Custom-Built Static Pasta Drying Cells – From 1 Cell – Modular Hot Water Drying System

Machine type: Static Pasta Drying Cells

Configuration: Custom-built, starting from 1 cell

Heating system: Hot water

Custom-built static pasta drying cells for the food processing and pasta industry.

Our drying systems are engineered and manufactured according to each customer's specific production requirements, with modular configurations starting from a single drying cell.

The number of cells, dimensions, trolley capacity and technical configuration can be customized according to the available production space and required production capacity.

The system is suitable for drying short-cut pasta, pasta nests, special pasta shapes and lasagna.
