About Continuous Mixing
Batch mixing may be the most common mixing method, but it can lack precision and lead to unwanted variations in your finished dough. Even if the dough was perfect when it left the batch mixer, changes often occur while the dough awaits processing. This is known as the “batch cycle.”
To solve this problem, Exact Continuous Mixers continuously meter 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 properly incorporated.
The advantages of continuous mixing include:
- Completely automated process
- Uniform dough hydration.
- Produces consistent finished weight, size, and texture
- High production rates with one mixer
- Better recipe control and repeatability
- Eliminates chances of dough contamination
- Saves labor and energy compared to batch mixing
Exact Continuous Mixers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. They are designed using Loss-in-Weight technology – the most accurate feeding technology available. And all metering and mixing procedures are monitored and initiated by the control system, so the operator can always confirm and modify as needed. Models include:
- Exact HDX Continuous Mixer is well-suited to ultra-high absorption doughs, such as for bread, buns, rolls, English muffins, and tortillas.
- Exact EX Continuous Mixer is a great choice for low-absorption, stiff, wheat-based doughs, such as crackers, bagels, pretzels, pizza, sweet goods, and pet treats.
- Exact MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer and can be used for a wide range of products, including cookies, snacks, muffins, 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.
- Exact LDX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice for most types of cookies and similar applications where ingredients are blended before adding flour.
