Fresh pasta extruders are used in a number                               of industry applications including:

* Frozen entrée lines
* Fresh pasta lines
* Canning systems
* Formed and filled pasta
* Co-extruded products
* Dough sheet forming equipment


The primary components of a fresh pasta extruder are ingredient feed systems, mixing system, the extrusion unit and the short good head.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredient Feed System
The DEMACO Volumetric Dry Ingredient Feed System is designed to accurately meter the dry ingredient and water to the mixer. A volumetric feeder for primary ingredient which will accurately meter Semolina or any other free flowing dry ingredient into the pre-mixer. An additional volumetric type feeder is available to feed a second minor free flowing ingredient to the mixer. Primary and secondary dry ingredient feeders can be either volumetric or gravimetric.

When a liquid slurry is used, DEMACO can provide a liquid ingredient feed system designed to accurately feed liquid directly into the pre-mixer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patented High-Speed USDA Premixer
The DEMACO Patented USDA Approved High-speed Pre-mixer uniformly blends flour, water and optional secondary ingredients prior to delivery to the main mixer.

The DEMACO Pre-mixer acts as a pre-blender to prevent white specks in the finished pasta, and to reduce dough accumulation on the main mixer walls. The pre-mixer is constructed entirely of stainless steel and disassembles completely for cleaning without tools.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEMACO Sanitary (USDA APPROVED) Mixer
The entire mixer is constructed of stainless steel. The paddles are welded to the shafts. All joints and seams are filled with continuous stainless steel weld, which are ground and polished with no cracks or crevices to prevent bacteria buildup. The mixer gear box and shaft bearings are located away from the mixer basin. Because there are no cracks or crevices, the DEMACO Mixer is the only pasta mixer, which can be thoroughly cleaned.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extrusion Unit  
Extrusion Screw:
DEMACO's exclusive screw design provides the ultimate in strength and dough processing. Cut from a solid billet of stainless steel, the screw is polished to a 4B finish and uses a renewable anti-wear tipping. The screw's tapered flight backs provide excellent kneading and pressure characteristics while maintaining low dough temperature.

Cylinder:
The system features grooved cylinder, which enhances kneading action. The system's cylinder is fabricated with an internal water cooling jacket and removable bushing for extended life.

Thrust bearing:
DEMACO's superior thrust bearing design includes separate thrust and radial bearings to drive the screws and absorb thrust loads.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Short Good Head
The DEMACO Short Goods Head yields the most accurate extrusion pattern currently available. The head is constructed of stainless steel and includes a cutting device with an AC variable frequency drive to adjust the speed of the knife to reach the desired product length. For longer products an optional intermittent cutter is available. Included with the head is an automatic hydraulic die- removal system, which allows for exceptionally quick die changes. The head size varies depending upon the desired production rate.

An option unique to DEMACO is the Co-extrusion System, which is used in place of the short good head when producing co-extruded products.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frame and Platform
DEMACO builds the Fresh Pasta Extrusion System Frame using heavy wall stainless steel tubing creating an extremely strong and rigid structure. After grinding and polishing operations, all mounting surfaces are machined to insure a perfectly square assembly. Also, DEMACO does not penetrate structural tubing to insure that watertight integrity of the frame is maintained.
