Continuous mixing is changing the way modern bakeries operate. Instead of working in batches, production becomes a steady, controlled process that improves consistency and keeps everything moving. As demand grows and expectations stay high, more manufacturers are turning to systems that offer better control, efficiency, and flexibility across the line.
With more than 25 years of experience, Exact Mixing has established itself as a leader in continuous mixing innovation. As part of Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), we design and deliver industrial continuous mixing systems used by large food manufacturers worldwide to produce consistent, high-volume products.
Advanced Mixing Equipment
At Exact Mixing, our engineering approach focuses on fully integrated system design, combining process, mechanical, and controls engineering into one cohesive mixing solution. Using advanced modeling and application-specific customization, each system is built to deliver consistent performance, efficient operation, and reliable results in real production environments.
Materials Handling
Ingredient delivery is designed to work in sync with the mixing process, keeping flow consistent from start to finish. Flexible input methods and automated handling simplify operations, while precise micro-ingredient incorporation supports accuracy where it matters most. Pre-blending and controlled liquid delivery further stabilize the process, helping reduce variability before mixing even begins.
Ingredient Metering
Consistency at the mixer starts with precise metering. Loss-in-weight systems continuously feed dry ingredients with high accuracy, while flow-metered liquids are automatically balanced through closed-loop controls. This coordination keeps formulations on target and ensures reliable, repeatable results.
Safety and Sanitation
System design prioritizes both operator safety and cleanability. Automated operation limits exposure to moving components, while interlocked access points and approved materials protect both people and product. Features like clamshell access and quick-disconnect connections make cleaning faster and more manageable between runs.
Control Systems
Our control systems are built in-house to simplify operation, improve consistency, and enhance safety. Operators have full visibility and control through a centralized, touchscreen interface. Recipe-based automation simplifies setup and ensures consistency across runs, while real-time data allows teams to monitor performance and respond quickly when needed. The result is a more stable process with less reliance on constant manual input.
Hydrobond Technology
Exact Mixing’s Hydrobond Technology focuses on one of the most critical steps in continuous mixing: hydration. Rapidly and evenly combining dry ingredients with liquids before they enter the mixer, it ensures consistent distribution and a more uniform starting point for dough development.
This level of control improves overall mixing efficiency by reducing mixing time, minimizing energy input, and enabling more compact system designs. By optimizing hydration upfront, Hydrobond Technology enhances dough consistency, reduces variability, and supports more efficient, high-volume production.
As part of our broader approach to innovation, the Hydrator demonstrates how targeted process improvements can drive measurable gains in performance, efficiency, and product quality.
RBS Science & Innovation Center
The Reading Bakery Systems Science & Innovation Center is a pilot-scale facility where bakeries can test and refine Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing solutions before full-scale implementation. Designed to mirror real production, it allows trials with customer ingredients to validate product quality, performance, and efficiency.
The facility supports full process testing, from ingredient handling and mixing to forming and baking, with multiple Exact Mixer Models and batch systems available for direct comparison. Integrated data and quality tools provide clear insight into consistency, throughput, and energy use.
Beyond validation, the center supports product development and formulation optimization. Proving out both process and equipment in a production-like environment helps reduce risk and ensures each solution is aligned with operational goals before investment.
Move Forward with Confidence
Continuous mixing brings a more controlled, efficient approach to high-volume baking, helping U.S. manufacturers produce consistent results at scale. Exact Mixing continues to push that innovation forward with systems designed for real-world performance and long-term reliability.
