As leading suppliers of production line equipment for pretzels, Reading Bakery Systems offers the world’s most advanced oven systems from Thomas L. Green and Reading Pretzel, and other state-of-the-art equipment that will help you efficiently and cost-effectively meet your production demands.
Reading Pretzel Machinery Corp., the predecessor of Reading Bakery Systems, manufactured the first pretzel-processing equipment in 1947 and grew into the world leader in high-speed, automatic pretzel equipment.
Many years of patient innovation have led to other problem solvers that are still with us today, such as low-pressure extrusion, ultrasonic cutters, hot cookers, 2-pass baking systems, variable heat-flux ovens and multi-pass dryers.
Low Pressure Extrusion
Pretzel bakeries can create a wide variety of structural and flat extruded shapes on one production line with the Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder, including hard pretzel shapes, sticks, braids, sushki and co-extruded products. The LP Extruder has been completely redesigned to improve safety, efficiency and ease of cleaning.
Guillotine Cutter
Whether you use it as a standalone machine or integrate it into an existing frame and control production system, the Reading Pretzel Guillotine Cutter will cut products before or after baking and can create a pretzel as short as one inch (25 mm) at the press of a button. It can be operated continuously at up to 175 cuts per minute or on a cycle mode at speeds up to 50 cuts per minute.
Pretzel Cooker
The Reading Pretzel Cooker evenly cooks or steams pretzels and pretzel-type products to ensure consistent texture, pH and color prior to the baking process.. It utilizes a dipping bath or waterfall system to apply caustic solution inside the cooker to ensure proper recipe control.
Topping Dispensers
Distribute toppings more consistently with our full range of Omega Dispensers that feature rotating rolls for uniform application of pretzel salt, poppy seeds and sesame seeds, dispensing screens for delivering fine-grain spices and cinnamon, and vibrating trays that dispense toppings such as caraway seeds, nut pieces and seed/spice mixes.
Tunnel Oven
The flexible Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® is available in a number of configurations with different heat transfer modules that allow for greater product variation with a simple profile adjustment. Radiation, convection heating and conduction zones give you repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and the type of heat transfer.
A kiln or dryer module may be combined with an oven module to create a two-pass baking chamber that maximizes your available space. An optional, separate Multi-Pass Dryer provides faster oven speeds, greater production throughput, and more process control.
