Pasta sheet forming machine for ravioli and cappelletti
In the production of pasta such as ravioli and cappelletti, ensuring the precise thickness and accurate filling of each piece is essential. Manufacturers need solutions that offer high-speed operation and consistent product quality while minimizing waste and downtime.
Forms pasta sheets with precise thickness and filling
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540 is designed to form pasta sheets into products like single sheet cappelletti and ravioli. This machine reduces the sheet thickness to your specified requirements, using a mold to cut and dose filling precisely for each cut. Knurling rollers and forks then close the product according to its shape. A key feature is its double calibrating group, with the second group having a central control to maintain the desired thickness. The system employs an alternating screw pump to synchronize the filling process without compromising quality. The compensating piston ensures consistent pressure during forming, contributing to higher filling quality. The machine’s stainless-steel components allow for thorough washing, and the scrape cutting system is placed on an extractable carriage for easy maintenance. The entire mold change and cleaning process can be accomplished without tools. GEA has engineered the FreshPasta Former 1 C540 for efficiency, integrating features like automatic timing of the mold and quick mold changes within 5 minutes.
