Game changer

Reading Bakery Systems, a member of the Markel Food Group, offers a full line of mixer models and sizes to mix a wide variety of products successfully. The redesigned MX Continuous Mixer is the most versatile mixer and is well suited for a wide range of products.

The Exact Mixing MX Continuous Mixer is the most versatile mixer from Reading Bakery Systems. The mixer is well suited for a wide range of products including cookies, snacks, pastries, croissants, pizza, flatbreads, batters, icings, pastes and more. It is also an ideal first stage mixer for processes that require creme up or pre-blend stages. When the mixer is used with the exclusive Hydrobond Technology from Reading, the continuous process is more efficient and allows for the use of a smaller mixer, which means lower equipment costs and a smaller footprint.

The MX Mixer can also be combined with an optional 2nd stage developer (referred to as the HDX mixing system) to produce higher development doughs for buns (hamburger and hot dog) and sandwich bread.
