Folded, filled, twisted, coiled or rolled – pasta products aren’t just in season year-round, they also come in countless shapes, colors and varieties on tables around the world. And of course, you should be free to focus entirely on your recipes and creations. Zeppelin Systems provides the ideal conditions for that – with a portfolio that includes innovative plant technology, in-depth process expertise and a constant eye for new possibilities. The result: worthy of a star!
Optimally equipped with Zeppelin Systems
The variety of ingredients for pasta is constantly growing, whether grain products like durum wheat, soft wheat, spelt, or rye, or milling products from buckwheat, barley, oats, millet, corn, and rice, which are primarily used for multigrain pasta. No matter how diverse the raw materials are, they all have one thing in common: only with high-quality raw materials can perfect pasta be produced.
The main focus is initially on the safe delivery and proper storage of raw materials. These steps are essential to ensure the quality of pasta production.
The most important step in the production process is the precise dosing of solid and liquid components. This is the only way to ensure the exact adherence to the recipe.
In continuous manufacturing processes, raw materials must be fed evenly and in accordance with the recipe. This ensures that production runs smoothly and efficiently.
Pasta must contain a maximum of 13% water, with the exception of fresh doughs. Adhering to such regulations is crucial for the quality and safety of the products.
Decades of experience in plant engineering for the food industry result in economical, resource-efficient, and highly effective solutions for our customers—whether for a new installation or the modernization of an existing brownfield facility.
The Food Technology Center is equipped with test facilities for dosing, conveying, weighing, sieving, and mixing of formulations. On-site trials and tests enable system optimization and provide a reliable basis for designing efficient plant solutions.

Process steps with potential
Whether in the home kitchen or on an industrial scale: the detailed knowledge of each individual process step is key to successful pasta production. Rely on our process expertise to ensure your products are as unforgettable as the handmade specialties you couldn’t get enough of as a child.
Raw material intake
Right from raw material delivery, we ensure maximum safety by integrating solutions such as feed hoppers, jet vent filters, and fans. This guarantees a dust-free, gentle, and contamination-free transfer of raw materials into the process—regardless of packaging type or product.

Conveying
Benefit from our customized conveying systems designed specifically for sensitive raw materials. With technologies such as Lean-Tec, Dense-Tec, and Twin-Tec, products are transported gently and efficiently, while energy costs are optimized. The Dense-Tec process, in particular, offers excellent protection for fragile and break-sensitive materials.
Go to conveying
Sieving
With our screening solutions such as rotary sieve machines and magnetic separators, we ensure the reliable removal of foreign particles from incoming materials. Whether used as pre-sieves, post-sieves, or inline screening units, our systems provide ideal starting conditions for smooth processes and consistently high product quality.
