Reading Bakery Systems is the leading industry supplier of high volume industrial snack production equipment. We manufacture and install turnkey production systems with the latest technology to efficiently and profitably produce baked snacks.
Our primary goal is to help customers perfect their processes and their products with baking equipment that is specifically tailored to their needs. Our range of equipment, expertise, pioneering R&D, and legendary customer service are unrivaled in the industry.
Continuous Mixing
Batch mixing can lack precision and lead to variations in dough, which can impact the consistency of finished products. Even if the dough is perfect leaving the batch mixer, changes often occur to the dough while it awaits processing. This is known as the batch cycle. Continuous Mixing solves these problems by providing a consistent, uniform dough stream to your production line at the same rate that it is being used.
Exact Mixing is the leading supplier of Continuous Mixing Systems for the baked snack, cracker, sweet goods, pizza, tortilla and bread and buns industries that can help you reduce labor, cut costs, improve consistency, and simplify your mixing process.
Baking
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® is a single or 2-pass convection baking platform designed for balanced and consistent baking of pretzels, bread snacks, crisps and potato snacks.
Control of the exhaust, air temperature and circulation velocity allow the operator to control the product moisture removal rate for maximum quality assurance. A dryer may be combined with the oven zone to create a space efficient two-pass baking chamber.
The optional SPECTRUM Multi-Pass Dryer provides faster oven speeds, greater production throughput, and more process control. The Dryer efficiently reduces product core moistures improving overall quality and storage characteristics.
Additional Equipment
For maximum flexibility, Reading Bakery System’s Low Pressure Extruder allows 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 molded 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.
