SHORT-GOODS PRODUCTION PLANTS SOURCE: HTTPS://HCFEGY.COM/SELL-64740238-AUTOMATIC-INSTANT-PASTA-MACARONI-PROCESSING-MAKING-MACHINE.HTML Short-goods production plants are facilities that specialize in the production of short-cut pasta, such as macaroni, fusilli, penne, and rigatoni. Short-cut pasta is characterized by its small size and short length, and it is commonly used in a variety of dishes, including pasta salads, casseroles, and soups. Uses MACARONI: SHORT, CURVED, HOLLOW TUBES FUSILLI: CORKSCREW-SHAPED PASTA PENNE: SHORT, TUBE-SHAPED PASTA WITH ANGLED ENDS RIGATONI: LARGE, TUBE-SHAPED PASTA WITH RIDGES Working Principle The plant typically starts by mixing the semolina flour, water, and sometimes eggs to make the pasta dough. The dough is then fed into a machine called an extruder. The extruder consists of a large screw that rotates inside a barrel. As the dough is fed into the extruder, the screw pushes it through a die, which determines the shape of the pasta. The pressure created by the screw causes the dough to be forced through the die and form the desired shape. Then cut to the desired length and then dried. Drying is a critical step in the process that removes the moisture from the pasta, making it shelf-stable and ensuring it retains its shape during cooking.
