Exact Continuous Mixers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. Models include the Exact MX Continuous Mixer, our most versatile mixer, which is well suited for a wide range of products, including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes, and the Exact EX Continuous Mixer, which is ideal for crackers, pretzels, sweet goods, pet treats, and other wheat-based products.
Baking & Drying
Customers in the global biscuit, cookie, and cracker industry have trusted the Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN for more than a century. The single-pass baking platform is designed to improve consistency and promote uniform product quality, color, taste, and texture.
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers the same flexibility as the PRISM OVEN for baking pretzels, bread snacks, crisps, and potato snacks, with several different heat transfer zones in one modular design.
Add an optional Multi-Pass Dryer to increase oven speed, production throughput, and process control.
Our Latest Turnkey Snack Production Systems
Fried Potato Rings: The extrusion-based Fried Potato Ring System is ideal for the flexible, efficient, high-volume production of extruded fried snacks, such as the popular fried potato ring product. It is capable of producing finished products at 200-1000 kg/hour.
Expanded Snacks: The innovative RBS Expanded Snack System enables you to create puffy, crunchy, direct expanded snacks made from cereal ingredients, such as rice, corn, and potato. These ready-to-eat snacks come in various simple shapes, including curls, balls, rings, animals, and stars, and are often textured and coated with salt, spices, or cheese to make them tasty and fun.
Popped Snacks: RBS and Incomec, a Belgian manufacturer of popping/puffing equipment, have partnered to supply customers in the USA and Canada with specialized popped snack equipment. The Popped Snack System will include a Pellex C+ or Cerex Processor, depending on the final product you wish to produce.
Stackable Chips: The modular Stackable Fried Chip System is designed to reliably and efficiently produce fabricated stackable chips. The single-reduction, 2-Roll Sheeter produces a continuous dough sheet that is discharged directly onto the Rotary Cutter infeed conveyor. The die roll on the Rotary Cutter separates the dough sheet into distinct shapes.
Granola Production: Today, healthier snacks, particularly granola bars, have become more popular. As RBS continues to help customers capitalize on consumer trends and maximize their operations, we have designed the new Granola Production System that incorporates efficiency, reliability, and flexibility to help our customers optimize production. Production volumes range from 500 – 2500 kg/hr.
