Extruder producing short-cut pasta, sheet pasta and lasagna.
The GE receives the mixture from the previous machine or from a batch mixer.
When combined with a batch mixing system, mixture is automatically overturned onto the screw conveying tank.
The extrusion screw works at low speed (25 rpm) guaranteeing a gentle processing of the product and consequently a higher quality of pasta. Pasta shapes can be quickly changed thanks to automatic change of die. The curved shape of the mixing tank is designed to reduce product stagnation and facilitate overall maintenance.
