About Continuous Mixing
While batch mixing has been the mixing method in the bakery industry for many years, it can lack precision and lead dough variations that impact the consistency of your finished products.Even if the dough is perfect when it leaves the batch mixer, changes often occur to the dough while it awaits processing.This is known as the batch cycle.
Continuous Mixing is the process of continuously metering ingredients directly into the mixing chamber to generate a continuous stream of mixed product at the exit of the mixer. The mixing may be done in stages to ensure all ingredients are incorporated properly.
The continuous mixing process has many advantages compared to batch mixing, including:
- Dough production rates from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour
- Consistently disperses ingredients
- Prevents undesirable variations from batch to batch
- Uniformly hydrates dough
- Recipe control and repeatability
- Completely automated process
- Eliminates chance of dough contamination
- Can be operated with less labor and energy than batch mixing
- For non-baked products, achieves verifiable kill temperatures
The Exact MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer and is suitable for a wide range of products including pizza, snacks, pretzels, cookies, snacks, batters, icings, and pastes. It is often used as the first stage mixer in multi-stage operations.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice for the gentle kneading of wheat-based products, such as crackers, bagels, sweet goods, and for most wheat based dough.
The Exact HDX Continuous Mixer is a two-stage system designed specifically to manufacture highly developed dough at low temperatures for buns, breads, rolls, English muffins or tortillas.
The Exact FX Continuous Mixer is a high-intensity mixer designed to distribute small amounts of moisture evenly into large amounts of powder. It is ideal for potato-, corn- and rice-based products and specialty baked snacks, such as fabricated potato chips.
