Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains, Chile is influenced by several types of cultures, including cultures from Asia and Central America. The diverse cultural influences are easily detected when it comes to the baked goods offered to consumers. One of the country’s most commonly sold baked goods is Chilean tortillas, which typically are thicker in texture than their counterparts in other Central and South American countries. Because of the thickness of Chilean tortillas, commercial bakeries must operate a specially designed machine to achieve the highest quality of dough products.
When it comes to achieving high-quality dough for thick Chilean tortillas, businesses in Chile turn to continuous mixers designed and manufactured by Exact Mixing. These mixers offer a range of benefits, including increased production volumes, improved dough quality, and reduced operating costs.
What Are the Advantages of Operating Continuous Mixing Systems?
Before 1994, batch mixers dominated the dough-mixing industry. Although the machines perform adequately, the continuous mixing systems introduced by Exact Mixing in 1994 deliver many advantages.
Batch mixers can process only one batch of dough at a time. Recipes must complete the four stages of the dough-blending process before another match can start. For example, if a dough recipe takes 20 minutes to complete, a batch mixer cannot begin another batch for 20 minutes. Continuous mixers constantly process dough, which helps commercial bakeries to increase production volumes substantially.
More products in less time is just one of the many advantages offered by continuous mixing systems. The engineers at Exact Mixing pride themselves on the precision of our machines. Automation improves the accuracy of measuring ingredients and allows bakeries to monitor each of the four dough blending stages without having to rely on employees. Continuous mixers measure dry ingredients that never deviate more than +/- 0.25 percent from recipe specifications. The result is a decrease in operating costs due to the lower demand for labor. Continuous mixers are energy-efficient, translating into reduced energy costs and a much lower carbon footprint for your industrial bakery in Chile.
What is the Right Continuous Mixer for Chilean Tortillas
Each of Exact Mixing’s five continuous mixing systems specializes in blending the ingredients used for certain types of dough recipes. For Chilean tortillas, we recommend the HDX Continuous Mixer. This machine is not just capable, but designed specifically for creating high-absorption dough at very low temperatures. The result is the capability to develop the thick dough used to form baked goods such as buns, bread, hard rolls, and Chilean tortillas. Production rates for the HDX Continuous Mixer can exceed more than 10,000 an hour.
