MEET LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION NEEDS
The Peerless Group off ers the HS24 horizontal, roller bar mixer for the large-scale production of quality bread and buns. This system features Peerless’ fully-automated mixer solution, incorporating its proprietary CMCS™ (custom mix cycle system) as well as the Peerless DQC™ (dough quality controller) for enhanced process control with a minimum amount of labor. The mixer is outfitted with two-way tilt to automatically accept sponge from the heavy-duty Peerless trough hoist system, which is rear-mounted in this configuration. Operation of the trough hoist is integrated into the total system control, but it also can be operated as a separate unit as conditions dictate. Dough temperature is controlled through the combination of Peerless’ industry-leading bowl-jacket cooling design in concert with full-surface bowl end cooling and patented ColdBar™ system. As with all Peerless mixers, the machine is BISSC-compliant.
