L.P.L. Multi-Tier Long-Cut Pasta Line

AXOR has combined the tradition of the double racks for the sticks movement to the new Thermal Inversion Technology (T.I. Technology), giving the chance to choose between TVS technology press (Total Vacuum press) and the traditional press, reinforced aluminum sticks and, finally, the perfect mechanical movement of the double racks.

Press

The most important features of this equipment are TURBOMIX technology and low-speed of extrusion, which is achieved thanks to the high-efficiency compression screws: these characteristics allow to obtain a very homogenous dough. The press can be fitted either with Total Vacuum System or with traditional technology.

Pre-Dryer, Dryer and Cooler

The surface of the Long-Cut Pasta is pre-dried, with a continuous hot air flow, to prepare the product for the subsequent drying phase.

A permanent and homogeneous drying of Long-Cut Pasta is permitted by the switching from ventilation phases to rest phases, which are totally controlled by automatic thermohygroregulation systems and are combined with a mechanical double rack guide.

Provided with a heat exchanger entirely manufactured in stainless steel, the cooler allows to cool Long-Cut Pasta and to prepare the pasta for the next storing and packaging phase.

Storage Silo and Stripper

During the night shift of production, it is possible to collect the Long-Cut Pasta on sticks. Every tier has an independent motorization to synchronise the loading and unloading of the storage silo, through an automation system devoted to this equipment.

The stripper automatically removes the sticks and cuts the pasta to the length required for the next phase of packaging.
