Long-cut pasta - Single tier production line
The Single tier production line features all the latest technological solutions, such as TAS and Vacuum techonolgy.
Production line characterised by a single-tier dryer, expressing full potential of TAS technology. After extrusion, pasta is pre-dried and then sent to the dryer. Following successive accelerated drying and stabilisation stages in the dryer, the product then arrives at the cooler with the correct humidity percentage and excellent organoleptic properties.
Dosage and Press
Stainless-steel tank with dough level sensor. The process takes place under vacuum at low temperature. Thanks to the slow rotation of the mixing paddles, the gluten matrix is not subjected to mechanical stress and the product maintains excellent elasticity.
Spreader
Single or multiple spreader with sticks 1500, 2000 or 2500mm of length. All versions include a device that captures the scraps and reintroduces them into the mixing tank.
Pre-dryer
The pre-dryer eliminates the water from the outermost layer of pasta and prepares the product for the subsequent drying stage.
TAS HP dryer
Each section of this machine is equipped with ventilation units, heat exchangers and air extraction stations in order to ensure accurate temperature and humidity control at every point in the dryer.
Cooler
It lowers the temperature of pasta before the packaging stage. It can be accessed from both sides to facilitate maintenance operations.
Stripper saw unit
This device removes pasta from the sticks and cuts it to the desired length.

Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
Fruit storage at Betko: Control from peak harvest to global delivery
From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
