Reading Bakery Systems is a world leader in the manufacture of technologically advanced industrial bakery equipment for customers in the snack food industry in Belgium and throughout the world.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, USA, offers high-quality solutions to customers in the global food and snack industries, providing reliable and efficient systems for the production of cookies, crackers, biscuits, pretzels, baked potato chips, bread snacks, baked crisps, pet treats and more.
At the heart of RBS is our 30,000 square foot Science & Innovation Center in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, USA. Customers can work with our team to test new machinery and processing techniques; research innovations in mixing, forming, baking and drying that can increase profitability; develop new products; validate new ingredients and test ingredient changes; and produce market samples for testing.
Mixing Solutions
Depending on your level of automation, RBS offers batch and continuous mixing systems.
The Thomas L. Green Vertical Spindle Mixer is suitable for biscuit, cookie and cracker products, and doughs that require a two-stage mixing process with a fermentation period in between. The mixer allows the same dough to be mixed twice and stay in the same trough throughout the process.
Exact Continuous Mixers offer customers the ability to produce large quantities of uniform dough and, therefore, a more consistent finished product than can be accomplished with batch mixing. They come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour, based primarily on dough moisture levels and number of mixing stages, for example:
- Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for low-absorption, stiff, wheat-based doughs, such as crackers, bagels, pretzels, sweet goods and pet treats.
- Exact HDX Continuous Mixer is well-suited to ultra-high absorption doughs for buns, breads, rolls, English muffins or tortillas.
- Exact MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer and is well suited for a wide range of products including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes.
- Exact FX Continuous Mixer is a high intensity mixer that can be used to produce potato-, corn- and rice-based products and specialty baked snacks such as fabricated potato chips.
Baking & Drying Solutions
With the Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN®, customers who produce pretzels, bread snacks, crisps, and potato snacks will benefit from a variety of heat transfer combinations in one modular design.
The convection baking platform features operator-controlled air temperature, circulation speed, exhaust, and moisture removal for reliable, consistent baking of snacks. Add an optional Multi-Pass Dryer to increase oven speed, production throughput and process control.
If you manufacture biscuits, cookies or crackers, the Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is an excellent choice. The single-pass baking platform is designed to improve product quality and consistency.
RBS also manufactures and installs turnkey production systems with the latest technology to efficiently and profitably produce baked snacks. Our systems create sheeted and rotary moulded products and have the flexibility to integrate batch or continuous mixing. For example, consider our Cracker Systems, Hard & Soft Biscuit Systems, Pretzel & Snack Systems, Pet Treat Systems, and other modern, high volume systems.
