Reading Bakery Systems is a leading manufacturer of bakery equipment. As a result of creating proven solutions in the global snack food industry for more than 120 years, we have extensive experience with pet treat production. We can introduce you to innovative equipment that will meet your needs and deliver superior results. Our pet treat solutions include:
Continuous Mixing Equipment
Continuous mixing with the Exact EX Continuous Mixer will help you produce more consistent dough, a distinct advantage when compared to batch mixing. Continuous mixing can be utilized for both soft and chewy and hard and crunchy pet treats.
Our 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 or 1 degree and then cooled. This is done automatically and with no additional dough handling.
Mount this mixer over forming equipment to take up less space, and automate dough delivery with a mini-laytime conveyor and chunker or kibbler attachments.
Forming Equipment
For high-definition 3-D shapes, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Molder presses dough into interchangeable die rolls and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multi-shape production.
The flexible Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables you to produce a consistent and accurate variety of structural, flat and filled extruded shapes and sticks on one production line. Quickly exchange compression heads and dies to changes shapes.
For uniform sheeted pet treat products, combine the Thomas L. Green Sheeter with Gauging Stations for precise thicknesses prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed by the Rotary Cutting Station.
Baking Equipment
With the Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN®, customers benefit from a variety of heat transfer combinations in one modular design. The single pass convection baking platform is designed for balanced and consistent baking of pet treats. Operators 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.
