Whether your biscuit manufacturing process involves hard or soft dough, the Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN from Reading Bakery Systems can help you produce a first-class product and improve productivity.
The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN has been trusted in the biscuit, cracker and cookie industry for more than a century. It is a flexible single-pass baking platform designed to enhance product consistency. Features include:
- Direct gas fired, convection, and combination radiant/convection baking zones
- Repeatable control of type of heat transfer, time, temperature and humidity
- Precise product moisture removal with operator controlled exhaust, air temperature and circulation velocity
- Improves baking efficiency
- Promotes uniform quality, color, taste and texture
- Non-corrosive steel interior, stainless optional
- Large cleanout oven access doors
- Pre-assembled for quicker installation
- Full stainless steel available when salt, corrosion or high humidity levels are a concern
The PRISM OVEN is available as an individual piece of equipment or as part of the Reading Bakery Systems Hard and Soft Biscuit System which will help you create a variety of sheeted and rotary molded biscuits. Production volumes range from 500 – 2500 kg/hr.
Other equipment in the biscuit production line includes the Thomas L. Green 3-Roll Sheeter for forming hard biscuits. It is designed to be fed manually or automatically from a batch or Exact Continuous Mixer and generates a consistent dough sheet that is ready for additional thickness reduction or lamination.
Thomas L. Green Gauging Stations ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness prior to shape forming. Thickness is generally reduced by a 2:1 ratio from infeed to discharge. Gauge rolls maintain a consistent dough sheet, and dough flow is accurately controlled to maintain dough density, laminations and finished product weights.
The Thomas L. Green Rotary Cutting Station accurately and continuously cuts product shapes out of a single dough sheet and reroutes scrap dough to the dough handling system for reuse. This system can be designed with two die rolls to accommodate complex shape adjustment and can be quickly changed for increased product flexibility.
For soft biscuit forming, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Molder is designed for high definition, three dimensional biscuits, cookies, sandwich cookies, and pet treats. Interchangeable die rolls and lockable casters make the Rotary Molder a portable and versatile part of your production line.
