Mixing Solutions
To simplify your mixing process and produce large quantities of consistent, uniform dough, consider Continuous Mixing, which accurately delivers ingredients to the mixer at rates high enough to help you produce a better quality finished product.
Our Exact Continuous Mixers come in all sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour, and are available based primarily on dough moisture levels or dough mixing stages, for example:
- 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 EX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice for low-absorption, stiff, wheat-based doughs, such as crackers, bagels, pretzels, pizza, sweet goods and pet treats.
- Exact HDX Continuous Mixer is ideal for ultra-high absorption doughs for buns, breads, rolls, English muffins or tortillas.
- 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
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN has been trusted in the biscuit, cookie and cracker industry for over 120 years. It is a flexible single-pass baking platform designed to enhance product consistency. Features include:
- Direct gas fired (DGF), convection, and Emithermic (radiant / convection) baking zones
- Repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer
- Better baking efficiency with uniform quality, color, taste and texture
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers the same flexibility as the PRISM OVEN for baking pretzels, bread snacks, baked crisps and potato snacks. It features:
- Radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer options
- Separate heating zones for more precise control
- Repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer
- Stainless steel interior construction
A separate optional SPECTRUM Multi-Pass Dryer provides faster oven speeds, greater production throughput, and more process control. The Dryer efficiently reduces product core moistures, improving overall quality and storage characteristics.
Turnkey Production Systems
Our Thomas L. Green Hard & Soft Biscuit System creates sheeted and rotary moulded biscuits. For hard biscuits, the system offers a 3-Roll Sheeter, Gauge Rolls and a flexible Rotary Cutting Station. Soft biscuits are made on a Rotary Moulder designed to efficiently produce high definition, three dimensional biscuits, cookies and pet treats.
The Multi-Crisp Baked Snack System enables you to produce a variety of wheat, potato, multi-grain and corn masa flour crisps on one flexible system. The system can produce between 250-1000 kg/hr of finished product, depending on the number of oven sections after the dough sheeting equipment.
