Are you looking innovative solutions for cracker manufacturing that will meet your unique requirements? Look no further than Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), where we offer customized equipment solutions that can help you improve your products, streamline processes, and maximize profitability with our industry-leading brands.
RBS offers a wide range of cracker production equipment, including continuous mixing systems designed specifically for the snack cracker industry. Continuous mixing, as opposed to batch mixing, offers several advantages such as complete automation and documentation, reduced lay time, absence of dough troughs, improved consistency in weight, size, and texture, and decreased labor and energy requirements. Our state-of-the-art Exact EX Continuous Mixer can uniformly blend products with diverse dough moisture levels, while achieving dough production rates ranging from 100 to 10,000 kg per hour.
Our innovative products include Thomas L. Green Sheeters that come in 2-roll, 3-roll, or 4-roll configurations, capable of producing sheets without any holes and with a consistent density, which is crucial for automated packaging systems following the oven. Moreover, we offer the Thomas L. Green Servo-Cut Sheet Laminator that precisely cuts, stacks, and dispenses dough sheets, enabling the creation of distinct product textures while ensuring uniform density throughout the edges and center of the final cracker sheet, ensuring consistency.
The comprehensive cracker systems from RBS feature Gauging Stations that facilitate a gradual decrease in sheet thickness before the shape cutting process takes place at the Rotary Cutting Station. For dividing serrated cracker sheets with precision, there is a Cracker Breaker available. In addition, our Omega Dispensers can effectively disperse a variety of toppings and are equipped with leveling mechanisms that minimize material bridging and clumping.
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a versatile baking solution that provides a single-pass baking platform for a variety of products, such as crackers, hard biscuits, soft biscuits, cookies, snack cakes, and English muffins. This oven offers three distinct zones, including Direct Gas Fired (DGF) zones, Emithermic (Radiant/Convection) zones, and Convection zones, allowing for maximum flexibility. When baking products that require consistency, using both DGF and convection zones is recommended. This approach enables product development and "cooking" in the direct gas fired zone, while moisture removal and balanced coloring are achieved in the convection zone. Operators can control the exhaust, air temperature, and circulation velocity to achieve optimal moisture removal and ensure maximum quality assurance.
