Dies and Moulds Inserts
With more than 800 pasta formats, GEA can produce dies and moulds that can satisfy even the most demanding market requests. From the classic penne, conchiglie, spaghetti, lasagne to the more complex ones that feature shapes of animals or cartoon characters.
Shaping, Coloring and Appealing
Inserts play a big role in product shaping but also in the coloring and general appeal of the pasta at the end of the process. In fact, pasta made with teflon inserts has a glossy appearance and a bright colour, whereas the use of bronze inserts gives the product a greater porosity and a lighter shade.
The inserts provided by GEA cover the following pasta formats:
- Long-cut: spaghetti, vermicelli, bucatini etc.
- Lasagne: lisce, ondulate, ricce etc.
- Nest: tagliatelle, fettuccine, pappardelle etc.
- Short-cut: penne, fusilli, cavatappi etc.
- Soup size: quadretti, routine, tubettini etc.
- Filled short-cut: tufolo, cannellone, lumaca etc.
- Quick cooking and pre-cooked: pennine rigate doppie, cornetti rigati, eliche etc.
- Fancy shapes: inserts to reproduce every shape you can think of.
- Gluten free: a selection of inserts for every category of pasta shape that can be used in the production of gluten free pasta.
