FIMAR Pasta Machine 8N for Fresh Pasta Production

A pasta machine designed for continuous production of fresh pasta shapes combines a mixing chamber with a shaping die. The machine kneads dough with rotating paddles, then forces it through a die under pressure, cutting it into strands, ribbons or other forms as it emerges. This method ensures uniform texture and thickness without manual rolling, allowing large batches to be produced in a single operation.

The operator loads the hopper with flour and liquid ingredients, selects the desired die for the pasta shape, and starts the motor. The machine mixes the dough internally, extrudes it through the die, and cuts it to length automatically. Output is collected on trays or a conveyor for immediate cooking or drying.

The body and hopper are constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and hygiene in food production. The machine's footprint of 450 mm by 720 mm fits on a standard worktop, while the adjustable height from 750 mm to 990 mm allows alignment with adjacent equipment or benches.

Controls include a main power switch and a speed adjustment to match dough consistency and production rate. The voltage requirement of 230-400 V/3N/50 Hz allows connection to either single-phase or three-phase kitchen circuits, accommodating different electrical supplies without additional transformers.

A capacity of 25 kg per hour determines the volume of pasta produced in a service period, making it suitable for medium to large kitchens or small-scale commercial pasta producers. The weight of 87 kg indicates the machine is moved with a trolley or two-person lift, not carried by hand.

Cleaning involves removing the die and washing it separately, then wiping down the stainless steel hopper and body with food-safe sanitiser. The mixing chamber and extrusion barrel are accessed through a hinged panel for thorough cleaning between batches to prevent cross-contamination of flavours or allergens.

The Pasta Machine 8N is categorised under fresh pasta equipment in the FIMAR professional catering range.
