GEA FreshPasta Former 1 TC540
Machine designed for single sheeting forming of all fresh pasta applications.
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 TC540 receives the sheet from the previous machine and it reduces its thickness to the desired amount.
The mold cuts the sheet with the chosen shape, the filling is dosed for every cut. A system of knurling rollers and forks will wrap the product around a dedicated pin for tortellini and close it 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 machine features a double calibrating group, one equipped with central control of thickness.
In order to improve machine management, a feeding belt connects the calibrating group with the mould, and a screw pump is mounted on board.
An HMI interface and an electric panel are placed in the machine’s proximity.The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 TC540 is the only machine which can work with all kinds of pasta formats and their moulds.
Made in stainless steel, thanks to cam moving groups protected by a stainless steel box, the mould is easily washed. In addition, this enables the machine to achieve high forming speed, more forming speed and less scrapes. Moreover, the scrape cutter is placed on an extractable carriage in order to facilitate the washing process.
The GEA FreshPasta Former 1 TC540 is completely washable, thanks to its stainless-steel structure.
Moreover, the scrape cutter is placed on an extractable carriage in order to facilitate the washing process.
