What does it take for bakeries in Lima to deliver the same perfect bread, pastries, and cakes every single day? As demand continues to grow, consistency has become just as important as creativity. That’s why many manufacturers are moving beyond traditional batch mixing and adopting continuous mixing equipment to keep their dough quality steady and their production lines running smoothly.
Here’s a closer look at how Exact Mixing’s continuous mixer models help bakeries achieve the balance of precision, efficiency, and reliability to produce Peru’s favorite baked goods at scale:
1. Breads: HDX Continuous Mixer
Bread doughs require strong gluten development, uniform hydration, and well-controlled dough temperature. The HDX Continuous Mixer is designed for high-development doughs such as pan francés, pan de yema, and whole-grain loaves.
Why it works:
- Provides intensive mixing and mechanical energy for optimal gluten strength.
- Maintains consistent dough temperature, preventing over-oxidation.
- Ideal for medium to high-hydration formulas used in soft rolls and artisan-style breads.
- Produces elastic, well-structured dough suited for forming and proofing.
2. Sweet Breads and Pastries: EX Continuous Mixer
Sweet doughs used for conchas, cachitos, chocolatines, and berlinesas require balanced gluten development and precise control of sugar and fat distribution. The EX Continuous Mixer is the ideal choice for these low to medium-development doughs, providing gentle, uniform blending that maintains consistency without overmixing.
Why it works:
- Produces smooth, extensible doughs suited for laminated or enriched pastries.
- Handles moderate fat levels and inclusions like manjar blanco or chocolate.
- Creates uniform dough texture for sheeting, shaping, or frying.
- Maintains precise dough consistency for even proofing and baking results.
3. Cakes and Tortas: FX Continuous Mixer
Cakes and batters such as Torta de Chocolate, Tres Leches, and Torta de Vainilla con Frutas require carefully controlled aeration and precise ingredient blending to achieve a uniform crumb and a stable structure. The FX Continuous Mixer is ideal for aerated products such as cake batters, muffins, and dessert bases, ensuring consistent texture and volume throughout every batch.
Why it works:
- Ensures consistent aeration for a light, uniform cake crumb.
- Maintains stable viscosity for even deposit and bake quality.
- Perfect for producing Tres Leches sponge or rich chocolate cakes.
- Reduces mixing time and variation compared to batch processes.
4. Cookies and Biscuits: MX Continuous Mixer
Cookies and biscuits such as Alfajores, Galletas de Avena, and Polvorones are fat-based doughs that require minimal gluten development. The MX Continuous Mixer provides gentle, uniform blending, evenly combining ingredients while preventing excess heat or overmixing, resulting in consistent texture and quality.
Why it works:
- Maintains dough integrity with inclusions such as oats, nuts, or chocolate.
- Prevents separation of fat and flour, resulting in consistent texture and even bake spread.
- Ideal for dense doughs used in alfajores, shortbread, and oatmeal cookies.
- Ensures smooth, uniform dough flow to the forming and cutting equipment.
5. Savory Baked Goods: EX Continuous Mixer
Savory bakery items like empanadas, Pan con Chicharrón, and Pan de Queso often use short- or semidoughs enriched with fats or fillings. The EX Continuous Mixer provides precise ingredient control and moderate development to achieve consistent handling and structure.
Why it works:
- Produces flexible dough ideal for folding and shaping filled pastries.
- Handles a wide range of hydration levels for empanada and bread doughs.
- Maintains dough plasticity and prevents tearing during sheeting.
- Supports integration with automated forming and filling lines.
