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.

Chip Czulada embarked on a new role as the President of Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) at the beginning of 2024. He shares with Baking+Biscuit International magazine his view on the first six months at the helm of the company where he has been working for over 20 years.
Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
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.
Technological developments make continuous mixing a better option than batch mixing, especially so for high-volume production. High throughput continuous mixers are becoming the best sellers in this equipment category.
Over the years, advances in continuous mixing have been developed to improve ingredient metering, process controls and include specialized mixer designs and ultra-high capacity mixers. Compared to batch mixing, such technological developments make continuous mixing a better option than batch mixing, especially so for high-volume production.
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.
To consistently produce high-quality pizza, especially at high speeds in industrial environments, all types of equipment on the production line must contribute.
Flexibility is the top priority when manufacturing cupcakes and muffins as well, as highlighted by the Unifiller Europe Flexline, one of the favorites among the Linxis Group specialist’s customers. This line can first be used for depositing muffin and cupcake batters, and (after baking) for the injection of fillings or cupcake decorations.
The KRONOS mixer from the WP BAKERYGROUP promises consistent mixing results independent of the personnel and fluctuating raw materials properties.
