Pasta sheet forming machine for ravioli and cappelletti

Achieve precision pasta forming with consistent thickness and high-speed cutting, enhancing production efficiency and product quality for ravioli and cappelletti.

Forms and Shapes Fresh Pasta Sheets

The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540 and C630 are sheet forming machines designed to elevate your fresh pasta production. These machines streamline pasta forming into precise shapes like cappelletti and ravioli, reducing material waste with a scrap cutter system and ensuring consistent filling integration via an alternating screw pump. The GEA units employ a double calibrating system that meticulously controls dough thickness, enhancing uniformity across batches. Operating at a cruising speed of up to 200 hits per minute, these machines efficiently handle wide pasta sheets, adapting to varying thickness requirements between 0.5-1.5 mm. A desmodromic camshaft-driven molding mechanism offers precise and rapid mold transitions, minimizing downtime with a quick-change feature. Built with stainless-steel components, they are designed for easy washing and maintenance, adhering to hygiene standards critical for food production. This equipment caters to high-speed, continuous operations in the food, pasta, and fresh pasta processing industries, delivering automatic handling of solid and slurry-type products, with engineering support available for tailored configurations.

Benefits

  • Enhances production efficiency with synchronized filling and cutting processes.
  • Minimizes material waste through precise scrap cutting and reusable design.
  • Ensures product consistency by maintaining constant dough thickness and pressure during forming.
  • Simplifies maintenance and cleaning with tool-free mold changes and washable stainless-steel construction.
  • Supports rapid production adjustments with quick mold changes in under five minutes.
