At Reading Bakery Systems, headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, we design, engineer and manufacture the world’s most advanced industrial cracker manufacturing equipment to help customers discover better ways of making their products. To accomplish this goal, we focus on innovation, high quality equipment, reliability, ease-of-use, and worldwide service and support.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), a long-time global leader in the snack food industry, has been at the forefront of commercial baking systems and technology for more than a century. Our Thomas L. Green brand has been supplying efficient, reliable and cost-effective commercial baking equipment since 1893.
On our modern, high volume systems, you can create straight sheeted, dual sheeted and laminated crackers, and continuous mixing technology is now available.
Continuous Mixing for Crackers
RBS is focused on technology and innovation in the commercial baking industry. You may be accustomed to batch mixing, but recent advancements in support equipment and controls have made continuous mixing technologies possible for cracker manufacturers. Advantages include:
- reduced lay time
- elimination of dough troughs
- improved consistency
- reduced labor and energy
- full automation and documentation
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for everything but the lowest viscosity powder/liquid mixtures. It uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels.This mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Sheeting & Laminating Equipment
Sheeting systems range from 600mm to 1.5m in width, and production volumes range from 200-5500 kg/hr depending on oven length, width and product type.
The Thomas L. Green 2-Roll Sheeter, 3-Roll Sheeter and 4-Roll Sheeter generate consistent, hole-free dough sheets ready for further thickness reduction or lamination. The thickness of the sheets can be adjusted during production to accommodate the type of dough and the requirements of the downstream equipment.
Thomas L. Green Servo-Cut Sheet Laminator accurately cuts, stacks and delivers sheets of dough for unique product textures. The precise and gentle placement of cut sheets provides uniform dough density at both the edges and center of the finished cracker sheet for consistency.
Baking Equipment
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a flexible single-pass baking platform designed to enhance product consistency. The oven offers Emithermic, Direct Gas Fired (DGF) and Convection zones for balanced and consistent quality, color, taste and texture of crackers, cookies and biscuits.
Make the most of both zones with product development and “cooking” in the Emithermic zone and efficient moisture removal and coloring in the convection zone. Customers appreciate the oven’s capacity for repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer.
