Continuous Mixing and Dough Handling

Producing large quantities of consistent, uniform dough can be a challenge. Our Exact continuous mixing equipment accurately delivers ingredients to the mixer at rates high enough to help you produce a better-quality finished product.

Cookies, pizza, snacks– For cookies, pizza, snacks, and other products that require the blending of ingredients before adding flour, the Exact MX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice. It is our most versatile mixer and offers dough production rates from 150 to 2,000 kg/hour.

Crackers, pretzels, bagels, pet treats & other wheat-based products– The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for everything but the lowest viscosity powder/liquid mixtures. This mixer offers dough production rates from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour.

Potato snacks, corn chips, rice chips, veggie chips  - The FX Continuous Mixer uniformly mixes doughs with a range of moisture levels and can handle all but the lowest viscosity powder/liquid mixtures. It prevents the creation of wet and dry areas in the final dough. This mixer offers dough production rates From 100 to 1,250 kg/hour.

Buns, breads, rolls, English muffins– The Exact HDX or High Development Continuous Mixer is designed for ultra-high absorption doughs. It offers dough production rates from 1,500 to 10,000 kg/hour. 

If you need a completely automated dough handling system the Reading Pretzel DoughBot precisely portions, conditions, and transports dough to downstream forming equipment. It transports large masses of dough or dough loaves from the mixer to the forming equipment.

Dough Forming

The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure Extruder offers exceptional flexibility by enabling you to create a variety of pretzel shapes, sticks, braids, filled sticks and bread snacks on one production line. Product changeover is as simple as exchanging one compression head and die for another one with a different shape.

If you manufacture rotary moulded snacks, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder helps you efficiently produce high definition, 3-D shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. The interchangeable engraved brass die roll can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multi-shape production.

The Thomas L. Green Sheeter generates a consistent dough sheet, and Gauging Stations ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed by the Rotary Cutting Station.
