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.
Machine performance
Since 2019, GEA has risen from underperformer to DAX member – one of Germany's top 40 listed companies – by fostering entrepreneurship and turning sustainability into a competitive advantage. It reached this milestone in its nearly 145-year history without tailwinds or shortcuts, in a world of compounding crises. This turnaround shows what's possible when purpose and performance align.
This year was a big one for GEA. Can you remember all the milestones and highlights?
The GEA Foundation launched this year with a promise: to make a tangible difference in people's lives. From scholarships in Germany to clean water in Tanzania, the foundation is already proving that when companies commit to giving back, lives change.
