Compare Batch Mixing and Continuous Mixing
Batch mixing has existed for much longer than Continuous Mixing. However, the development of better mixers, control systems, and metering devices over the past decade has resulted in accurate, reliable, and easy-to-use Continuous Mixing Systems.
- Material delivery: The delivery systems used to deliver bulk materials to the mixer are the same for batch and continuous mixing. They are delivered from a source such as a silo or super sack unloader to the mixing receiver by pneumatic transfer. The result is that adding raw materials to a Continuous Mixer is more accurate than with a batch mixer in nearly every case. Manual additions can be accomplished with a ribbon blender.
- Material measuring: Sometimes, weighing equipment and controls are required in order to get the “proper size” batch of ingredients to a batch mixer. However, all metering is done at the mixer itself with a Continuous Mixer. This leads to more automation, greater accuracy, and significant cost savings in the long term.
- Cost: Continuous Mixing has been shown to eliminate the problems associated with batch cycles. At the lowest production rates (500 to 1500 pounds per hour), batch mixing is slightly less expensive than Continuous Mixing. Continuous Mixing is usually less costly at higher rates, and the savings increase along with production rates.
- Usable size loaves: Batch mixers generate large “batches” of dough, and you will need additional equipment to resize them. This may cause time delays and unnecessary exposure to the environment, leading to contamination. In comparison, Continuous Mixers produce a continuous stream of dough that the mixer can automatically slice into loaves.
