Headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, Reading Bakery Systems is a world leader in the manufacture of commercial bakery equipment. Our experience with pet food comes from more than a century of developing proven solutions in the global snack food industry.

Dough Mixing Solutions

Create a broad range of pet food or pet treats with either batch or Continuous Mixing, depending on your level of automation.

Continuous Mixing offers many advantages over batch mixing, particularly in the ability to produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy. The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is suitable for both soft/chewy and hard/crunchy pet food products.

Dough Forming Solutions

Whether your production involves pet foods that are rotary molded, extruded, sheeted, or in stick or nugget form, Reading Bakery Systems has a solution that will meet your needs.

The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables customers to produce consistent and accurate structural, flat and filled extruded shapes and sticks. Fit it with different compression heads and dies to expand your product range.

The single-blade Reading Pretzel Guillotine Cutter cuts products uniformly before or after baking, allowing the operator to create a product size as short as one inch (25 mm) at the press of a button.

The Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder produces high definition, three dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. Engraved brass die rolls are interchangeable and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multiple shape production.

The Thomas L. Green Sheeter creates a consistent dough sheet for sheeted pet foods and treats, and Gauging Stations ensure accurate thickness prior to shape forming. Scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes can be formed with the Rotary Cutting Station.

Baking and Drying Solutions

The flexible Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers a variety of heat transfer combinations in a single modular design. This single pass convection baking platform is designed for balanced and consistent baking of pet treats with operator controlled exhaust, air temperature, circulation velocity, and moisture removal rate.

Add an optional SPECTRUM Multi-Pass Dryer for faster oven speeds, greater production throughput, and more process control. The Dryer efficiently reduces product core moistures improving overall quality and storage characteristics.
