Advances in Bread Making Technology

If you are interested in advances in bread making technology that could enhance your bread and roll production, look no further than Reading Bakery Systems.

Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) proudly offers the world’s most advanced commercial baking equipment from Exact Mixing, the global leader in developing Continuous Mixing solutions; Thomas L. Green, which has supplied the biscuit, cracker, and cookie industries since 1893; and Reading Bakery Systems, whose long history of oven manufacturing expertise dates back to 1947.

We offer a complete line of mixing, dough handling and forming, baking, drying, and supplemental equipment that assists our commercial bakery customers with meeting their unique challenges.

Continuous Mixing Solution

Batch mixing can lead to dough variations from one batch to another that negatively affect the consistency of your bread and rolls.Even if the dough exits the batch mixer in perfect condition, changes can occur while it waits for processing.

Continuous mixing solves these problems and offers advantages that include:

  • Improves reliability and repeatability
  • Eliminates mixer loading errors
  • Creates consistent bun and roll shapes
  • Accommodates “within spec” flour variations
  • Minor ingredients can be automatically pre-blended before metering
  • Maximizes water absorption
  • Allows consistent time between mixing and further processing
  • Reduces ingredient cost and improves yield
  • Eliminates dough contamination
  • Reduces labor and energy expenses
  • Easy to learn and operate
  • Dough exits the mixer in usable sized loaves

The HDX (or High Development) Continuous Mixer was explicitly developed to manufacture ultra-high absorption, highly developed dough at low temperatures, such as bread, hot dog and hamburger buns, hard rolls, English muffins, tortillas, and multi-grain products.

This two-stage High Development Continuous Mixer first mixes all ingredients into a uniform mass with a twin-screw mixer. Then, in a separate section, the dough is kneaded to the proper development level with a single-screw mixer. The mixer offers dough production rates of 1,500 to 10,000 kg/hour.

Included in a complete Exact Mixing Continuous Mixing System is the mixer, blender, materials handling and ingredients metering systems, and the control system that monitors and distributes product between them. RBS provides complete systems, testing, and installation supervision for both straight dough and liquid ferment systems.

We can also customize input methods to meet your individual process needs. For example, our gravimetric, Loss-in-Weight technology will provide precise, uninterrupted dry ingredient metering to the mixer. Flowmeters connected to the closed-loop control system will ensure that liquid ingredients will be accurately delivered to the mixer.

Science & Innovation Center

At the heart of RBS is our 30,000 square foot Science & Innovation Center that is located in Sinking Spring, PA. Customers can explore pilot versions of all Exact Mixer models, as well as an automated bulk ingredient handling system, a horizontal dry blender, gravimetric dry feeders, and mass flow liquid systems. Our team will help with testing machinery and processing techniques, developing new products, and producing market samples for testing.
