Machine designed to receive dough and produce 7mm single sheet.
The SPTW has a “double shoulder” structure on the sides. Both the inner shoulder, in contact with the product, and the outer shoulder are in stainless steel.
The inner shoulder is free from mechanical parts as all bearings are mounted in the outer shoulder. This avoids any kind of contact between product and mechanical parts.
The mixture receiving hopper can be tilted to give easy access to the rolls assembly for cleaning purposes. The hopper is made of stainless steel and has rounded corners to avoid residues accumulation.
dough is fed to the kneading rolls by a double rotating paddle shaft mounted on the shoulders and driven by the kneading rolls through a series of gears. Two kneading units, each composed of three rolls with a lobe profile, where the mixture is compressed.
Two calibrating units, each composed of two smooth sheeting rolls, which produce a sheet with a uniform thickness. The kneading rolls and sheeting rolls are installed on the same shoulders to obtain two dough sheets at the same time. All rolls are made of stainless steel. Kneading rolls and sheeting rolls are driven by the same motor. The machine is completely free from pinions and chains. Rolls scraper in foodgrade plastic material.
The rolls protection shells are in stainless steel. They can be easily opened and are equipped with watertight magnetic safety sensors. Polished inner face to avoid product stagnation.
The structure and the kinematics of the kneading rollers do not put stress on pasta, guaranteeing that the inlet and outlet temperature are the same.

GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
