What if your pet treat dough could be perfectly mixed, temperature-controlled, and production-ready all in one continuous process?
For pet treat manufacturers, that level of precision and efficiency is standard with Exact Mixing’s continuous mixing systems. Engineered for industrial-scale production, our equipment helps bakeries achieve consistent quality, improved food safety, and lower operating costs across every shift.
Built for Pet Treat Applications
Pet treat doughs vary in texture and composition, from hard, low-absorption biscuits to soft, high-hydration formulas. Exact Mixing designs each system to meet these specific needs, giving manufacturers precise control over every variable that affects product quality.
The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for pet treat applications because it allows dough to be heated to the required kill temperature within ±1°F, then cooled automatically without manual handling or additional transfer steps. This built-in thermal control ensures proper bacterial reduction, improving food safety while maintaining dough consistency.
Consistent Dough and Quality
Uniform dough leads to a uniform product, which is critical for maintaining quality and reducing waste in pet treat production. Unlike batch mixing, which introduces variability from load to load, continuous mixing produces a steady, homogenous dough stream with even temperature, moisture, and texture.
This consistency eliminates product variation, reduces scrap, and ensures smooth downstream forming and baking, improving efficiency and yield. By maintaining tight control over every ingredient feed and mixing parameter, Exact Mixing’s systems deliver the same reliable results shift after shift.
Higher Throughput and Smaller Footprint
Continuous mixing maximizes throughput while minimizing floor space and labor. Instead of large-batch systems that require troughs, chunkers, or transfer pumps, continuous systems feed ingredients directly into the mixer and discharge dough directly to forming.
This streamlined design means fewer pieces of equipment, less manual handling, and lower overall energy use. With throughputs up to 10,000 kg per hour, Exact Mixing equipment meets the demands of high-volume pet treat lines while maintaining precise quality control and traceability.
Sanitary and Easy to Maintain
Every Exact Mixing system is built with stainless steel construction and sanitary design principles for safe, easy cleaning. The enclosed mixing environment reduces contamination risk and simplifies washdown procedures between production runs.
Fewer moving parts also mean less wear, fewer breakdowns, and lower long-term maintenance costs, advantages that make continuous mixing a smart investment for manufacturers focused on uptime and reliability.
Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective
Continuous mixing doesn’t just improve product quality; it also improves your bottom line. By eliminating stop-and-start motor cycles and running at steady-state efficiency, it can reduce total energy use by 15–40% compared to traditional batch mixing.
Combined with lower labor costs, reduced waste, and minimized equipment requirements, continuous mixing delivers a fast return on investment and long-term operational savings for industrial bakeries.
