Continuous mixing technology eliminates dough variations and produces consistent results all day, every day. Learn more about the advantages of Continuous Mixers for your industrial bakery from Reading Bakery Systems (RBS).
Reading Bakery Systems, headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, is the leading manufacturer of innovative, reliable, and high-volume processing systems for the global food manufacturing industry, focusing on baked snack production systems.
Simplify Your Process with Continuous Mixing
Batch mixing has been the mixing method in the bakery industry for many years. However, recent technologies have made it possible to produce up to 20,000 pounds of dough per hour with the help of modern bulk handling, metering and mixing technologies.
Continuous Mixing can now accurately deliver raw materials to the mixer at rates high enough to meet the demand of your mixing process. Continuous mixers come in many sizes and are available based primarily on dough moisture levels or dough mixing stages.
Our Exact Continuous Mixers come in various sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. They feature the most accurate feeding technology available – Loss-in-Weight technology – and all metering and mixing procedures are monitored and initiated by a control system so the operator can modify as necessary. Models include:
- The Exact Mixing MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer and is suitable for many products, including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes.
- The Exact Mixing HDX or High Development Continuous Mixer is perfect for buns, bread, rolls, English muffins, tortillas, and other ultra-high-absorption products.
- The Exact Mixing EX Continuous Mixer uniformly mixes products with different dough moisture levels and is perfect for gently kneading low-absorption doughs for cookies, crackers, pretzels, and bagels, as well as high-absorption bread, buns, and pizza doughs.
- The Exact Mixing FX Continuous Mixer is ideal for hydroscopic powders and other low moisture mixtures. It’s a high-intensity mixer that is well-suited to potato-, corn- and rice-based products and specialty baked snacks, such as fabricated potato chips.
- The Exact Mixing LDX Continuous Mixer is the perfect solution for product lines that include cookies or other products that require a two-stage mixing process.
