Mixer kneader sheeter for fresh pasta processing

Streamline your pasta and dough production with a single machine that efficiently mixes, kneads, and sheets, optimizing workflow and reducing equipment footprint.

Mixes, Kneads, and Sheets Dough Effortlessly

The MKS Mixer Kneader Sheeter from GEA is engineered to streamline dough processing for pasta and snack manufacturers, integrating mixing, kneading, and sheeting tasks into a seamless operation. Utilizing an automatic dosage system for flour, micro ingredients, and liquids, this machine ensures precise control, while its paddle shaft with conic fixing enhances stability and ease of maintenance. Equipped with three kneading rollers and calibrating rollers, the MKS produces uniform 7mm sheets ideal for products such as tagliatelle, ravioli, and breakfast cereal sheets. Designed with continuous automation in mind, it incorporates a PLC valve flowmeter for enhanced process control and efficiency. The unit’s construction minimizes contamination risks through separated internal and external shoulders, and its openable shoulders simplify cleaning processes. Built for food industry compliance, the MKS provides robust performance at a contained price, making it a valuable addition to processing lines aiming to maximize efficiency and product quality.
