Continuous mixer for wheat-based products
Achieve consistent dough quality with minimal variation using a continuous mixer designed for efficient integration in bakery and snack production lines, ensuring precise ingredient blending for diverse products while optimizing energy use and food safety standards.
Mixes and Kneads Wheat-Based and Snack Products
The EX Continuous Mixer from Exact Mixing is designed to optimize dough mixing and kneading for wheat-based and snack products. Utilizing interchangeable mixing elements within its clam-shell design, this mixer ensures gentle dough development without excessive heat, maintaining consistent quality across production lines. It’s ideal for applications ranging from bread doughs and cake batters to low viscosity mixtures like extruded snack pellets and pet food kibble.
With a processing capacity ranging from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour, the EX Continuous Mixer integrates seamlessly into automated production systems. Gravimetric, loss-in-weight metering paired with a closed-loop control system ensures precise ingredient mixing, enhancing product consistency and reducing waste. The EX Mixer operates with reduced energy consumption, making it efficient for large-scale food and bakery operations.
Constructed with FDA-approved materials, the mixer prioritizes food safety and easy sanitation, featuring washdown-in-place components and quick-disconnect sanitary connections. With fully automated control systems, the mixer supports real-time process monitoring and recipe-based operations, facilitating smooth integration into existing production environments while ensuring operator safety with emergency stop functions. Exact Mixing offers customization and engineering support to tailor the system to specific production needs.
