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.
Machine performance:
- Capacity: 80-3100 kg/h

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
