Mixing Technology
If you are interested in producing a consistent dough and finished product, consider our continuous mixing technology. Exact Mixing offers several mixer models that are appropriate for different types of products. Production volumes range from 50 kg/hour to over 10,000 kg/hour.
One model, the Exact EX Continuous Mixer, is ideal for crackers, pretzels, pizza, pie crusts, sweet goods, pet treats and a variety of other wheat-based snacks. It uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels. This mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Extruded Pretzel and Bread Snack Systems
Our flexible Low Pressure Extruder allows for the creation of pretzel shapes, sticks and other extruded snack products on one production line.
Unique product shapes can be designed into custom made extrusion dies, and product changeover is as simple as exchanging one compression head and die for another one with a different shape. The simple assembly means product changeover takes just minutes. Incorporate the Guillotine Cutter for precision cutting and product separation of sticks and nuggets before baking.
Multi-Crisp Baked Snacks
The Multi-Crisp Baked Snack System allows you to produce a variety of wheat, potato and corn masa flour crisps on one flexible system. The system can produce between 250-1000 kg/hr of finished product, depending on the number of oven sections after the dough sheeting equipment.
After continuous mixing to ensure even moisture distribution throughout the dough and consistent and appealing product textures, and processing through a 2-Roll Sheeter, product pieces are cut by the Rotary Cutter interchangeable die rolls and then baked and dried in a SPECTRUM OVEN® system.
Oven Technology
The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer options in a single modular design, making it ideally suited to extruded pretzels and snacks, baked snack crisps from potato, wheat, multi-grain or corn masa flour doughs, and pet treats. The single-pass SPECTRUM® features an easy-to-use system that gives the operator complete control of oven temperature, humidity, and product bake time.
