Mixing Solutions
Producing large quantities of uniform dough can be a challenge. Continuous Mixing offers a number of advantages over batch mixing, including the ability to produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy.
The Exact FX Continuous Mixer evenly distributes small amounts of moisture into large amounts of powder. A high-speed mixing shaft lifts powdered ingredients into and through atomized liquids sprayed into the mixing chamber.
This mixer can be used to produce potato-, corn- and rice-based products and is ideal for hydroscopic powders such as the potato flakes used to make fabricated potato chips or any other low moisture mixtures.It prevents the creation of wet and dry areas in the final dough and ensures a great texture.
The FX Continuous Mixer provides for precise and uninterrupted ingredient delivery to the mixer, eliminates the chances of dough contamination, and features dough production rates from 100 to 1,250 kg/hour.
Dough Forming Solutions
The single-reduction Thomas L. Green 2-Roll Sheeter will produce a continuous and consistent dough sheet ready for dough forming or further reduction and discharge it directly onto the Rotary Cutting Station infeed conveyor.
Sheet thickness is controlled by the distance between the two powered stainless steel rolls (which is adjustable). The rolls compress the dough into a single sheet with consistent characteristics and thickness. An optional 2-Roll Sheeter can be provided to produce chips with a ridged appearance and crinkled product texture.
The Thomas L. Green Rotary Cutting Station accurately and continuously cuts product shapes out of a single dough sheet and reroutes scrap dough to the dough handling system for reuse. This system can be designed with two die rolls to accommodate complex shape adjustment and can be quickly changed to increase product flexibility.
