For commercial bakeries facing production demands of thousands of kilograms of dough per hour, traditional mixing methods often slow throughput, increase labor needs, and introduce inconsistencies in product quality.
Exact Mixing, a leading supplier of advanced continuous mixing equipment, offers high-speed dough mixers designed to keep pace with the most demanding production lines. Capable of producing up to 15,000–20,000 kg/hr, our mixers are built for bakeries that refuse to compromise on efficiency, quality, or profitability.
Continuous Mixing vs. Batch Mixing: The Speed Advantage
When it comes to high-volume dough production, continuous mixing is significantly faster than batch mixing, not just in output per hour, but in how consistently that output is maintained.
A batch mixer must finish a full cycle before producing usable dough, a process that can take 8–15 minutes plus unloading, cleaning, and reloading. Even with multiple units, pauses between batches cause downtime and limit output.
In contrast, Exact Mixing’s continuous mixers deliver a nonstop stream of dough directly to the production line at the same rate it’s being used. Once the system is started, dough flows continuously for as long as production runs. For bakeries producing at least 1,500 kg/hr, this difference translates into:
- Higher Output – Continuous systems can reach 15,000–20,000 kg/hr or more, far exceeding the capacity of even multiple large batch mixers.
- Better Line Efficiency – No downtime between batches means forming, proofing, and baking equipment stays fully utilized.
- Faster Order Fulfillment – Large orders can be produced in a fraction of the time compared to batch mixing.
Simply put, at higher production rates, continuous mixing outpaces batch mixing entirely, making it the clear choice for commercial bakeries focused on speed, quality, and efficiency.
Complete Solutions for High-Capacity Bakeries
High-speed dough mixers like the Exact Mixing HDX and MX models are engineered to handle extreme throughputs without increasing workload. Whether you’re producing soft bread dough, artisan loaves, buns, rolls, crackers, or specialty snacks, these systems maintain the same precision, consistency, and efficiency at 500 kg/hr as they do at 15,000+ kg/hr.
Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing systems are fully integrated solutions that include:
- Dry Materials Handling – Ingredients can be delivered from silos, bulk bags, or small containers, with automated, manual, or hybrid systems to match your operation.
- Dry Materials Blending – Minor ingredients can be pre-blended for better consistency and cost savings.
- Dry Materials Receiving – Ingredients from blending stations and silos are transferred to feeders for precise delivery.
- Ingredients Metering – Gravimetric, loss-in-weight feeders and flow meters ensure exact amounts of dry and liquid ingredients enter the mixer in coordination.
- Continuous Mixing – Ingredients are continuously metered into the mixing chamber, where multi-stage designs ensure complete incorporation and ideal gluten development.
- Operator Interface – Integrated controls monitor and adjust the process automatically, recording data for quality control and future review.
Additional benefits for large-scale bakeries include:
- Scalability – Increase capacity without proportional increases in cost.
- Simplified Dough Handling – Continuous mixing discharges dough in manageable ropes or chunks, eliminating the need for additional dough resizing equipment.
- Less Training Required – One operator can oversee the system, with fewer manual steps compared to batch processes.
- Automatic Variable Control – Real-time monitoring anticipates and corrects inconsistencies before they impact quality.
