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.
