With over 125 years of expertise and an unmatched range of equipment, customers rely on our technologically advanced mixing, forming and cutting equipment to improve efficiency, quality, volume and profitability.
Continuous Mixing
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for both soft/chewy and hard/crunchy pet treats. It uniformly mixes dough with a variety of dough moisture levels. Dough can be quickly heated to the proper kill temperature within a range of one degree and then cooled. This is done automatically and with no handling or manual transporting of the dough.
Dough Forming
For rotary moulded pet treats, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Molder 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 extruded and co-extruded products, the Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder will enable you to create a variety of structural, flat and filled extruded and co-extruded shapes and sticks. It provides a more flexible, cost-effective alternative to conventional dough forming and sheeting systems for customers who produce a variety of pet treats.
For sheeted pet treat products, the Thomas L. Green Sheeter will create a consistent dough sheet and Gauging Stations will ensure accurate thickness prior to forming. Form scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes with the Rotary Cutting Station.
For sticks and nuggets, use the single-blade Reading Pretzel Guillotine Cutter to uniformly cut products before or after baking. Operators can create products as short as one inch (25 mm) in size at the push of a button.
Baking & Drying
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers a variety of heat transfer combinations in one modular design. The single-pass convection baking platform features operator-controlled air temperature, circulation speed, exhaust, and moisture removal for reliable, consistent baking of pet treats.
Add an optional Multi-Pass Dryer for faster oven speeds, greater production throughput, and more process control. The Dryer efficiently reduces product core moistures improving overall quality and storage characteristics.
