Dry pasta production line

The TCM drying line offers the most flexible technology available today on the short-cut pasta processing market. This dryer is combined with a press, which has a dough mixing system that can be one of the following: Total Vacuum, Stabilization Belt or Traditional Mixer. A metallic belt dryer, TCM’s can be coupled in line with another TCM which perform both the predrying and drying phases; or it can be installed after a rotary drum ROMET predryer to carry out the final drying phase. The constructive and technological characteristics of this line allow to obtain optimal drying diagrams for each and every raw material used. It is combined with a 3-tier shaker which exploits an oscillation system that ensures that the product is shook continually, to avoid it from sticking, and that there is an efficient air flow. The shaker is equipped with multiple coils which create optimal temperatures to prepare the pasta for the next drying phase. The sides of the vibratory trays are sealed with special teflon diaphragms to keep small-sized shapes in position despite high pressure ventilation. The qualifying element of the TCM is the slotted metallic belt, a patented and unique system, which guarantees elevated performance levels. The uniqueness of this belt lies in the fact that the air, which flows through the large number of slots in the belts, crosses the pasta uniformly ensuring a very efficient product treatment. In fact, the air flows through the product uniformly across the width of the belt to ensure that each and every pasta shape is treated in the same way.
