Mixing Equipment
Depending on your level of automation, Reading Bakery Systems offers batch and continuous mixing systems. Continuous mixing offers more consistent dough to your production line and requires less floor space.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for both soft, chewy and hard, crunchy pet treats. It uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels. This mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.
Thomas L. Green Vertical Spindle Mixers feature mixing paddles that are configurable for different products and mixing actions and are rated for capacities up to 2,200 pounds. All mixer functions are controlled from one location, including mixing head movement, paddle operation and mix time.
Forming Equipment
For rotary molded pet treats, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Molder efficiently produces high definition, three dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. The interchangeable die roll is made of engraved brass and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multiple shape production.
For extruded and co-extruded products, the Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder will enable you to create a variety of structural, flat and filled extruded and co-extruded shapes and sticks. It provides a more flexible, cost-effective alternative to conventional dough forming and sheeting systems for customers who produce a variety of pet treats.
For sheeted pet treat products, the Thomas L. Green Sheeter will create a consistent dough sheet and Gauging Stations will ensure accurate thickness prior to forming. Form scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes with the Rotary Cutting Station.
