Turnkey and space saving lines for the production of all the most iconic long-cut past formats, such as spaghetti, bucatini, vermicelli and many more.
After the pre-drying stage, pasta enters the dryer, which has either three or five tiers. These tiers are physically separated from one another and house the technological core of the Thermo Active System. Pasta passes through accelerated drying and stabilisation zones in which temperature and humidity parameters are programmed in order to achieve perfect drying.
Low-shear stainless steel compression screw. The variable pitch and broad diameter of the screw, combined with an ideal rotation speed, allow for gradual compression and a more homogeneous dough.
Spreader with sticks up to 2500mm of length, with a device for collecting the trimming scraps, mincing them and returning them to the press.
Pasta is surface-dried with very hot air flows before entering the final dryer.
Drying process is enhanced by thermo-active climatic zones. The structure is made up of physically separate process tiers for maximum humidity and temperature control at every point.
This machine is equipped with automatic ventilation units with cold water heat exchangers that bring the pasta to an ideal temperature before the packaging stage.
Removes the pasta from the sticks and cuts it to the desired length.
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
