Does your bakery mix dough to satisfy the craving customers have for a wide variety of cookies? If the answer is yes, Exact Mixing has introduced two continuous mixer models that process the dough used to form baked goods such as cookies. Founded in 1994, Exact Mixing started designing and manufacturing industrial mixing equipment for cookie production that surpasses the performance of batch mixers. With the help of our parent company Reading Bakery Systems, Exact Mixing allows our customers to benefit financially from an automated system that reduces food, labor, and energy costs. Your bakery also improves product consistency and dramatically increases the amount of dough processed.
What is Continuous Mixing?
Batch and continuous mixers follow similar dough-blending processes. First, dry ingredients reach the mixing area. Second, the system measures each dry ingredient before placing all dry ingredients into a chamber. Third, the dry ingredients blend together with the help of a certain amount of moisture. Finally, the blended ingredients leave the mixing system after the ingredients develop into dough.
Batch mixers treat each of the four primary stages separately, which means one batch of dough is developed before a second batch of dry ingredients enters the measuring area. This process consumes a considerable amount of time, as well as requires constant monitoring by a team of employees. Continuous mixers constantly feed dry ingredients into a system that integrates every dough-mixing stage into one seamless operation. The delivery, measuring, mixing, and developing stages operate as one uninterrupted process.
Automation represents the key feature of continuous mixers. From the delivery of dry ingredients to the gentle kneading of hydrated dough, continuous mixers operate with advanced automated technology to help our customers lower operating costs, while at the same increase the production volume for each order. Automation also improves the accuracy of the measuring system to within plus or minus 0.25 percent of recipe specifications. Your bakery saves money on labor and energy costs, as well as produces dough that remains consistent in size, shape, weight, and texture.
Two Types of Industrial Mixing Equipment for Cookie Production
Exact Mixing designs and manufactures five continuous mixer models, with two of our models capable of easily handling large volumes of orders of dough for cookie production.
Our EX continuous mixer blends dry ingredients that eventually develop into low to mid-absorption dough for deposited, wire-cut, and rotary-molded cookies. A forceful mixing mechanism quickly secures the strong bonds required to connect gluten strands. Because of high processing speeds that can be more than 7,500 kg per hour, the EX continuous mixer operates at the right temperatures according to different recipe specifications.
The LDX continuous mixer not only processes the dough used to create cookies, but the versatile machine also handles the dough used to create other types of baked goods. Dry ingredients mix together during the creme-up stage before flour enters a mixing chamber to complete the blending process. A special mixing device cuts fat into the dry ingredients right before each batch enters the development stage for gentle kneading. This machine has the power to achieve dough production rates that exceed 9,000 an hour.
