As a long-time global leader in the snack food industry, RBS proudly offers the world’s most advanced equipment from Thomas L. Green, which has supplied the biscuit, cracker and cookie industries since 1893; Reading Bakery Systems, whose long history of manufacturing expertise dates back to 1947; Exact Mixing, the world’s most innovative developer of Continuous Mixing solutions; and Reading Thermal, which provides oven profiling and consulting services.
Continuous Mixing Solutions
Batch mixing can lead to dough variations that affect the consistency of your finished products. Continuous mixing has grown in popularity for its ability to continuously produce a more consistent dough.
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. Models include the Exact MX Continuous Mixer, our most versatile mixer, which is well suited for a wide range of products including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes, and the Exact EX Continuous Mixer, which is ideal for crackers, pretzels, sweet goods, pet treats and other wheat-based products.
Flexible, High-Quality Ovens
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

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.
