Baked chips have become a popular alternative to fried snacks, but achieving the ideal crispiness, texture, and flavor requires precision. Consistent dough hydration, even ingredient distribution, and a smooth production flow are essential for maintaining quality at scale. Exact Mixing offers innovative continuous mixers to help manufacturers in Osaka, Japan, produce high-quality baked chips with lower costs and greater reliability.
Why Switch to Continuous Mixing for Baked Chips?
Traditional batch mixing creates inefficiencies such as inconsistent dough quality, production delays, ingredient waste, high labor costs, and frequent cleaning interruptions. Switching to continuous mixing allows manufacturers to streamline production, enhance efficiency, and ensure uniform chip quality.
Here’s how Exact Mixing’s technology optimizes every step of the process:
- Consistent Dough Hydration for Perfect Texture
Achieving the ideal crispiness starts with precise hydration. Automated ingredient metering distributes moisture evenly, eliminating dry spots and overhydration. Real-time monitoring allows instant adjustments, maintaining uniform dough consistency and chip thickness.
- Higher Output with a Steady Production Flow
Unlike batch mixing, which requires frequent stops and restarts, continuous mixing provides a non-stop dough flow. Exact Mixing’s high-capacity systems can handle up to 10,000 kg/hour, meeting the demands of large-scale baked chip production without delays.
- Cutting Ingredient Waste & Reducing Costs
With gravimetric metering technology, ingredient quantities are precisely controlled, preventing overuse and minimizing waste. Automated ingredient handling further reduces spillage, improving material efficiency and cost savings.
- Lower Labor Requirements & Operational Expenses
Fully automated mixing systems handle ingredient feeding, mixing, and dough transfer, reducing reliance on manual labor. User-friendly touchscreen controls simplify operations, allowing quick adjustments with minimal supervision and improving workflow efficiency.
- Faster Cleaning & Less Downtime
Sanitation is faster and easier with Exact Mixing’s streamlined stainless steel designs that prevent buildup. Clean-in-place (CIP) technology automates cleaning, minimizing labor and downtime while maintaining food safety standards.
- Improved Process Control & Product Consistency
Exact Mixing’s advanced automation systems continuously monitor production variables such as ingredient flow, hydration levels, and dough consistency. Built-in sensors and real-time data tracking allow for automatic adjustments, reducing variability and ensuring each batch meets exact texture and quality standards.
Selecting the Right Mixer for Baked Chip Production
Chips require precise hydration and dough consistency to maintain texture, shape, and overall quality. Selecting the right Exact Mixer Model ensures uniform dough processing and optimal production efficiency.
Engineered for low-moisture doughs, the FX Mixer is ideal for baked chips made from potato flakes, rice flour, and grain-based formulations. It expertly handles hydroscopic powders, ensuring even hydration without excess moisture that could impact texture. This mixer helps manufacturers achieve the light, crispy bite that defines high-quality baked chips by preventing uneven baking or sogginess.
The EX Mixer ensures precise hydration for even baking and structural integrity and is ideal for high-hydration doughs used in legumes, multigrain, and whole wheat-based chips. It provides consistent ingredient dispersion and a smooth dough flow, making it well-suited for continuous sheeting and shaping. By maintaining optimal moisture levels, this mixer helps manufacturers achieve the perfect balance of crunch and durability in every batch.
