Fresh pasta production line

short-cutlong-cutstuffed

SIDE designs and manufactures machinery, equipment and complete lines for the production of fresh pasta. Each line is designed according to the specific needs of the equipment to optimise all phases of the production of fresh pasta and includes automatic kneaders, extruders, sheeters, moulders, pasteurisers, driers and coolers. The purpose of the line for fresh pasta is the production, treatment and packaging of pasta (which can be long, short, stuffed, and so on), having a shelf life which generally ranges from a few weeks up to about three months. The product is made using kneading and moulding machines, which differ depending on the required format and the kind of pasta to be produced. It is subsequently pasteurised to reduce the bacterial load, dried to remove moisture present on the surface and cooled to prevent bacteria from multiplying. After undergoing the various treatments, the product is weighed and packaged using a vertical thermoforming or packaging machine. If necessary, after packaging the product can be further treated to obtain longer shelf life: in this case, it is transported to the input of a coil to undergo a second pasteurisation and then immediately cooled through a cooling coil.
