FIMAR Nuzzle Bucatini Pasta Nozzle – 4 mm Diameter

A nuzzle shapes pasta dough into bucatini, the thick tubular strands with a hollow centre. The dough is forced under pressure through the circular opening; the diameter and the smooth inner surface of the nuzzle determine the size and the evenness of the tube. A 4 mm opening produces the classic bucatini thickness used in professional kitchens.

The operator attaches the nuzzle to the extruder barrel, secures it with the locking collar, and starts the machine. Dough is loaded into the hopper and pushed through the nuzzle by the auger. The emerging strands are cut to length with the rotary knife or by hand, then transferred to drying racks or directly to cooking.

The nuzzle is made of a brass and bronze alloy that resists corrosion from dough acids and repeated cleaning.

This 4 mm nuzzle fits the FIMAR PF15E pasta extruder as standard. Adapters are available for the PF25E, PF40E and PF80E models.

The 4 mm diameter is chosen for bucatini; it balances cooking time and bite, and matches the portion sizes served in restaurants and catering operations.

Cleaning follows each use: the nuzzle is removed, flushed with warm water to clear dough residue, then scrubbed with a nylon brush. The alloy does not rust, so the nuzzle can be left to air-dry without oiling.
