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.
The conversation around increasing manufacturing sustainability will unavoidably start with analyzing ovens, for any baking operation. Visible results are a necessity.
This increasing interest in better-for-you foods continues to fuel product innovation, including in the sweet bakery market.
Reading Bakery Systems unveiled the new Thomas L. Green Emithermic XE Oven, a superior replacement for traditional Direct Gas Fired (DGF) ovens. This new oven reduces energy and emissions, and simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
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.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) installed its new electric-powered convection oven at the RBS Science & Innovation Center and is now ready for production trials.
Under the current circumstances, it has never been more important to look into ways to increase efficiency in bakeries, starting with their centerpiece: the tunnel oven.
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.
