Industrial Long-cut pasta production line
Producing high-quality long-cut pasta with optimal stability, structural strength, and cooking quality demands precise control of temperatures, humidity, and ventilation throughout the drying process. Achieving these conditions efficiently and consistently can be challenging with traditional methods.

Enhanced drying accuracy and energy savings
The GEA Multidrive technology is a production line designed to produce long-cut pasta with superior quality while ensuring considerable energy savings. Utilizing continuous control of thermo-hygrometric conditions, the technology applies high gradients of temperature increase and decrease rates, optimized exhaust air extraction, and a Multiple Pulse Ventilation system. This results in improved accuracy in pre-drying and drying processes, leading to pasta that excels in stability, structural strength, and cooking quality. The Multidrive technology reduces the overall footprint of the production line by 25% and achieves up to 30% energy savings, making it environmentally friendly and economically efficient. The system supports a throughput from 1 to 2.5 tons per hour for mono-tier configurations and from 1.5 to 6 tons per hour for three-tier setups.
