Bakeries operate on razor-thin profit margins, especially when supply chain disruptions prevent bakeries from receiving the products they need to complete dough recipes. You can cut corners to decrease costs, but that strategy typically leads to selling inferior products. To survive with razor-thin profit margins, use industrial snack manufacturing equipment for high-volume production. To achieve this goal, you must transform your bakery by installing the continuous mixing systems designed and manufactured by Exact Mixing.
We opened our first manufacturing plant in 1994 to offer bakeries an alternative to batch mixers. Although batch mixers dominated the dough processing industry, many bakeries turned away from batch mixers for the much higher production rates delivered by continuous mixing systems. With the financial and logistical support of our parent company Reading Bakery Systems, Exact Mixing eventually expanded its line of continuous mixers to include five distinctly different models.
What Are the 5 Continuous Mixing Systems for Snacks?
The five continuous mixers designed and manufactured by Exact Mixing are the ideal industrial snack manufacturing equipment for high-volume production.
Because of the health benefits of eating wheat-based food products, demand for the EX Continuous has skyrocketed in recent years. This machine specializes in blending dough ingredients for wheat-based snacks and crackers. Gentle kneading during the development stage of the dough-kneading process results in wheat-based snacks and crackers that never develop surface imperfections such as cracks and lumps.
The most challenging dough recipe to finish involves creating the super-thin dough used to make fabricated corn and potato chips. Designed for this type of recipe, the FX Continuous Mixer perfects the art of adding critical moisture levels before the mixing stage. A super-fast mixing shaft lifts hydroscopic powders to blend thoroughly with atomized liquids that move around the mixing chamber.
As our lineup’s most versatile dough-blending machine, the MX Continuous mixer blends the dough ingredients that eventually form baked goods such as cookies and cake-style donuts. Dry ingredients combine with sold fat to create a uniform dough mass during a process that does not generate excessive heat. The MX Continuous Mixer works seamlessly with the intrusion equipment attached at the exit point by our engineers.
Our engineers designed the LDX Continuous Mixer to process every dry ingredient before adding flour to the mixing chamber. The dry ingredients mix during the creme-up phase before flour is added during the pre-blend phase. This machine is perfect for creating the dough used to make various cookies.
Considered a high-development machine, the HDX Continuous Mixer works best with ultra-absorbent dough that forms a uniform mass for thick baked goods like bread, buns, and hard rolls. The precision of the development stage ensures every dough recipe comes out of the exit consistent in size, shape, weight, and texture.
Get the Most Out Of Your Bakery
Exact Mixing is known for developing industrial snack manufacturing equipment for high-volume production. Proprietary automated technology allows our machines to process dough at much higher production rates than the production rates achieved by batch mixers. We invite you to the Reading Bakery Science and Innovation Center in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, to determine which of the five continuous mixing systems is right for your bakery.
