When your production targets hit thousands of kilograms of dough per hour, every second counts. Traditional batch mixing, with its stop-and-go cycles, becomes the choke point that slows throughput, inflates labor costs, and leaves equipment sitting idle. Exact Mixing’s high-speed continuous mixers remove that bottleneck. Designed to deliver consistent, ready-to-process dough, they keep your production line moving at full pace from start to finish.
Continuous Mixing Outperforms at High Speeds
At Exact Mixing, we have engineered our continuous mixing systems to meter and blend ingredients in a steady, automated flow, eliminating downtime between loads. Once started, dough moves seamlessly to the next stage without a pause. At scale, this creates a dramatic difference in cost, control, and output.
- Lower Cost per Kilogram of Dough
At high speeds, continuous mixing achieves production gains without proportional increases in equipment or labor costs. Ingredient metering costs stay steady regardless of throughput, so the price per kilogram drops significantly as output rises.
- Minimal Labor for Maximum Output
In batch mixing, increasing volume requires increased labor. High-speed continuous mixing automates feeding, mixing, and discharge, so one operator can oversee a massive output with minimal intervention, monitoring quality and handling alerts while the mixer runs.
- No Extra Dough Handling Bottlenecks
Batch systems discharge large dough masses that must be resized for downstream equipment. Exact Mixing’s continuous mixers feed dough in a uniform rope or consistent chunks, perfectly sized for sheeters, dividers, and depositors, allowing one mixer to feed multiple lines smoothly.
- Consistency at Production Pace
Exact Mixing’s advanced loss-in-weight ingredient metering keeps every mix within ±0.25% accuracy, and automated controls instantly adjust for flour variability, temperature shifts, or humidity changes. This means every kilogram of dough meets the same quality standard, no matter how fast you’re running.
- Cleanliness and Reliability for Maximum Uptime
Our continuous mixers feature hygienic stainless-steel construction, crevice-free surfaces, and optional clean-in-place (CIP) technology for quick sanitation. With fewer moving parts than batch systems, mechanical stress is lower, reducing downtime and keeping your line running longer at top capacity.
