Mixing Solutions
Depending on your level of automation, RBS offers batch and continuous mixing systems. Continuous mixing offers customers numerous advantages over batch mixing. The biggest advantage in all applications is the ability to produce more consistent dough and, therefore, a more consistent finished product.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer uniformly mixes dough with a variety of moisture levels and is ideal for gentle kneading of wheat-based products, such as pretzels, pizza, crackers, sweet goods, and pet treats.
The Exact FX Continuous Mixer evenly distributes small amounts of moisture into large amounts of powder and is ideal for hydroscopic powders, such as potato flakes used to make fabricated potato chips, and other low moisture mixtures.
The Exact HDX or High Development Continuous Mixer is ideal for buns, breads, rolls, English muffins, and other ultra-high absorption doughs. It offers dough production rates from 1,500 to 10,000 kg/hour.
The Exact MX Continuous Mixer offers intense, efficient mixing using a cutting action for products requiring high energy mixing. This mixer offers dough production rates from 50 to 2,000 kg/hour.
Baking & Drying Solutions
With the Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN®, customers who produce pretzels, bread snacks, crisps, and potato snacks will benefit from a variety of heat transfer combinations in one modular design.
The convection baking platform features operator-controlled air temperature, circulation speed, exhaust, and moisture removal for reliable, consistent baking of snacks. Add an optional Multi-Pass Dryer to increase oven speed, production throughput and process control.
When you manufacture biscuits, cookies or crackers, the Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is an excellent choice. The single-pass baking platform is designed to improve product quality and consistency.
Additional Equipment
For maximum flexibility, RBS’ Low Pressure Extruder enables you to create a variety of pretzel shapes, sticks, braids, filled sticks and bread snacks on one production line. Product changeover is as simple as exchanging one compression head and die for another one with a different shape.
For rotary moulded snacks, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder efficiently produces high definition, three dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. The interchangeable die roll is made of engraved brass and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multiple shape production.
For sheeted snacks, the Thomas L. Green Sheeter generates a consistent dough sheet, and the Gauging Stations ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed by the Rotary Cutting Station.
