Long-cut pasta - Multidrive production line
GEA new Multidrive technology allows making long cut pasta of unrivalled quality while granting energy savings and reduced overall footprint.
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
From fossil fuels to future-ready: The rise of heat pumps
While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
