In Buenos Aires, Argentina, industrial bakeries face a unique set of challenges. Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing equipment offers practical, effective solutions tailored to help local bakeries overcome these hurdles.
- Rising Consumer Expectations: Customers increasingly demand high-quality baked goods, making the local market more competitive than ever.
Exact Mixing Solution: Our systems precisely control ingredient ratios, hydration, and mixing times, resulting in dough with a consistent texture, moisture, and structure. Consistent products help bakeries build and maintain customer trust, differentiate their brand, and stay competitive in a demanding market.
- Variable Demand: Buenos Aires experiences fluctuating demand, especially during holidays, festivals, and daily consumption peaks.
Exact Mixing Solution: Unlike batch mixing, continuous mixing runs non-stop, allowing bakeries to scale production quickly and smoothly. With flexible throughput adjustment through easy control of flow rates and mixer speed, producers can respond to spikes or lulls in demand without compromising product consistency or increasing waste.
- Economic Pressures: Inflation and rising ingredient costs create ongoing financial challenges for bakeries.
Exact Mixing Solution: Automated ingredient metering with high accuracy minimizes overuse and ingredient waste. Improved consistency also reduces rejects and rework, lowering raw material waste and utility expenses, which contribute to tighter cost control and higher profitability despite inflationary pressures.
- Labor Shortages: Finding and retaining skilled workers is difficult, with high turnover rates impacting operations.
Exact Mixing Solution: Advanced automation reduces the need for constant manual oversight. Integrated control systems monitor and adjust ingredient flow, dough temperature, and moisture in real-time, minimizing errors and manual corrections. This enables bakeries to operate more efficiently with fewer skilled workers, reducing dependency on scarce labor and mitigating disruptions caused by turnover or training gaps.
- Strict Food Safety Standards: Argentina enforces rigorous food safety and hygiene regulations that bakeries must comply with.
Exact Mixing Solution: Our equipment features enclosed systems that limit exposure to contaminants, while easy-to-clean designs and Clean-In-Place (CIP) capabilities ensure thorough sanitation with minimal downtime. This supports compliance with stringent food safety laws, helps avoid costly recalls or fines, and builds consumer confidence in product safety and quality.
- Export Market Potential: Buenos Aires is a hub for food exports in South America, presenting growth opportunities for local bakeries.
Exact Mixing Solution: Delivering consistent, scalable dough quality that meets international standards, Exact Mixing supports high throughput without sacrificing quality. Its reliable, precise equipment minimizes risks, ensuring export deadlines and standards are met for business growth.
Components of Continuous Mixing
Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing process integrates multiple components to deliver consistent, high-quality dough efficiently.
- Operator Interface: User-friendly controls for monitoring and modifying metering and mixing procedures, ensuring real-time adjustments and data recording.
- Continuous Mixing: Direct metering of ingredients into the mixing chamber, producing a constant stream of mixed product at the exit.
- Dry Materials Metering: Utilizes gravimetric, Loss-in-Weight technology for precise, uninterrupted dry ingredient delivery.
- Liquid Ingredients Metering: Flow-meters connected to a closed-loop control system ensure accurate delivery of liquid ingredients in coordination with dry components.
- Dry Materials Receiving and Handling: Dry materials are transferred from blending stations or silos to the mixing area, with automated, manual, or semi-automated introduction methods.
- Dry Materials Blending: Pre-blending of dry ingredients enhances consistency, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, with micro-ingredients added directly to the blender for proper distribution.
