Mixing Solutions
Continuous mixing with the Exact EX Continuous Mixer helps produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy, a significant advantage over batch mixing. The mixer is well-suited to both soft/chewy and hard/crunchy pet treats.
Our continuous mixing process is ideal because the products are both well-mixed and heated to the proper kill temperature in the mixer. The dough can be quickly heated to the kill temperature within a range of 1 degree and then cooled. This is done automatically and without additional dough handling. Dough delivery can be automated with a mini-laytime conveyor and chunker or kibbler attachments.
Dough Forming Solutions
Reading Bakery Systems offers a solution designed and engineered to meet your requirements, whether your pet treats are rotary moulded, extruded, sheeted, or in stick or nugget form.
Moulded Products: For rotary moulded pet food products and dog treats, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder efficiently produces high definition, three-dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll.
Extruded Products: For extruded and co-extruded products, the Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables consistent and accurate production of various structural, flat, and filled extruded shapes and sticks.
Sheeted Products: For sheeted pet treats, the Thomas L. Green Sheeter generates a consistent dough sheet, and Gauging Stations ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness before shape forming. The Rotary Cutting Station can form scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes.
Sticks/Nuggets: The single-blade Reading Pretzel Guillotine Cutter uniformly cuts products before or after baking, allowing the operator to create a product size as short as one inch (25 mm) at the push of a button.
Baking and Drying Solutions
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® is designed for balanced and consistent baking of dry pet food and dog treats. The single-pass convection baking platform offers customers more precise control of product quality and features:
- Radiation, convection, and conduction heat transfer options
- Separate heating zones for more precise control
- Repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity, and type of heat transfer
- Stainless steel interior construction
A separate optional 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.
