Extruder for short-cut pasta and lasagna production
Achieve seamless pasta and snack production with an extruder designed for delicate processing, ensuring high-quality end products like fusilli, fettuccine, and lasagna sheets with ease.
Processes and Shapes Pasta and Snack Products
The GE Extrusion group, part of GEA’s extensive equipment portfolio, offers a robust solution for pasta and snack production. This extruder excels in processing and shaping a variety of products including fusilli, corn chips, and lasagna sheets. Utilizing a low-speed extrusion screw at 25 rpm, it ensures gentle handling of mixtures to deliver superior product quality. Capable of outputting between 100 to 500 kg/h, the equipment is ideal for continuous operations in food production lines. Designed with an automatic die change feature, it simplifies transitions between product shapes, enhancing production flexibility. The system seamlessly integrates with existing processes, receiving mixed product directly from batch mixers to ensure uninterrupted flow. Its curved mixing tank reduces stagnation, facilitating easy maintenance and efficient cleaning. Constructed for durability and compliance, the equipment supports food manufacturers, pasta producers, snack manufacturers, and more in optimizing their production lines.
