Dough Mixing
Continuous Mixing offers many advantages over batch mixing, particularly its ability to produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for both soft, chewy and hard, crunchy dog food and treats. It uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels.This mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
The products are well mixed and heated to the proper kill temperature in the mixer.The dough can be quickly heated to the kill temperature within a range of 1 degree and then cooled.This is done automatically and with no handling or manual transporting of the dough.
Mount this mixer over forming equipment to take up less space, and automate dough delivery with a mini-laytime conveyor and chunker or kibbler attachments.
Dough Forming
Whether your production involves dry dog foods or pet treats that are rotary molded, extruded, sheeted, or in stick or nugget form, Reading Bakey Systems has a solution that will meet your needs.
The flexible Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables you to produce a consistent and accurate variety of structural, flat and filled extruded shapes and sticks on one production line. Quickly exchange compression heads and dies to changes shapes.
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.
For high-definition 3-D shapes, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Molder presses dough into interchangeable die rolls and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multi-shape production.
For uniform sheeted dog treat products, combine the Thomas L. Green Sheeter with Gauging Stations for precise thicknesses prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed by 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.
