GEA MULTIDRIVE® techology: an evolutionary step forward in the manufacture of long pasta that ensures superior quality while keeping an eye on the environment through efficient energy management.
These results are achieved through a number of innovative features allowing improved accuracy on working parameters all over the line, offering best performances in the pre-drying and drying process. The so obtained product is excellent in stability, structural strength and cooking quality.
Continuous innovation is a business driver for many companies; however, only an effective adoption of thorough procedures can turn it into a success factor, thus allowing targets achievement and actual advantage against competitors. This vision brought us to develop cutting-edge technologies that are and will always be GEA trademark.
TAS-MULTIDRIVE
MULTIDRIVE® technology is based on a continuous control of thermo hygrometric conditions, by the application of very high gradients of temperature increase and decrease rates, an optimized exhaust air extraction and a Multiple Pulse Ventilation system. The result is an evolution of the well-known GEA Thermo Active System technology (TAS).

Key Features
- Optimized exhaust air extraction and injection
- Accurate control of the temperature and humidity also in the initial stages
- Reduced energy consumption: High-efficiency process: global energy saving up to 30%
- Improved product quality
- Reduced length of the line (-25%)
- Easy access to the dryer
Throughput
- Mono tier: from 1 to 2,5 tons/hour
- 3 tiers: from 1,5 to 6 tons/hour

GEA Insights

The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
