Driven by an unparalleled commitment to high quality, Reading Bakery Systems manufactures industrial pretzel production line equipment that can help you improve your process.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) is headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, at the center of American pretzel production. Our predecessor, Reading Pretzel Machinery Corp., manufactured the first pretzel-processing equipment more than 70 years ago and grew into the world leader in commercial pretzel equipment.
Decades of innovation have led RBS to introduce other pretzel machinery, including low pressure extruders, ultrasonic cutters, hot cookers, 2-pass baking systems, variable heat-flux ovens and multi-pass dryers. Today, pretzels can be made on highly automated equipment that is capable of producing several thousand pounds of pretzels per hour.
Extruder: Create a variety of structural, flat and filled extruded and shapes and sticks with the flexible Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder, an excellent alternative to conventional dough forming and sheeting systems. Produce hard pretzel shapes, sticks, braids and other shapes, by easily exchanging compression heads and dies. for enhanced product variation.
Cutter: The single-blade Reading Pretzel Guillotine Cutter cuts products before or after baking, and can create a pretzel as short as one inch (25 mm) at the press of a button. It can be operated continuously at up to 175 cuts per minute or on a cycle mode at speeds up to 50 cuts per minute.
Topping Dispensers: Omega Dispensers apply topping materials with uniformity by means of rotating rolls for application of pretzel salt, poppy seeds and sesame seeds, dispensing screens for delivering fine-grain spices and cinnamon, and vibrating trays that dispense toppings such as caraway seeds, nut pieces and seed/spice mixes.
Hot Cooker: The Reading Pretzel Automatic Hot Pretzel Cooker evenly cooks pretzels and pretzel-type products. It utilizes a bath or waterfall system to apply caustic solution, providing greater control over product texture and color before baking.
Pretzel Oven: The SPECTRUM OVEN® is available in a number of configurations with different heat transfer modules that allow for greater product variation with a simple profile adjustment. Radiation, convection heating and conduction zones give you repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and the type of heat transfer.
Our standard, high volume production lines produce from 400-1000 kg/hr, and can be installed as automatic or manually operated systems. We also offer the Vector Pretzel Pine for customers interested in lower production volumes.
