Mastering the Challenge of Pasta Production
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.
Safe delivery and storage of raw materials
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.
Precise dosing of ingredients
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.
Consistent feeding during continuous production
In continuous manufacturing processes, raw materials must be fed evenly and in accordance with the recipe. This ensures that production runs smoothly and efficiently.
Compliance with regulations for pasta production
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.
Process steps with potential
Efficient solutions powered by Zeppelin technologies and expertise
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.
