Worldwide cracker bakers have trusted Reading Bakery Systems and Thomas L. Green industrial cracker production equipment for more than a century. If you want to produce the best crackers in the industry, look no further than our innovative products.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) serves the cracker, biscuit, cookie, pretzel, baked chip and crisp, bread snack, sweet goods, and pet treat industries. Our range of equipment, expertise, pioneering R&D, and legendary customer service are unrivaled in the industry.
Continuous Mixing
Producing large quantities of uniform, consistent dough can be a challenge, and batch mixing often causes dough variations that affect product consistency.
Is there a solution? Yes. Continuous Mixing equipment from Exact Mixing, a Reading Bakery Systems brand, accurately delivers ingredients to the mixer at rates high enough to produce a consistent better-quality finished product.
RBS has now developed continuous mixing for the snack cracker industry. The Exact EX Continuous Mixer offers several advantages over batch mixing, including:
- Completely automated process
- No undesirable variations from batch to batch
- Even dough hydration
- Consistent finished weight, size and texture
- Recipe control and repeatability
- Eliminates chances of contamination
- High production rates with one mixer
The EX Continuous Mixer uniformly mixes products with different dough moisture levels, reduces lay time, eliminates dough troughs, and reduces labor and energy thanks to full automation.It offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Sheeting & Laminating
The 2-roll, 3-roll, or 4-Roll Thomas L. Green Sheeters produce a hole-free sheet at a uniform density, critical to automated packaging systems after the oven. The rolls compress the dough into a single sheet with consistent characteristics and thickness that is controlled by the distance between the rolls (which is adjustable).
For unique product textures, take advantage of the Thomas L. Green Servo-Cut Sheet Laminator or In-Line Laminator to accurately cut, stack, and deliver sheets of dough. The precise and gentle placement of cut sheets provides uniform dough density at both the edges and center of the finished cracker sheet for greater consistency. Dough sheeters may be installed to the side, or directly above, the Laminator for a compact and efficient production layout.
Baking
The design team at RBS engineers the most advanced, customized oven systems using 3D modeling software, oven airflow analyses, thermal imaging, and other advanced tools. Our oven mechanics construct these proven designs in pre-built modules for superior quality control and faster plant installation.
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a single-pass baking platform that offers Direct Gas Fired (DGF) Zones, Emithermic (Radiant / Convection) and Convection baking zones to deliver uniform quality, color, texture and taste.
When your crackers demand consistency, utilize the best of both zones with product development and “cooking” in the direct gas fired zone and moisture removal and balanced coloring in the convection zone.
