Reading Bakery Systems is the world leading supplier of efficient, high volume pretzel and snack systems.

This flexible system allows you to create a variety of pretzel shapes, sticks, braids, flats, sushki, filled sticks and bread and potato snacks on one production line. Product changeover is as simple as exchanging one compression head and die for another one with a different shape.

Our production systems can be fed using a batch mixer or a continuous mixer depending on your level of automation.  Continuous mixing systems from Exact Mixing are fully automated; they reduce labor, cut costs, improve consistency and simplify your mixing process. With these recipe-driven systems, final product quality is assured and is fully repeatable.
