Are you ready to say goodbye to baking inconsistencies and production process slowdowns? With advanced continuous mixing equipment from Exact Mixing, you can eliminate downtime, optimize ingredient use, and ensure uniform quality in every batch.
To fully leverage these advantages, it’s important to understand the key components of continuous mixing systems:
-
Ingredient Handling & Metering System
Precise ingredient metering is the foundation of continuous mixing, allowing for accurate, consistent delivery of dry and liquid ingredients throughout the process.
How It Works:
- Uses gravimetric (weight-based) metering to measure and dispense dry and liquid ingredients with an accuracy of ±0.25%, reducing ingredient waste.
- Continuously feeds ingredients at precise rates for uniform hydration and distribution.
- Prevents human errors associated with manual measuring for recipe consistency.
Why It Matters:
Without accurate ingredient metering, bakeries risk inconsistent dough quality, wasted ingredients, and variations in product texture and flavor.
-
Mixing Chamber
The mixing chamber is where ingredient integration, hydration, and dough development take place.
How It Works:
- Features a custom-engineered mixing shaft that applies controlled energy input to blend ingredients without overmixing.
- Maintains consistent ingredient distribution by continuously kneading dough at an optimal speed.
- Works in various configurations based on dough hydration, gluten development needs, and final product requirements.
Why It Matters:
Mixing chambers eliminate overworked or underdeveloped dough and prevent ingredient separation.
-
Temperature Control System
Dough temperature impacts fermentation, gluten development, and texture, making temperature control a vital feature of continuous mixing systems. Exact Mixing equipment optimizes temperature regulation to maintain ideal dough conditions.
How It Works:
- Water-jacketed mixing barrels regulate dough temperature, preventing overheating.
- Shorter mixing times reduce friction-generated heat, maintaining stable dough conditions.
- Real-time temperature monitoring with automated adjustments allows dough to remain at ideal processing conditions.
Why It Matters:
Without temperature control, dough can overheat, leading to poor fermentation, texture inconsistencies, and quality issues in the final product.
-
Dough Discharge & Transfer System
Once the dough reaches the proper consistency, it must be efficiently discharged and transferred to the next production stage.
How It Works:
- The dough exits the mixer at a controlled rate, allowing for a consistent flow into downstream processes.
- Can be integrated with dividers, sheeters, or depositors, depending on the bakery’s specific needs.
- Designed to minimize dough handling, reducing contamination risks and maintaining quality.
Why It Matters:
A smooth and controlled discharge system prevents bottlenecks, maintains continuous production flow, and ensures each portion of dough is the same size and structure.
-
User-Friendly Control System
Advanced automation and control technology make Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing systems easier to operate, monitor, and adjust.
How It Works:
- Touchscreen interfaces allow operators to adjust mixing speeds, ingredient flow, and temperature settings easily.
- Automated alerts and diagnostics help identify issues before they impact production.
- Can integrate with existing bakery software for seamless production tracking and data analysis.
Why It Matters:
User-friendly control systems reduce the need for highly skilled labor, allowing for quick recipe adjustments and consistent production with minimal intervention.
