Industrial bakeries can find it challenging to keep up with increasing consumer demand while maintaining product quality. To meet these demands, Exact Mixing developed HydroBond Technology, a cutting-edge approach to high-volume industrial baking production that significantly enhances productivity and ensures uniform dough quality.
What is HydroBond Technology? How Can It Help?
Traditional mixing methods require a long time to incorporate water evenly throughout the dough, leading to texture and hydration inconsistency. HydroBond Technology changes this by instantly hydrating flour and other dry ingredients in the dough mixing process. With this technology, industrial bakeries can do the following:
- Increase Production Efficiency
HydroBond Technology significantly enhances dough mixing time by quickly hydrating the flour, reducing the time required to achieve a consistent dough mixture. This quick dough preparation process allows bakeries to minimize production time while producing consistent products.
- Improve Dough Quality
Quickly and evenly hydrating the flour leads to better dough consistency and quality. With traditional mixing methods, the dough can sometimes end up with uneven hydration, resulting in inconsistent texture, flavor, or appearance in the final baked product. HydroBond ensures all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, producing a homogenous dough every time. This level of consistency maintains customer satisfaction and upholds product standards.
- Boost Production Capacity
By reducing mixing times and increasing production efficiency, HydroBond allows bakeries to handle higher volumes without needing additional equipment or resources. This capability enables businesses to meet increased demand without overhauling their production infrastructure, making HydroBond a cost-effective solution for expanding bakery operations.
- Save Energy and Money
HydroBond Technology reduces energy consumption and lowers operating costs. With significantly shortened mixing time, bakeries can save on energy usage for each batch, leading to long-term cost savings. This increased efficiency also allows bakeries to use their labor and equipment better, optimizing overall production costs.
Applications of HydroBond Technology
HydroBond Technology is versatile and can be applied to a range of bakery products requiring rapid and uniform dry ingredient hydration. Exact Mixing offers five continuous mixing solutions, each designed to reduce mixing times with HydroBond Technology:
- FX Continuous Mixer: This mixer is ideal for fabricated corn and potato chips. It uses HydroBond to quickly hydrate powders and ensure consistency in size, shape, and texture.
- EX Continuous Mixer: Designed for wheat-based snacks, this mixer provides a uniform blending of dough ingredients and flexible moisture levels, ranging from very low to high.
- MX Continuous Mixer: This is the most versatile option for baked goods such as cookies, pretzels, pizza crusts, and cake batters. It uses HydroBond to reduce mixing time.
- LDX Continuous Mixer: This mixer is tailored for dough recipes that require precise timing for adding flour. It ensures that all ingredients are accurately measured and incorporated for a rich dough texture.
- HDX Continuous Mixer: Built for high-hydration doughs like buns, bread, and English muffins, this mixer achieves thorough kneading with its twin-screw and single-screw blades, handling thick dough efficiently.
