Industrial mixers play a vital role in the production of factory biscuits. Dough mixing is a key step in biscuit making. Depending on the type of biscuits, a suitable mixer needs to be selected.
At present, the commonly used mixers in factories are mainly vertical mixers and horizontal mixers. They each have unique advantages and are suitable for the production of different types of biscuits.
Choose different mixers according to different biscuit needs: vertical mixer/horizontal mixer
Vertical Mixer
- Adapt to specific processes: mainly used for hard biscuits and soda biscuits, especially sponge dough processes. It can evenly mix the raw materials and lay the foundation for subsequent processing. When making soda biscuits, flour, yeast, water and other raw materials can be fully integrated to make the dough fermentation effect better and ensure the taste and texture of the biscuits.
- Easy to handle dough: equipped with a stainless steel dough bucket for easy dough storage and fermentation. Its vertical structural design allows the material to be turned up and down more fully during the mixing process. For dough that needs to be fermented, it allows the yeast to contact the dough evenly and improves the fermentation efficiency.
- High precision: The stirring shaft is set vertically, which can more accurately control the speed, time and strength of stirring during stirring, which is crucial for some biscuits that require high stirring precision. When making cookies, the degree of mixing of butter and flour can be accurately controlled to ensure that the cookies are crispy and delicate.
Horizontal Mixer
- Versatile: It is suitable for both hard dough (hard biscuit production) and soft dough (soft biscuit production). Whether it is making crispy crackers or soft sandwich biscuit crusts, the horizontal mixer can meet the stirring needs, reducing the cost of purchasing factory equipment and the difficulty of management.
- Efficiently handle large amounts of dough: The horizontally placed stirring shaft and larger stirring container make it more advantageous when handling large amounts of dough. When large biscuit manufacturers are engaged in large-scale production, horizontal mixers can stir a large amount of dough at one time, improve production efficiency, and reduce unit production costs.
- Good mixing effect: The horizontal movement of the paddles of the horizontal mixer can generate greater shear force and extrusion force, making the dough more evenly mixed. For some biscuits that require multiple ingredients to be fully integrated, such as biscuits containing chopped nuts and chocolate beans, the horizontal mixer can make these ingredients evenly distributed in the dough.
Selection Suggestions
Vertical and horizontal mixers have their own unique advantages. When choosing a mixer, the factory should consider factors such as the type of biscuits, production scale, and cost budget. If you mainly produce hard biscuits or soda biscuits, a vertical mixer is a good choice; if you produce a variety of biscuits, including hard biscuits and soft biscuits, a horizontal mixer is more suitable.
