Is your Toronto bakery looking for a more efficient alternative to batch mixing? Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing systems deliver consistent, scalable dough production to support high-capacity operations. Designed for long-term growth, these complete solutions help stabilize output, improve product quality, and reduce overall manufacturing costs for bakeries across Canada.
Complete Continuous Mixing Systems
At Exact Mixing, continuous mixing is defined as a cohesive system that includes:
- Materials handling, such as silos, bulk bag stations, or dump stations
- Dry ingredient receiving and gravimetric loss-in-weight metering
- Liquid metering using flow meters with closed-loop control
- Continuous mixing that produces a steady dough stream instead of batches
- Integrated controls and operator interfaces that manage and record process conditions
Beyond replacing batch mixers, these mixers reduce downstream handling, minimize dough holding, and eliminate many of the variables that cause inconsistency in batch processing.
Mixers Designed for Your Production Line
With five continuous mixer models, bakeries can choose the equipment that supports their specific production processes and goals:
- The EX is best suited for wheat-based doughs that require gentle kneading and controlled development.
- The HDX is designed for high-development doughs, including buns, breads, and English muffins. Its two-stage design supports strong gluten development and high absorption.
- The MX is the most versatile model, used for cookies, crackers, snacks, batters, icings, and pastes. It is also commonly used for creme-up and pre-blend stages.
- The FX distributes small amounts of liquid into large volumes of powder using atomization, making it ideal for hygroscopic powders and low-moisture mixes.
- The LDX features a multi-stage design commonly used in cookie production, where minors and part of the flour are mixed first, followed by the final addition of flour.
Exact Mixing also offers Hydrobond Technology, which creates rapid, uniform hydration with minimal heat generation. This enables increased output or the use of a smaller, lower-footprint system to achieve the same production rate, reducing mixing time and improving overall efficiency.
The Advantages of Continuous Mixing
For high-capacity bakeries, continuous mixing offers a stronger production model than batch by delivering a steady, controlled dough stream that stabilizes the entire line. Benefits include:
Consistent Quality
Continuous mixing produces dough with uniform properties throughout production. Precisely metered ingredients ensure dough reaches downstream equipment at a consistent condition, improving product uniformity and reducing variation between shifts and runs.
Improved Oven Performance
Consistent dough supports stable heat transfer and predictable baking behavior, resulting in more uniform color, texture, and moisture levels while reducing rejects and rework.
Efficient Scaling
With batch systems, doubling output typically doubles production costs. Exact Mixing systems can double throughput with only about a 20 percent increase in system cost. As production grows, the price per unit declines.
Reduced Energy Use
In side-by-side testing, continuous mixing systems used about 29 percent less energy to achieve the same product yield as batch mixing.
Increased Yield
Uniform dough properties reduce losses from over- or under-mixing, creating more predictable output and increasing the conversion of raw ingredients into sellable finished goods.
Labor Efficiency Through Automation
Recipe-driven automation reduces reliance on manual weighing, batch timing, and operator adjustments. One operator can often manage high-capacity lines, lowering labor costs and stabilizing staffing needs.
Toronto’s Trusted Production Line Partner
Bakeries in Toronto rely on Exact Mixing for the best production line mixers. Rather than selling a standalone mixer, we offer complete continuous-mixing solutions and ongoing support that improve product consistency, reduce energy and labor costs, minimize dough-at-risk, and enable sustainable, high-volume production across Canada.
