Single sheet former for fresh pasta production
Optimize your production line with a versatile machine designed to precisely form and fill fresh pasta sheets, ensuring consistent high-quality output for products like cappelletti and ravioli.

Forms and Shapes Fresh Pasta Sheets
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540B is a precision-engineered machine designed for efficient pasta production. It specializes in forming single-sheet cappelletti and ravioli, integrating seamlessly into continuous high-speed operations. With its double calibrating group and central thickness control, it ensures uniform pasta sheets. The automated dosing and cutting mechanisms optimize product yield and minimize waste. Capable of operating at speeds of up to 180 hits per minute, the machine is ideal for food manufacturers aiming to maintain high throughput. Its integration with upstream and downstream equipment, advanced HMI interface, and robust energy-efficient components make it a vital asset in modern pasta production lines. Additionally, a desmodromic camshaft and independent rack forks enable precise shaping and closure of pasta, reducing scrap and increasing product quality. The machine’s construction allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, offering reliable performance in demanding food processing environments.
