Long-cut pasta - Multi tier production line
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.
Dosage and Press
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.
Multi-spreader
Spreader with sticks up to 2500mm of length, with a device for collecting the trimming scraps, mincing them and returning them to the press.
Pre-dryer
Pasta is surface-dried with very hot air flows before entering the final dryer.
TAS HP 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.
Cooler
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.
Stripper saw unit
Removes the pasta from the sticks and cuts it to the desired length.

The food science playground
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
