When you need reliable and cost-effective industrial dough forming and handling equipment, Reading Bakery Systems can help you meet your challenges.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, has been at the forefront of industrial baking systems and technology for 125 years. We manufacture technologically advanced commercial bakery equipment, including continuous mixing equipment, which accurately delivers dough to your snack production line, and the world’s most advanced commercial oven systems.
Continuous Mixing & Dough Handling
Producing large quantities of consistent, uniform dough can be a challenge. Our Exact continuous mixing equipment accurately delivers ingredients to the mixer at rates high enough to help you produce a better-quality finished product.
The Exact MX Continuous Mixer, for example, is our most versatile mixer. It offers dough production rates from 50 to 2,000 kg/hour and is ideal for a wide range of products including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is well-suited for low-absorption, stiff, wheat-based doughs, such as for crackers, bagels, pretzels, sweet goods and pet treats, and the Exact HDX Continuous Mixer is ideal for ultra-high absorption doughs for buns, breads, rolls, English muffins or tortillas.
The completely automated Reading Pretzel DoughBot dough handling system precisely portions, conditions, and transports dough to downstream forming equipment. It transports large masses of dough or dough loaves from the mixer to the forming equipment.
Dough Forming
RBS is proud to offer customers an extensive range of equipment for dough handling and forming in between the mixer and the oven.
For extruded and co-extruded products, the Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables consistent and accurate production of a variety of structural, flat and filled extruded shapes and sticks.
The Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder efficiently produces high definition, three dimensional rotary molded biscuits, cookies and pet treats.
The Thomas L. Green Wirecut Machine creates a variety of cookies, biscuits, and bar products. It provides piece-weight accuracy and reliability, and is best for nondescript shapes, with or without inclusions. It uniformly cuts individual shapes at up to 300 cuts per minute, depending on product type.
For sheeted snacks, the Thomas L. Green Sheeter creates a consistent dough sheet, and Gauging Stations ensure accurate thickness prior to forming. Form scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes with the Rotary Cutting Station.
