GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540B

Single sheet forming machine designed for products like single sheet cappelletti and ravioli.

It receives the sheet from the previous machine, reducing the thickness to the desired size. The mold cuts the sheet with the chosen shape, the filling is dosed for every cut. A system of knurling rollers and forks will close the product according to the desired shape.

A scrap cutter system cuts the sheet resulting from the forming phase in small pieces and it takes them out.

The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 C540B features a double calibrating group and the second one is equipped with central control of thickness.

In order to improve machine management, a feeding belt connects the calibrating group with the mould. The HMI interface and the electrical panel are placed in the machine’s proximity.

An alternating screw pump doses the filling process, allowing to synchronize the filling in the product without deteriorating its quality. 

Mould with desmodromic camshafts enables the machine to perform more efficiently in terms of moulding speed and precision. Forks with independent rack allow for a reduction of the amount scrapes produced.

Machine performance:

  • Cruising speed: 180 hit/min (ravioli)
  • Sheet width: 540 mm
  • Final product thickness: 0.5-1.5 mm;
