Nest-shaped short pasta production line
Optimize your pasta production with a streamlined process that enhances drying efficiency and maintains nest integrity, ensuring consistent shape and quality in every batch.
Extrudes, Forms, and Dries Nest-Shaped Pasta
The Nest-Shaped Pasta Production Line: Cups & Belts System is an engineered-to-order solution for pasta manufacturers, designed to handle the intricate processes of extruding, forming, and drying nest-shaped pasta like tagliatelle and fettuccine. This system utilizes a low-shear stainless steel compression screw with variable pitch and broad diameter to ensure gradual dough compression for homogeneous quality. The laminating roller unit and nest forming machine are designed to produce precise and consistent nests, facilitated by 12 or 24 tube options under the press die. Ventilated pre-dryers and conveyors made of stainless steel with mesh bottoms optimize drying efficiency, reducing energy usage by ensuring even air flow. The system is fully automated and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, offering programmable settings to accommodate different packaging requirements. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, it promises durability and long-term performance. The setup meets rigorous hygiene standards, featuring easy-to-clean components to minimize downtime during maintenance.
