In 1994, Exact Mixing introduced a new type of commercial dough blender that revolutionized commercial bakeries’ business management. Continuous mixing systems offered a dramatically different way for bakeries to produce dough and create baked goods. One of our machines is capable of high-speed lifting for low-moisture and hydroscopic powder-type mixtures.
What Are the Advantages of Continuous Mixing Systems?
As the name implies, continuous mixers feed, measure, mix, and develop the ingredients needed to produce dough. The primary issue with batch mixers is waiting until one batch completes each of the four dough-blending steps before starting another batch. Automated continuous mixers allow bakeries to produce dough in much larger quantities because of the constant feeding, metering, mixing, and ingredient development.
Higher production volumes represent just one of many advantages continuous mixing systems have over batch mixers. Our engineers leverage automated technology to prevent the generation of too much heat, which reduces your bakery’s energy consumption. The result is much lower energy costs and a dramatic reduction of your carbon footprint. Automation also helps bakeries decrease labor costs because of automated control and monitoring features. Our open-source software and graphical operator interface improve the accuracy of each dough recipe.
What Are the 5 Continuous Mixing Systems?
Exact Mixing designs and manufactures five continuous mixer models, including one specializing in high-speed lifting for low-moisture and hydroscopic powder-type mixtures.
Which Exact Mixing continuous mixing system does the best job of high-lifting for low-moisture and hydroscopic powder-type mixtures? The answer is the FX Continuous Mixer, which creates the delicate dough to form fabricated corn and potato chips. Our engineers designed this unique machine to lift small quantities of atomized liquids and distribute them evenly over large hydroscopic powders. The dough for each chip leaves the development stage, retaining the same size, shape, weight, and texture.
The MX Continuous Mixer is the right machine to complete dough recipes that include the pre-blend and creme-up stages. It forms the dough used for baked goods such as cookies and pizza crusts. The MX Continuous Mixer blends dry and wet ingredients without generating too much heat.
Because wheat products have digestive health benefits, the EX Continuous Mixer has become popular for bakeries that blend dough recipes to create wheat-based snacks. This machine is also ideal for every dough recipe, including dough recipes involving the lowest viscosity mixtures.
The HDX Continuous Mixer specializes in completing dough recipes that form the foundation for thick baked goods like buns, bread, and English Muffins. This machine combines dry and wet ingredients at low temperatures using a double-screw blade before a single-screw blade gently kneads the dough during development.
Dough recipes that call for flour to be added as the last dry ingredient before the development stage are the specialty of the LDX Continuous Mixer. Every dry ingredient, except flour, blends with fat and is cut into the dry ingredients to enrich the dough’s texture. Precise timing is required for the LDX Continuous Mixer to handle this difficult dough recipe.
Exact Mixing is known for designing and manufacturing continuous mixing systems for just about every type of dough recipe. This includes dough recipes that require high-speed lifting for low moisture and hydroscopic powder-type mixtures.
