Reading Bakery Systems, headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, serves the biscuit, cookie, cracker, pretzel, baked potato chip, bread snack, sweet goods and pet treat industries in Indiana and around the globe. Our high quality, innovative industrial bakery equipment can be customized to meet your production demands.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) has been at the forefront of industrial baking systems and technology for more than a century. We manufacture technologically advanced commercial bakery equipment, including continuous mixing equipment, which accurately delivers dough to your snack production line, and the world’s most advanced commercial oven systems.
Mixing Equipment
Producing large quantities of consistent, uniform dough can be a challenge, and batch mixing can lead to dough variations that affect the consistency of your products.
The solution is our continuous mixing equipment which accurately delivers ingredients to the mixer at rates high enough to help you produce a better quality finished product.
The Exact MX Continuous Mixer, for example, is our most versatile mixer. It offers dough production rates from 50 to 2,000 kg/hour and is ideal for a wide range of products including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes. The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is well-suited for low-absorption, stiff, wheat-based doughs, such as for crackers, bagels, pretzels, sweet goods and pet treats, and the Exact HDX Continuous Mixer is ideal for ultra-high absorption doughs for buns, breads, rolls, English muffins or tortillas.
Baking Equipment
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

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.
