Mix the Dough
Produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy than batch mixing with the Exact EX Continuous Mixer. The mixer is suitable for hard/crunchy and soft/chewy pet treats.
Our continuous mixing process is ideal for pet treats because the products are well-mixed and heated in the mixer to the correct kill temperature. The dough can be quickly heated to the kill temperature within 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.
Form the Dough
Whether you plan to produce pet treats in rotary moulded, extruded, sheeted, or stick or nugget form, Reading Bakery Systems has a solution that is designed and engineered to meet your requirements.
Moulded Products: The Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder efficiently produces high definition, three-dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll to make rotary moulded pet food products and dog treats.
Extruded Products: The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables consistent and accurate production of various structural, flat, and filled extruded and co-extruded shapes and sticks.
Sheeted Products: 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 cuts products uniformly before or after baking, enabling the operator to create a product as short as one inch long (25 mm) at the push of a button.
Bake the Dough
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® is a single-pass convection baking platform that is essential for balanced, consistent pet treat baking. It is available in different heat transfer combinations - radiation, convection, and conduction - and will enable you to expand product variety by simply adjusting the heat transfer profile. Separate heating zones give you more precise repeatable control over heat transfer, baking time, temperature, humidity, and product quality.
