FIMAR Pasta Machine 1.5N for Continuous Dough Production

A pasta machine of this type presses dough through a die under steady pressure, shaping it into strands, ribbons or tubes without tearing. The dough is fed into a hopper, then carried by a screw auger through a narrowing chamber that builds the pressure. At the end of the chamber, the die forces the dough into the chosen profile, and a rotating blade cuts it to length. The method keeps the dough uniform and the output consistent, which is essential for large batches in a professional kitchen.

The operator loads the hopper with prepared dough, selects the die for the desired pasta shape, and starts the motor. The auger turns continuously, pushing the dough forward. As the strands emerge, the blade trims them to the set length. The machine runs until the hopper is empty or the operator stops it. The height-adjustable stand lets the output fall directly into a tray or onto a worktop without bending the strands.

The body is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to clean. The auger, die and blade are also stainless steel. The stand is adjustable between 290 mm and 460 mm in height, so the machine can be set to suit the receiving container. The footprint of 250 mm by 480 mm fits on a standard worktop or a mobile stand.

Controls are a single on-off switch and a speed control that regulates the flow of dough. The voltage range of 230-400 V/3N/50 Hz allows the machine to run on a three-phase supply typical of commercial kitchens, drawing 0.3 kW. The weight of 18 kg makes it light enough to move with a trolley but stable enough to stay in place during operation.

Cleaning involves removing the die and blade, then flushing the auger and chamber with warm water. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Nozzles for different pasta shapes are available separately and can be swapped without tools.

The FIMAR MPF15N is a continuous pasta machine designed for medium-volume production in restaurants, hotels and central production kitchens. It is listed under pasta equipment in the professional catering catalogue.
