In 1994, Exact Mixing revolutionized how bakeries meet production orders for the dough used to create baked goods. Batch mixers were standard bearers for bakery equipment until Exact Mixing introduced a line of continuous mixing systems. Unlike a batch mixer, a continuous mixing system can constantly feed, measure, mix, and develop the ingredients that define dough recipes. The result is much higher production volumes, which helps your business grow revenue. For your business, the question is different than which type of dough-blending machine to operate. Instead, selecting the best continuous mixer is your priority.
What Are the Advantages of Continuous Mixers?
Achieving higher production volumes is just one of the advantages of continuous mixing systems.
Automated technology is the most influential feature that makes continuous mixing systems far superior to machines. Automation during the four stages of the dough-blending process helps your bakery maximize the ingredients used to make every dough recipe. By accurately measuring ingredients, you cut down on food waste, which leads to lower food costs. The clamshell design of our mixing chambers also reduces food waste. Automation helps you lower labor costs since you do not need to assign workers to control and monitor the four stages of the dough-blending process.
Proprietary Hydrobond Technology improves the quality of your dough by preventing the development of surface imperfections such as cracks and lumps. Small amounts of moisture attach to large quantities of dry ingredients on a particle-by-particle basis to achieve the highest quality of dough. Mixing the correct amount of moisture also ensures every dough recipe remains consistent in size, shape, weight, and texture. All of the solid dry ingredients receive the same amount of liquid ingredients.
5 Continuous Mixing Systems
Exact Mixing offers five options for selecting the best continuous mixer.
The most versatile machine in the Exact Mixing lineup finishes every production order without generating too much heat. It is the right option for dough recipes that create baked goods such as cookies, pretzels, and icings.
Hydrobond Technology is the most critical automated technology that turns the FX Continuous Mixer into a highly efficient machine. Atomized liquids lift into hydroscopic powders to produce the dough used to form fabricated corn and potato chips. Each chip retains a uniform shape while remaining the same size throughout an entire batch of chips.
The EX Continuous Mixer specializes in developing the dough to create thin, wheat-based snacks. Moisture levels range from very low to very high, depending on the type of wheat-based snack. This machine can quickly ramp up production orders to meet customer demand for healthy wheat products.
The HDX Continuous Mixer helps dough develop to form thick baked goods like buns, bread, and hard rolls. This machine helps dough recipes absorb large quantities of moisture to ensure thorough hydration. It is also an energy-efficient machine that helps your bakery lower energy bills and carbon footprint.
The precise timing of adding flour as the last dry ingredient before dough enters the development stage defines the superior performance of the LDX Continuous Mixer. Every accurately measured dry ingredient is cut with fat before the machine adds flour to create a dough that is highly rich in texture.
