How to Split a Recipe Into Two Mixes in Streamline

What Is Recipe Splitting in Streamline? #

In Streamline, recipe splitting allows you to divide a large recipe into smaller, manageable mixes. This is helpful when your mixing equipment has a capacity limit (e.g., 250 kg per batch), but your recipe exceeds that limit.

You can choose between:

• Equal mix splitting
• Max mix + balance splitting

How to Split a Recipe in Streamline #

1. Set Splitting Option in Recipe Settings #

You can configure the splitting method directly in the recipe. The page will give you the option to:

• Split in equal mix
• Split in max + balance

Navigate to Recipe Totals if you prefer to set this on the fly.

2. Example Scenario #

Based on the image:

• The recipe requires 279 kg.
• The mixer has a maximum capacity of 250 kg.
• You’ve requested a 5% buffer, bringing the target to 280 kg.

If you choose:

• Equal Mix – The system will split into two equal mixes.
• Max + Balance – The system will split into 250 kg and 29.68 kg.

3. Unit Conversion Tips #

When entering recipe quantities:

• If changing units (e.g., from grams to kilos), update all coefficients.
• The system automatically adjusts weights but not coefficient values.
• Always verify calculations when changing units.

Best Practices #

• Always check the maximum mixer capacity before splitting.
• Use the auto-update feature carefully when switching units.
• Maintain consistency across ingredients, units, and totals for accurate results.
