Sustainability, a crucial concept for the health of our ecosystem, is anchored in energy efficiency—the ability to produce the same output with less energy. This principle is at the core of Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing systems, which have been the market’s most energy-efficient dough-mixing machines since 1994.
Why is Continuous Mixing an Energy Efficient Process?
Before 1994, batch mixers dominated the market for the equipment used to blend dough ingredients. Batch mixers do a good job of blending dough ingredients, but the machines possess a few flaws. One major flaw of batch mixers is that they waste energy. Batch mixers waste energy because each machine must process an entire batch of dough ingredients before another batch starts the process all over again.
Unlike batch mixers, which process one batch of dough ingredients at a time, Exact Mixing’s continuous mixers are designed to feed dough ingredients constantly. This uses the same amount of energy and quadruples the amount of dough each machine processes. The result? Your commercial bakery can efficiently meet the demand for large dough orders.
5 Energy Efficient Continuous Mixer Models
The engineers at Exact Mixing have developed energy-efficient technology incorporated into five continuous mixing systems.
As the perfect machine to develop the dough to form baked goods such as cookies, the LDX Continuous Mixer blends every dry ingredient before adding flour to a dough recipe. All dry ingredients except flour are combined during the creme-up stage before fat cuts into the dry ingredients to pave the way for adding flour.
Recipes that create thick dough to form baked goods like bread, buns, hard rolls, and English muffins benefit from the operation of the HDX Continuous Mixer. This machine is specifically designed to blend dough ingredients at a very low temperature, which increases energy efficiency and lowers your bakery’s energy bills and carbon footprint.
The FX Continuous Mixer is the right machine for transforming powders such as flakes into fabricated corn and potato chips. It consumes the least energy than any of our continuous mixing systems. The continuous mixer model lifts small quantities of moisture into large amounts of powder.
The MX Continuous Mixer’s defining feature is its versatility. This machine can develop dough recipes for baked goods like cookies, pretzels, and pizza crusts. It is the ideal first-stage continuous mixer for dough-bending processes that call for the pre-blend and creme-up stages. The generation of low heat makes this model as energy-efficient as it gets.
The EX Continuous Mixer benefits wheat-based snacks such as thins and crisps. Our engineers designed this machine specifically for dough recipes that incorporate low and high amounts of moisture. Dough ingredients blend without this machine, generating excessive heat.
