Continuous Mixing Technology

To simplify your mixing process and produce large quantities of uniform dough, take advantage of Continuous Mixing technology and accurately deliver ingredients to the mixer at rates high enough to help you produce a better-quality finished product.

Exact Continuous Mixers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. They are designed using Loss-in-Weight technology – the most accurate feeding technology available. And all metering and mixing procedures are monitored and initiated by the control system, so the operator can always confirm and modify as needed.

Exact Continuous Mixers include:

  • Exact MX Continuous Mixer is our most versatile mixer and is well-suited to a wide range of products including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes.
  • Exact EX Continuous Mixer is the ideal choice for low-absorption, stiff, wheat-based doughs, such as crackers, bagels, pretzels, pizza, sweet goods and pet treats.
  • Exact FX Continuous Mixer is a high-intensity mixer that can be used to produce potato-, corn- and rice-based products and specialty baked snacks, such as fabricated potato chips.

To make your mixing process more efficient, explore our cutting-edge Hydrobond Technology, which instantly hydrates dry materials without adding excess heat to your dough.

Our Latest Turnkey Production Systems

RBS’ extrusion-based Fried Potato Ring System is ideal for the flexible, efficient, high volume production of extruded fried snacks, such as the popular fried potato ring product, and is capable of producing 200-1000 kg/hr of finished product.

RBS and Incomec, a Belgium-based manufacturer of popping/puffing equipment, have partnered to supply customers in the U.S. and Canada with specialized popped snack equipment. Our Popped Snack System will include supply a Pellex C+ or Cerex Processor depending on the final product you wish to produce.

The modular Stackable Fried Chip System is designed to reliably and efficiently produce fabricated stackable chips. The single-reduction, 2-Roll Sheeter produces a continuous dough sheet that is discharged directly onto the Rotary Cutter infeed conveyor.  The die roll on the Rotary Cutter separates the dough sheet into distinct shapes.
