Instant dough hydration system
Efficiently hydrate dry ingredients instantly with minimal heat increase, streamlining your mixing process and reducing equipment footprint and energy costs.
Rapidly Hydrates and Mixes Ingredients
Hydrobond Technology by Reading Bakery Systems offers an innovative solution for industrial bakeries and snack manufacturers focusing on dough processing efficiency. This system specializes in the rapid hydration of dry ingredients, integrating seamlessly with your existing continuous mixing line. It utilizes a pre-mixing hydration step that reduces the size of the required downstream mixer, which in turn lowers both the energy consumption and equipment footprint. Capable of processing a wide variety of products, including pretzel sticks, cheese crackers, and kibble for pets, it is ideal for high-throughput operations in the food, snack production, and pet food industries.
Automation is streamlined with an in-house designed PLC control system, allowing for precise operation and integration within your production facility. The Hydrobond Technology system is noted for its robust construction, designed to handle the rigors of continuous and batch operations while minimizing heat generated during mixing, thus maintaining ingredient quality. Cleaning is simplified through easily accessible components, ensuring quick maintenance turnaround and adherence to sanitation standards. This equipment can be customized to meet specific production needs, supported by Reading Bakery Systems’ engineering expertise.
