Dough Mixing Innovations

Our Exact Mixing brand offers several models of Continuous Mixers that solve the common problem of undesirable dough variations during batch mixing by providing a consistent, uniform dough stream to your production line at the same rate it is being used. They include:

  • MX Continuous Mixer, our most versatile mixer, can be used for a wide range of products, including cookies, snacks, muffins, batters, icings, and pastes.
  • EX Continuous Mixer is an excellent choice for low-absorption, stiff, wheat-based doughs, is well-suited to crackers, pretzels, pizza, sweet goods, bagels, and pet treats.
  • HDX Continuous Mixer, explicitly designed for ultra-high absorption doughs, is ideal for buns, bread, rolls, English muffins, and tortillas.
  • FX Continuous Mixer, a high-intensity mixer, can be used to produce potato-, corn- and rice-based products and specialty baked snacks, including fabricated potato chips.
  • LDX Continuous Mixer is ideal for most cookies and any application where ingredients are blended before the flour is added.

Dough Hydration Innovations

Explore our cutting-edge Hydrobond Technology, which instantly blends dry and wet ingredients with unmatched efficiency without adding heat to your dough. 

The dough is mixed on a particle-to-particle basis, based on the principle that mixing smaller amounts of liquid and dry ingredients at one time is more efficient and results in a more uniformly hydrated dough.

Hydrobond Technology can be used with a continuous mixer or a pre-hydration system to mix flour, minors, and water directly into a brew holding tank. It can also be retrofitted to existing systems.

Ingredient Metering Innovations

The ability to accurately and consistently meter ingredients into a continuous mixer is critical to the quality and consistency of the product at the mixer discharge. Exact Continuous Mixers are designed using gravimetric Loss-in-Weight technology – the most accurate feeding technology available. The technology provides precise, uninterrupted dry ingredient metering to the Mixer.
