Double sheet forming system for ravioli production

Streamline your production with high-speed forming and sealing, achieving consistent quality for filled pasta and snack products, while reducing waste through efficient thickness reduction and precise cutting.

Forms and Seals Double Sheet Pasta and Ravioli

The GEA FreshPasta Former 2 R540 is specifically engineered for high-speed, continuous forming of double sheet pasta and ravioli. This machine effectively reduces sheet thickness, doses precise filling amounts, and seals products with exceptional consistency. With the capability to handle diverse fillings, from ricotta and spinach to fruit-filled cereal pockets, it supports a broad range of food production applications, including pasta snacks and breakfast cereals. The Former 2 R540 operates with a cruising speed of 120 to 180 hits per minute and can reach a maximum of 250 hits per minute, accommodating sheets up to 540mm wide and achieving final product thicknesses between 0.8 to 1.6mm. Integration into existing lines is seamless, thanks to options for local or remote electric panel installation and multiple pump connections for varied filling types. Its stainless-steel construction ensures full washability and hygiene, while tool-free mold changes and quick, five-minute mold changeovers minimize downtime. The compensating piston maintains consistent pressure for superior filling quality, making it a reliable solution for food manufacturers committed to versatility and efficiency in their production lines.
