As a manufacturer of innovative snack food processing equipment for industrial bakeries, Reading Bakery Systems can help you improve your products, streamline your processes, and maximize your profitability.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) has been a leader in the snack food industry for over a century, and continues to provide innovative solutions to snack food manufacturers worldwide. We offer a complete line of mixing, dough handling and forming, baking, drying, and supplemental equipment and complete turnkey systems that assist our customers with meeting their unique challenges.
Turnkey Production Systems
RBS manufactures and installs complete turnkey production systems that feature the latest technology and help customers efficiently and profitably produce a wide range of baked snacks.
Multi-Crisp Baked Snack System
With the Multi-Crisp Baked Snack System, you can produce a variety of wheat, potato and corn masa flour crisps on one flexible system. After continuous mixing to ensure even moisture distribution throughout the dough and consistent and appealing product textures, product pieces are cut by the Rotary Cutter and then baked and dried in a convection SPECTRUM OVEN® and dryer system.
The Multi-Crisp System can produce between 250-1000 kg/hr of finished product, with throughput capacity increasing as oven zones are added after the dough sheeting equipment.
Extruded Pretzel and Bread Snack Systems
Our flexible Low Pressure Extruder allows for the creation of pretzel shapes, sticks, braids, sushki, filled sticks and bread snacks on one production line.
Unique product shapes can be designed into custom-made extrusion dies, and product changeover is as simple as exchanging one compression head and die for another with a different shape. Our standard, high volume production lines produce volumes from 400-1000 kg/hr, and can be installed as automatic or manually operated systems.
Stackable Fried Chip Systems
Reading Bakery Systems also offers a modular Stackable Chip System to reliably and efficiently produce fabricated stackable chips. The system can produce between 250-750 kg/hr depending on the fryer capacity.
The Exact FX Continuous Mixing System was specifically designed for this chip process. It evenly distributes moisture throughout the potato dough by using a specialized liquid injection system and a revolutionary mixer shaft design.
The single-reduction, 2-Roll Sheeter produces a continuous dough sheet that is discharged directly onto the Rotary Cutter infeed conveyor. The product is then ready for the fryer (not supplied by RBS).
Expanded Snack System
The cutting-edge RBS Expanded Snack System optimizes output and efficiency to improve your products and your process, enabling you to produce corn curls and corn ball shapes, popcorn, onion rings, and more!
The High-Pressure Extruder mixes and cooks ingredients to produce expanded shapes, including curls, popcorn shapes, rings, and balls. Its flexible design provides for quick and easy changeover of the screws, barrels and product dies, allowing for a wide variety of products with interesting textures and flavors in different shapes.
The Tumble Dryer reduces the moisture of the product to the proper, finished level, typically 1.5-4%. For many applications, this dryer is capable of handling product from two extruders at once. Air circulation, speed, and temperature control are automatic, and drying time can be adjusted during operation to ensure quality control.
