Scrap grinding system for reprocessing dry pasta
Efficiently reprocess dry pasta into reusable flour and dough, minimizing waste in your food processing line with high-speed, continuous operation.

Grinds and Mills Pasta Waste
The FP – Scraps Grinding unit, integral to GEA’s portfolio, offers a robust solution for pasta producers seeking to efficiently reincorporate dry pasta waste into their production process. This machine uniquely employs two rotating shafts that shred and grind pasta through a perforated flexible mesh, ensuring consistent particle size for regrind applications such as pasta flour and dough. It operates continuously with high-speed throughput, perfectly fitting the demands of modern food processing facilities. The unit boasts features like internal surfaces painted with food-safe paint and no accumulation points, aligning with the highest hygiene standards. Driven by a gearmotor, the dual rotor milling unit offers seamless integration into existing production lines, supported by GEA’s engineering expertise for tailored configurations. Built for durability, the FP – Scraps Grinding unit enhances operational efficiency while adhering to stringent safety systems and accident prevention standards.
