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.

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.
