Continuous Mixing for Crackers
To simplify your mixing process and produce large quantities of uniform dough, take advantage of Continuous Mixing technology and accurately deliver ingredients to the mixer at rates high enough to help you produce a better-quality finished product.
Exact Continuous Mixers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. They are designed using Loss-in-Weight technology – the most accurate feeding technology available. And all metering and mixing procedures are monitored and initiated by the control system, so the operator can always confirm and modify as needed.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer was designed for cracker manufacturers. It mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels uniformly and offers dough production rates of 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Sheeting & Laminating
The 2-roll, 3-roll, or 4-Roll Sheeter produce a hole-free sheet at a uniform density, critical to automated packaging systems after the oven. The thickness of the sheet is controlled by the distance between the rolls (which is adjustable). The rolls compress the dough into a single sheet with consistent characteristics and thickness.
Consider the Thomas L. Green Servo-Cut Sheet Laminator or In-Line Laminator to accurately cut, stack and deliver sheets of dough for unique product textures. The precise and gentle placement of cut sheets provides uniform dough density at both the edges and center of the finished cracker sheet for consistency. Dough sheeters may be installed to the side, or directly above, the Laminator for a compact and efficient production layout.
Cracker Ovens
Bakers in the cracker, cookie, and biscuit industries have relied upon the Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN for over 125 years. The flexible single-pass baking platform is designed to enhance product consistency. Features include:
- Better baking efficiency with uniform quality, color, taste and texture
- Direct gas fired (DGF), convection, and Emithermic (radiant / convection) baking zones
- Repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer
The PRISM OVEN is available as an individual piece of equipment or as part of Reading Bakery System’s modern, high volume Cracker System, which enables you to create straight sheeted, dual sheeted, and laminated crackers. Sheeting systems can range from 600mm to 1.5m in width, and production volumes range from 200-5500 kg/hr depending on oven length, width and product type.
