Baking the perfect baguettes and ciabattas requires reliable, consistent equipment. That’s why Exact Mixing, a leading international supplier of industrial bakery equipment, offers cutting-edge production line systems and expert support.
Continuous mixers create a smooth, uninterrupted process where ingredients are gradually fed into the mixer. Precise ingredient and hydration control lead to optimal gluten development, crucial for achieving the desired airy texture of ciabatta or the crisp crust of baguettes. In addition to consistently producing high-quality, uniform dough, consistent, high-quality dough, Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing systems:
- Minimize Downtime: Constant production flow eliminates the interruptions associated with batch mixing, often requiring cleaning and resetting between batches.
- Enhance Production Efficiency: By automating the mixing process, bakeries can achieve faster production speeds, enabling them to meet higher demand without sacrificing quality.
- Optimize Quality Control: Monitoring mixing parameters in real time helps bakeries maintain the desired characteristics of baguettes and ciabattas.
- Adapt and Scale: Continuous mixing systems can quickly adapt to changing production volumes, making it easy for bakeries to scale up operations as needed.
Beyond the Mixers
The importance of precision extends beyond just mixing in the production of baguettes and ciabattas. Exact Mixing facilitates efficient management of mixing and delivery processes through:
Precision Ingredients Metering
Accurate ingredient metering is crucial for producing high-quality baguettes and ciabattas. Consistent hydration levels and precise ingredient ratios achieve the desired texture and flavor profiles. For dry materials, Loss-in-Weight technology continuously compares the set point and actual values to maintain accuracy. Metering pumps and flow meters are used with closed-loop controls for similar precision for liquid ingredients. Both systems trigger alarms if discrepancies occur, ensuring reliable, high-quality mixing.
Intuitive Control Systems
Operator interfaces facilitate integrated mixing and delivery management. Exact Mixing systems continuously monitor and control all metering and mixing activities, enabling operators to confirm or adjust parameters as needed quickly. Each step is logged for future reference, and the menu-driven recipe controls allow operators to select a recipe for automatic mixing. This intuitive design streamlines workflows, enhances consistency, and allows operators to oversee production efficiently.
Downstream Equipment
Complete continuous mixer systems include equipment for mixing through baking and supporting various dough-forming processes needed for baguette and ciabatta production. Automated rework systems efficiently handle and process dough that may require adjustments or corrections, allowing bakeries to reclaim and reprocess dough that didn’t meet quality standards, reducing waste, and optimizing resource usage.
Hands-On Innovation
The RBS Science & Innovation Center is a state-of-the-art facility for bakeries to test and refine their products and processes using the latest Exact Mixing technology. It provides access to a full range of equipment and expert guidance, allowing bakeries to experiment with ingredients, recipes, and production techniques to optimize their operations. The center enables companies to explore continuous mixing solutions and other innovations in a controlled, supportive environment.
