Continuous Mixing Equipment
Continuous Mixing eliminates the undesirable dough variations that are caused by batch mixing.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer will enable you to produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy, a distinct advantage compared to batch mixing. Continuous mixing can be utilized for both soft and chewy and hard and crunchy pet foods and treats, and offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Dough Forming Equipment
Whether your production involves dry dog foods or pet treats that are rotary molded, extruded, sheeted, or in stick or nugget form, Reading Bakery Systems has a solution that will meet your needs.
The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables customers to produce consistent and accurate structural, flat and filled extruded shapes and sticks. Fit it with different compression heads and dies to expand your product range.
The single-blade Reading Pretzel Guillotine Cutter is used to cut products uniformly before or after baking, allowing the operator to create a product size as short as one inch (25 mm) at the press of a button.
The Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder creates high definition, three dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. Engraved brass die rolls are interchangeable and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multiple shape production.
The Thomas L. Green Sheeter creates a consistent dough sheet for sheeted pet foods and treats, and Gauging Stations ensure accurate thickness prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed with the Rotary Cutting Station.
Baking and Drying
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® is a flexible platform that offers a variety of heat transfer combinations in a single modular design. This single pass oven is designed for balanced and consistent baking of pet foods and treats with operator controlled exhaust, air temperature, circulation velocity, and moisture removal rate.
Add an optional SPECTRUM Multi-Pass Dryer for faster oven speeds, greater production throughput, and more process control. The Dryer efficiently reduces product core moistures improving overall quality and storage characteristics.
