Long-cut multi tier pasta line
Production of long-cut pasta like spaghetti, bucatini, and vermicelli requires a highly controlled drying process to ensure optimal texture and quality. Typical challenges include maintaining precise temperature and humidity levels during drying to prevent uneven cooking and breakage.
Efficient drying with multi-tier thermo-active zones
The multi-tier long-cut pasta production line by GEA is a turnkey solution designed to produce various iconic long-cut pasta formats, including spaghetti, bucatini, and vermicelli. After pre-drying, the pasta enters a dryer with either three or five tiers, physically separated to house the Thermo Active System. This system ensures accelerated drying and stabilization, with temperature and humidity parameters precisely controlled at every stage for perfect drying. Key components include a low-shear stainless steel compression screw for homogeneous dough, a multi-spreader for even distribution, and a cooler with automatic ventilation units to bring pasta to optimal packaging temperature. Additional features like the stripper saw unit remove pasta from the sticks and cut it to the desired length. This line is ideal for manufacturers seeking consistency and efficiency in long-cut pasta production.
