Manufacturing the perfect hamburger buns is a process that requires precision, efficiency, and equipment you can rely on. At Exact Mixing, our state-of-the-art commercial mixing equipment delivers consistent quality so that every bun meets the highest texture, structure, and shelf life standards.
Engineered for Excellence
The HDX (High Development Continuous Mixer) was carefully engineered to manufacture high-absorption doughs, making it ideal for hamburger buns. The HDX ensures optimal gluten development and consistency by maintaining low dough temperatures during mixing, resulting in buns with the desired texture and shelf-life.
The mixer operates with a two-stage mixing process:
- Mixing Stage: A twin-screw mixer combines All ingredients into a uniform mass. This step allows all components to be thoroughly blended, setting the stage for high-quality dough.
- Development Stage: The dough is kneaded to the proper development level with a single-screw mixer. This step ensures the dough characteristics needed for premium hamburger buns are achieved.
Flexible Features
The HDX Mixer is designed with versatility in mind, easily integrating into and enhancing existing production lines. Its advanced features allow for optimized performance and simplified operation:
- Custom Ingredient Metering: Delivers precise, automated ingredient flow directly into the mixer, resulting in consistent dough quality and reducing manual labor. The system can also be adjusted to accommodate changes in formulations or ingredient ratios, offering greater flexibility for product innovation.
- Scalable Capacity: The HDX Mixer can handle dough production rates from 1,500 to 10,000 kg per hour. It adapts to production demands without compromising consistency. Its scalable design supports bakeries of all sizes, from mid-scale operations to high-capacity industrial lines.
- Temperature Control Systems: The liquid-jacketed and insulated mixer barrels maintain precise dough temperatures for optimal gluten development. The temperature control system can be fine-tuned to meet recipe requirements for consistent product results.
- Advanced Operator Interface Controls: The user-friendly, menu-driven control system simplifies monitoring and adjusting mixing parameters. These controls also integrate with other production equipment, streamlining production and minimizing errors and downtime.
- Compact, Modular Design: The HDX Mixer’s compact design and modular components can fit into existing production lines or new layouts. Its modularity also simplifies maintenance and upgrades, keeping production running smoothly with minimal interruptions.
Production Perks
In addition to its state-of-the-art design and adaptability, the HDX mixer offers:
- Enhanced Food Safety: By keeping the dough enclosed during mixing, continuous mixers significantly reduce environmental exposure, lowering the risk of contamination and meeting stringent food safety requirements.
- Efficient Maintenance: The mixer’s innovative clam-shell design provides easy access for cleaning and maintenance, helping minimize downtime and extend the equipment’s lifespan.
- Reduced Waste: Precise ingredient metering and mixing reduce overuse, spillage, and bad batches. This cuts down on ingredient waste and contributes to cost savings and improved sustainability in your production process.
- Lower Labor Costs: Advanced automation minimizes the need for frequent manual intervention. By using less labor to operate and monitor the system, bakeries can significantly reduce workforce expenses.
- Higher Production Rates: Exact Mixing equipment is designed for uninterrupted operation, allowing production lines to run at full capacity without delays between batches. This boosts productivity and helps meet the demands of high-volume orders.
