Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) introduced a new advanced Thomas L. Green WCX Wirecut Machine that provides more product flexibility, control, better safety features and easier sanitation than previous designs.
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.
