Tortellini forming machine
Optimize your tortellini production with a high-speed forming machine that ensures precise thickness, seamless filling, and minimal product scrap.
Forms and Fills Fresh Tortellini Quickly
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 T540 is a specialized unit engineered to streamline the production of tortellini and similar filled pastas like ravioli and agnolotti. This equipment integrates directly into continuous pasta manufacturing lines, receiving pasta sheets from upstream processes, and uses a double calibrating system to achieve the desired thickness. With a built-in mold system, it precisely cuts and fills each pasta piece, employing knurling rollers and forks to ensure a perfect seal. Its operational efficiency is enhanced by an onboard screw pump for precise filling and a scrap cutter that minimizes waste by extracting excess dough. Constructed from stainless steel, this machine is robust and designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, featuring components protected by stainless steel casings and an extractable carriage for the scrap cutter. The T540’s high-speed operation supports continuous, efficient pasta production, making it ideal for food processing companies seeking to enhance their fresh pasta output while maintaining product quality and consistency.
