When you need high volume cracker manufacturing systems, learn how Reading Bakery Systems can customize equipment to meet your unique requirements.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, has been at the forefront of industrial baking systems and technology for 125 years. We manufacture technologically advanced commercial bakery equipment, including continuous mixing equipment and the world’s most advanced commercial oven systems.
RBS offers a comprehensive line of mixing, dough handling, dough forming, baking, drying, and supplemental equipment that helps customers meet their challenges when processing fermented or unfermented cracker dough, biscuit dough, and other two-stage or proofed-dough products.
Continuous Mixing Solutions
RBS has now developed continuous mixing systems for the snack cracker industry. In comparison to batch mixing, continuous mixing offers several advantages, including:
- Completely automated process
- No undesirable variations from batch to batch
- Even dough hydration
- Consistent finished weight, size and texture
- Recipe control and repeatability
- Eliminates chances of contamination
- High production rates with one mixer
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer was designed for cracker manufacturers. It mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels uniformly and offers dough production rates of 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Sheeting, Laminating & Other Cracker Solutions
Thomas L. Green 2-roll, 3-roll, or 4-Roll Sheeters produce hole-free sheets at a uniform density that is critical to automated packaging systems after the oven.
The Thomas L. Green Servo-Cut Sheet Laminator accurately cuts, stacks, and delivers sheets of dough to create unique product textures. The precise, gentle placement of cut sheets provides uniform dough density at both the edges and center of the finished cracker sheet for consistency.
RBS’ complete cracker systems include Gauging Stations that will ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness before shape cutting at the Rotary Cutting Station. A Cracker Breaker is also available to precisely divide serrated cracker sheets.
Toppings of all kinds can be easily dispersed by one of our Omega Dispensers. These dispensers can handle a wide range of materials, from uniformly sized to fine-grain to irregular-sized toppings, and have leveling mechanisms that minimize material bridging and clumping.
Baking Solutions
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a single-pass baking platform that offers the flexibility of recirculation and convection baking zones to deliver uniform quality, color, texture and taste for:
- Crackers
- Hard or soft biscuits
- Cookies
- Snack cakes
- English muffins
For products like crackers that require consistency, utilize the best of both zones with product development and “cooking” in the direct gas fired zone and moisture removal and balanced coloring in the convection zone.
Control of the exhaust, air temperature and circulation velocity allow operators to achieve optimal moisture removal from the product for maximum quality assurance.
