For example, consider our Cracker Systems, Hard & Soft Biscuit Systems, Pretzel & Snack Systems, Pet Treat Systems, and other modern, high volume systems.
Continuous Mixing Technology
Continuous Mixing is the process of continuously metering ingredients directly into the mixing chamber to generate a continuous stream of mixed product at the exit of the mixer. The mixing may be done in stages to ensure all ingredients are incorporated properly.
The advantages of continuous mixing include:
- Complete automation
- High production rates with one mixer
- More precise delivery of raw materials to the mixer
- Consistent finished weight, size and texture
- Recipe control and repeatability
- Uniform dough hydration
- Quick and easy sanitation
- Can be operated with less labor and energy than batch mixing
Exact Continuous Mixers are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour. Models include:
Exact EX Mixer – Gentle kneading for wheat-based products. It uniformly mixes products where dough moisture levels range from very low to very high, and does not generate excessive heat.
Exact HDX Mixer – High development mixing for ultra-high absorption doughs. It is ideal for products such as buns, breads, English muffins and similar products, and is designed to manufacture highly developed dough at low temperatures.
Exact MX Mixer – Intense mixing action for products requiring high energy mixing. This Continuous Mixer is ideal for high moisture / high fat content doughs such as icings, cremes, batters, fillings and low viscosity mixtures.
Baking & Drying Technology
When you manufacture biscuits, cookies or crackers, the Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is an excellent choice. The single-pass baking platform offers direct gas fired (DGF), convection, and Emithermic (radiant / convection) baking zones and is designed to improve consistency and promote uniform product quality, color, taste and texture.
Customers who manufacture pretzels, bread snacks, crisps, and potato snacks will benefit from the variety of heat transfer options (radiation, convection and conduction) in the modular Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN®.
The baking platform features operator-controlled air temperature, circulation speed, exhaust, and moisture removal for reliable, consistent baking. Add a separate optional SPECTRUM Multi-Pass Dryer to increase oven speed, production throughput and process control.
