Whether you produce crackers, biscuits, cookies, pretzels, potato chips, bread snacks, baked crisps, pet treats or other baked snack foods, we are ready to help you meet your process and product challenges with innovative thinking and high quality systems and components.
Mixer Technology
If you are working with cracker doughs or other doughs that require a two-stage mixing process with a fermentation period in between, the Thomas L. Green Vertical Spindle Mixer can streamline your process. The mixer allows the same dough to be mixed twice but remain in the same trough throughout the process. After the first mixing stage, the dough-filled trough can be repositioned beneath the spindles and mixed again to incorporate the final ingredients.
Consider our continuous mixing technology when you are interested in producing a more consistent dough and finished product. Exact Mixing offers several different mixer models that are appropriate for different types of products with production volumes that range from 50 kg/hour to over 10,000 kg/hour.
One model, the Exact EX Continuous Mixer, is ideal for crackers, pretzels, pizza, pie crusts, pet treats and a variety of other wheat-based snacks. It uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels. This mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Oven Technology
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a powerful system for uniform baking of products such as hard and soft biscuits, cookies, crackers, English muffins and snack cakes. It employs Direct Gas Fired (DGF) Zones, Emithermic (Radiant / Convection) Zones and Convection Zones, each with a number of options to provide your baked products with uniform quality, color, taste and texture. Customers appreciate this oven’s capacity for repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer.
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer options in a single modular design, making it ideally suited to extruded pretzels and snacks, baked snack crisps and pet treats. The SPECTRUM OVEN® features an easy-to-use system that gives the operator complete control of oven temperature, humidity, and product bake time.
Additional Equipment
RBS is also proud to offer customers an extensive range of other equipment for dough handling and forming in between the mixer and the oven.
For extruded and co-extruded products, the Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables consistent and accurate production of a variety of structural, flat and filled extruded shapes and sticks. Also explore the Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder which efficiently produces high definition, three dimensional rotary moulded shapes.
RBS also manufactures and installs turnkey production systems with the latest technology to efficiently and profitably produce baked snacks. For example, consider our Pretzel & Snack Systems, Cracker Systems, Hard & Soft Biscuit Systems, Pet Treat Systems, and our other modern, high volume systems.
