Industrial bakeries in Japan need equipment that can keep up with growing demand without sacrificing the texture, flavor, and consistency their customers expect. The stop-start nature of batch mixing often becomes the weakest link, reducing efficiency, increasing costs, and leaving your production line underperforming. Exact Mixing’s industrial continuous mixers offer a modern solution to these challenges. By replacing stop-and-start batch processing with a smooth, automated production flow, your bakery can increase output, reduce waste, and lower operational costs.
Why Switch to Continuous Mixing?
With traditional batch mixing, each cycle requires ingredient loading, mixing, unloading, and cleaning, with downtime in between. This not only slows production but also introduces variability in dough texture, temperature, and hydration.
Exact Mixing’s state-of-the-art continuous mixing equipment eliminates these issues by:
- Metering ingredients precisely into the mixer at a controlled rate.
- Mixing and developing dough in multiple stages for consistent results.
- Delivering a nonstop stream of finished dough directly to forming equipment at the pace your production line requires.
Financial & Operational Advantages
Switching to continuous mixing isn’t just about increasing production speed. It’s about measurable improvements to your operational efficiency and bottom line.
- Increased Production Output
- Continuous mixers operate at rates from 50 kg/hour to over 10,000 kg/hour, efficiently meeting high demand without extra labor.
- The uninterrupted process eliminates batch-related downtime, keeping sheeters, extruders, depositors, and ovens running at full capacity.
- Integrated systems streamline the entire process from mixing to final product formation, eliminating bottlenecks.
- Reduced Ingredient Waste
- Gravimetric (weight-based) ingredient metering ensures ±0.25% accuracy, preventing costly overuse.
- Automated controls adjust in real time to maintain dough consistency, minimizing off-spec product.
- Precision ingredient delivery helps maintain consistent product quality across every batch.
- Lower Labor & Operating Costs
- Automated systems handle feeding, mixing, and dough transfer, significantly reducing manual labor needs.
- User-friendly touchscreen interfaces allow operators to monitor and adjust parameters with minimal training.
- Continuous systems consume less energy per kilogram of dough compared to the frequent start-stop cycles of batch mixing.
- Less Downtime & Maintenance
- Hygienic, stainless steel construction prevents buildup and simplifies cleaning.
- Clean-in-place (CIP) options reduce manual cleaning time between runs.
- Fewer moving parts mean lower maintenance demands and longer service life.
