GEA xTru Fresh
Machine designed for the mixing, kneading and extrusion process. The GEA xTru Fresh mixes the main ingredients. Afterwards, the mixture is fed to the extrusion screw, which extrudes short-cut pasta, sheet pasta and lasagna.
Machine usually placed on a stainless-steel terrace, which facilitates the feeding of the next machine in line. It features a shaft with paddles, fixed using a conical joint instead of screws, and an opening cover for easy access to the mixing vessel, provided with safety switch. A version with total vacuum is also available.
The extrusion screw works at low speed (25 rpm) guaranteeing a gentle processing of product and consequently a higher quality of pasta. Pasta shape can be quickly changed, thanks to the automatic change of the die.
Structure entirely built in stainless steel. Cleaning and maintenance of the GEA xTru Fresh are made easier by an automatic extraction of the extrusion screw.
It can be equipped with a cutter for slant cut (penne) or orthogonal cut (tubetti).
Both the extrusion cylinder and the heads are provided with a cooling/heating circuit for temperature control.
