GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540
Single sheet forming machine designed for products like single sheet cappelletti and ravioli.
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540 receives the sheet from the previous machine, reducing the thickness to the desired size. The mold cuts the sheet with the chosen shape and filling is dosed for every cut. A system of knurling rollers and forks will close the product according to the desired shape.
A scrap cutter system cuts the sheet resulting from the forming phase in small pieces and it takes them out.
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540 features a double calibrating group and the second one is equipped with central control of thickness.
In order to improve machine management, a feeding belt connects the calibrating group with the mould.
An alternating screw pump doses the filling process, allowing to synchronize the filling in the product without deteriorating its quality.
Mould with desmodromic camshafts enables the machine to perform more efficiently in terms of moulding speed and precision. Forks with independent rack allow for a reduction of the amount scrapes produced.
Automatic timing of the mould and quick mould change (5 minutes).
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540 features a compensating piston, which maintains a constant pressure during all the forming phases (guaranteeing a higher quality of filling).
The machine is entirely washable, thanks to its stainless-steel components. The scrape cutting is placed on an extractable carriage in order to facilitate the washing process. Moreover, all the procedures involved in mould change and machine washing can be carried out without the need of tools.
Machine performance:
- Cruising speed: 200 hit/min (ravioli)
- Sheet width: 540 mm
- Final product thickness: 0.5-1.5 mm
