Two-stage mixing takes center stage
Two-stage batch mixing brings multiple advantages to industrial-scale baking. Two-stage batch mixing is especially suited to long-fermentation doughs, where structure and flavor are needed.

Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
The Middleby Corporation announced the acquisition of TERRY Water Treatment Solutions. The company has a proprietary, environmentally friendly solution to eliminate and prevent scale build-up. Scale resulting from water usage in commercial foodservice equipment, including steam, ice and beverage products can be removed.
Technology innovation not only ensures the right temperature, airflow and humidity settings, but also addresses a priceless ingredient in baking: time. Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) recently launched a new multi-pass proofer, which was designed to do both. It is designed to be flexible in function, footprint, and form.
The Middleby Corporation acquired Escher Mixers, the Italian manufacturer of spiral and planetary mixers for the industrial baking industry.
Middleby Corporation partnered with Vyv to provide baking equipment that comes equipped with antimicrobial LED technology, a continuous hygiene solution based on UV-free, visible light that safely offers protection against bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, yeasts and other microorganisms.
The Middleby Corporation announced the acquisition of Colussi Ermes, a manufacturer of automated washing solutions for the food processing industry.
Continuous mixers allow for all parameters to be constantly monitored and saved digitally, including ingredient stream rates, dough temperature, mixing energy input, throughput, mixer shaft speed, coolant temperatures, starts and stops, ingredient refill status, ingredient totalizers, dough totalizers, and many others.
Automated continuous mixing delivers real-time process assessment and consistency round the clock.
Requirements stemming from the product characteristics, the manufacturing needs, the facility and equipment line-up will influence how continuous mixing and kneading should be set up.
A continuous kneading and mixing process ensures all types of ingredients are mixed and kneaded in the optimum sequence to produce the desired product with consistent characteristics while saving time, resources and minimizing waste.
Reading Bakery Systems, a member of the Markel Food Group, has re-engineered the MX Continuous Mixer. The model now ranks as the most versatile continuous mixer, and is suitable for a broad product spectrum and a wide diversity of doughs.
