual shapes at up to 150 cuts per minute, and can be positioned over the transfer belt or oven band and removed from the line without disrupting the conveyor system. It can also be built with an integral conveyor that discharges onto the oven conveyor system.
If your production involves high definition, three dimensional cookies, sandwich cookies, bars or biscuits, the Rotary Moulder features an interchangeable die roll made of engraved brass that can be supplied with segmented rings for multiple shapes.
