Innovations in Mixing
Batch mixing often leads to dough variations that impact the consistency of finished products. Exact Mixing offers several models of Continuous Mixers that solve this problem by providing a consistent, uniform dough stream to your production line at the same rate that it is being used.
The advantages of continuous mixing include:
- More precise delivery of raw materials to the mixer
- Improved consistency of weight, size and texture
- Elimination of dough troughs
- Recipe control and repeatability
- Completely automated process
Exact Continuous Mixers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. Different models are available based primarily on dough moisture levels and number of mixing stages.
They include the Exact HDX or High Development Continuous Mixer, which is designed for ultra-high absorption doughs, such as buns, breads, rolls and English muffins, the Exact EX Continuous Mixer, which is ideal for crackers, pretzels, sweet goods, pet treats and other wheat-based products, and the Exact MX Continuous Mixer, our most versatile mixer, which is well suited for a wide range of products including pizza, cookies, snacks, batters, icings, and pastes.
Dough Forming Innovations
The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure Extruder offers exceptional flexibility, enabling you to create a variety of pretzel shapes, sticks, braids, filled sticks and bread snacks on one production line. Product changeover is as simple as exchanging one compression head and die for another one with a different shape.
For rotary moulded snacks, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder efficiently produces high definition, 3-D shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. The interchangeable engraved brass die roll can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multi-shape production.
The Thomas L. Green Sheeter generates a consistent dough sheet, and Gauging Stations ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed by the Rotary Cutting Station.
Baking Innovations
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer options in a single modular design, making it ideally suited for balanced and consistent baking of extruded pretzels and snacks, baked snack crisps from potato, wheat, multi-grain or corn masa flour doughs, and pet treats.
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN has been trusted in the biscuit, cookie and cracker industry for more than a century. The flexible single-pass baking platform offers Direct Gas Fired (DGF) Zones, Emithermic (Radiant / Convection) Zones and Convection Zones.
