As you evaluate fully automated mixers for commercial bakeries, consider Continuous Mixing equipment from Exact Mixing that has been designed specifically to meet the needs of your snack production line.
What is Continuous Mixing?
Continuous Mixers continuously meter ingredients directly into the mixing chamber and generate a continuous stream of mixed product at the exit of the mixer. This process eliminates the unwelcome dough variations caused by batch mixing. One mixer can feed multiple lines and can be operated with less labor and energy than batch mixing.
The benefits of Continuous Mixing include:
- Consistent size, weight, and texture of finished product
- Better integration of minor ingredients
- Uniform dough hydration
- High production rates with a single mixer
- Saves labor and energy compared to batch mixing
- Dough leaves the mixer in usable size loaves
- Clamshell design simplifies sanitizing, maintenance, cleaning, and inspection
- User-friendly control panel
- Excellent traceability
- Improves food safety; eliminates the chance of contamination
- Achieves verifiable kill temperatures (pet foods)
