Since 1994, Exact Mixing has offered industrial bakery solutions for the dough used to create a wide variety of baked goods. As a much better alternative to batch mixers, our line of five continuous mixer models fully automates the dough-processing process, from accurately measuring dry ingredients to developing uniformly shaped and textured dough. As the name implies, continuous mixing allows your commercial bakery to produce dough for baked goods at a steady pace.
The bottom line is the continuous mixing process increases production yields, while at the same time reducing operating costs.
Why Are Continuous Mixers Superior to Batch Mixers?
Your customers consider several factors when choosing the right commercial bakery. One of the most important factors concerns consistency. With a fully automated system, continuous mixers deliver a consistent product in size, shape, weight, and texture. On the other hand, manually operated batch mixers create inconsistent batches of dough because of the human error factor.
Automation also means continuous mixers accurately feed ingredients into the mixing chamber, without any interruptions caused by mechanical failures. When your industrial bakery needs to switch equipment to account for a different type of dough, continuous mixers quickly change over to decrease the amount of downtime between batches. Precise measurement of ingredients dramatically reduces the amount of food waste, which represents a type of cost that can turn a profitable operation into a business swimming in a sea of red ink.
Without the need to monitor each step of the dough mixing process manually, your bakery enjoys labor cost savings as well.
Continuous Mixer Models Manufactured by Exact Mixing
Each of the five continuous mixer models manufactured by Exact Mixing produces dough for specific baked goods.
Dough for baked goods that absorb high moisture levels requires the mixing capability of the HDX Continuous Mixer. This mixer is highly effective at processing super-high absorption dough used to create products such as buns, rolls, and loaves of bread at production rates ranging from 1,500 kg to more than 10,000 kg an hour.
Exact Mixing engineers designed the LDX Continuous Mixer to blend all dry ingredients before adding flour right before the development stage. Every dry ingredient mixes together during the creme-up stage, and then mixing elements cut fat into the dry ingredients. Production rates reach as high as 9,000 kg per hour.
Not every process requires the production of high-absorption dough. The EX Continuous Mixer specializes in processing low-absorption dough for thin wheat-based snacks. Because of the thin shape of the snacks, this continuous mixer gently kneads the dough before it reaches the development stage.
As a high-intensity mixer, the FX continuous mixer from Exact Mixing adds moisture to hydroscopic powders to transform the powders into fabricated corn and potato chips. The machine operates at a low energy level to ensure consistency during the entire dough-blending process.
For bakeries that create dough for a wide variety of baked goods, the MX Continuous Mixer represents the right machine to handle each type of production order. The most versatile continuous mixer in our lineup creates the dough used for baked goods such as snacks, cookies, pretzels, and cake batters.
