Continuous mixer for cookie dough
Achieve consistent dough quality and streamline your production with a continuous mixing solution that optimizes ingredient integration and reduces batch variations, enhancing efficiency and product uniformity in high-speed bakery operations.
Precisely Mixes and Meters Ingredients for Dough Production
The LDX Continuous Mixer from Reading Bakery Systems offers a transformative approach to dough production by eliminating batch-to-batch variations through its continuous mixing capability. This equipment utilizes a two-stage mixing process where ingredients are first combined in a “creme up” stage, ensuring fats are thoroughly integrated before flour is added in the final mixing stage. Its applications span cookies, pastries, snacks, and more, making it versatile for various food and bakery industries.
With a dough production capacity of up to 9,000 kg/hour, the LDX Mixer ensures high-speed, automated operations tailored to large-scale commercial demands. The mixer features gravimetric, loss-in-weight ingredient metering for precise dry ingredient integration and flow-meter controlled liquid delivery. Its design optimizes food safety as dough is mixed in a closed environment, reducing exposure risks.
Constructed with FDA-approved materials in the product zone, the LDX Continuous Mixer emphasizes safety with fully automated operations, interlocked access points, and clamshell design for easy cleaning. The included control systems feature touchscreen interfaces and automated, recipe-based controls for efficient mixing management. Ideal for commercial bakeries and food manufacturers, this mixer provides reliable performance and support for custom engineering requirements.
