For years leading up to 1994, batch mixers represented the standard for commercial bakeries. With dependable and low-cost investments, batch mixers never faced competition from other industrial mixer brands. That changed in 1994 when Exact Mixing introduced the first continuous mixing system. Unlike batch mixers, a constant mixing system feeds, measures, mixes, and develops the ingredients for a variety of dough recipes—constant production results in much higher yields, which translates into more revenue for your commercial bakery.
Many bakeries are installing our industrial mixing equipment for high-volume bakery production.
What Are the Most Popular Features of Continuous Mixing Systems?
Higher production yields are just one of the many features of continuous mixing systems that make them the preferred machines by an overwhelming number of industrial bakeries. In addition to much higher yields, fully automated continuous mixers help your business reduce costs. Keeping costs in line enhances profit margins in an era of rapidly rising commodity prices.
Automated continuous mixing systems accurately measure the ingredients used to create dough recipes—accurate metering results in less food waste, which translates into lower food costs. Automation also allows you to reassign employees to other jobs in the bakery since you no longer need to use labor resources to control and monitor the dough-blending process. Our automated continuous mixing systems also prevent the cross-contamination of ingredients.
High efficiency in kneading intensity and dough development ensures consistent dough size, shape, weight, and texture. You also benefit from dough that never displays surface imperfections like cracks and lumps. Moisture attaches to dry ingredients particle-by-particle to ensure product quality and consistency. Advanced technology gives continuous mixers an advantage over batch mixers because of our open-source software and graphical operator interface.
Exact Mixing offers continuous mixing systems in three designs to accommodate different space requirements. The short version leaves behind the smallest carbon footprint. Because the motor sits under the gearbox, this version of a continuous mixer uses more vertical space than floor space. The low continuous mixer is more extended, but it only takes up a little vertical space. We designed the hanging mixer so as not to make contact with the floor, which makes it easy to clean and maintain.
Exact Mixing offers five continuous mixing systems:
- HDX Continuous Mixer
- LDX Continuous Mixer
- FX Continuous Mixer
- EX Continuous Mixer
- MX Continuous Mixer
How Do I Know Which Continuous Mixer is Right for My Commercial Bakery?
The team at Exact Mixing wants our customers to be confident that they choose the right machine for their commercial bakeries. We present live demonstrations of each continuous mixing system at the Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania center. You can learn more about how our continuous mixers work and use the Continuous Mixing Calculator to determine which model meets your dough production needs.
The dedicated areas where we showcase our machines also present information on maximizing the performance of continuous mixing systems. Our team of engineers helps you learn more about automated bulk handling systems and how to operate gravimetric dry feeders and horizontal dry blenders. You can expect to discover how our proprietary Loss-in-Weight Technology is the most accurate type of ingredient metering technology.
