Dry pasta production line CTA

The CTA drying line represents a highly innovative solution for producing and drying nests in cups. A specially designed nest forming machine, suitable for high-capacity lines, deposits extruded or laminated nests in cups in a sequential manner. This system ensures that the nests are deposited in perfect synchronization and that the cups move smoothly and continuously, reducing kinetic mechanical stress considerably. The design of this drying line was created to meet the needs of high capacity lines to be installed in very limited spaces in terms of length, by exploiting the height of the factories. The constructive and technological characteristics of this line allow to obtain ideal drying diagrams for each and every raw material used. Like all the other lines, the CTA 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. One of the strong points of this line is represented by its predryer which has a straight transit area and a sloped transit area in order to feed the dryer at a height. It is equipped with metal slats which contain the cups for the nests. The perfect airtight features is guaranteed by the same highly successful feature applied to our short goods dryers: the metal slats are fastened and driven by chains which ensure that any swinging movements are prevented. The geometric profile of the slat joints for linking them together makes sure that their coupling is airproof.
