2 Demaco Simplicity The Ultimate Pasta Press

The Ultimate Pasta Press The press of the Pastaio (master pasta maker), designed for endurance and ease of operation. DEMACO machines are built to a standard and not to a cost target that is why it is not unusual to see DEMACO presses in operation for over 50 trouble free years. The production of perfect pasta requires a press that provides optimized processing at each stage of production. The DEMACO press is designed to consistently produce excellent Pasta every production run. Pasta so good it satisfies the world s most demanding producers of artisan pasta. The DEMACO press is a unique combination of optimized pasta processing and extreme duty construction built to deliver exceptional reliability over a very long operational life. DEMACO is the world leader in highly sanitary USDA type pasta presses with over 12x the installed customer base of all competitors combined. Control over every key element in the creation of the pasta provides manufacturers with a final product of extremely consistent shape, color and texture. Our design enables the production of a very precise, consistent and homogenous dough mix followed by slow cool extrusion and even extrusion rates. Demaco Simplicity The Ultimate Pasta Press 3

Premixer The original patented DEMACO premixer. In seconds, the DEMACO premixer coats the dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients. This system assures an even distribution across the entire mix. The result is more hygienic and efficient mixing. Function Coats dry ingredients with wet ingredients prior to mixing Processing Key Success Factors Coating dry ingredients prior to mixing Insuring even distribution of liquid and solid particles Construction USDA MID approved stainless steel construction Heavy duty bearings Patented design has no dead spots Disassembles for cleaning without the use of tools Options and Configurations Hardened or Nitronic 60 blades Stellite tipped blades Ceramic bearings for wash down applications Large bore model Custom feed ports Demaco Ultimate Quality The Ultimate Pasta Press 9

Mixer The original and best USDA approved sanitary mixer. Function To deliver a consistent homogenous dough to the extrusion unit To provide adequate residence time and action to allow hydration of semolina particles Processing Key Success Factors Residence Time Mechanical action Control of all process variables and mix ratios The delivery of a consistent dough to the extrusion unit A fully vacuumized mixer is desirable to minimize oxidation and maintain the nutty wheat flavor of durum semolina. Vacuum is recommended for dry pasta operation. Options and Configurations Available in vacuum and non-vacuum models. On vacuum models the entire mixer is kept under vacuum to maintain optimal color and taste profile. T316 Stainless Steel for corrosive additives Total Control system including PLC control over all variables Mixer level control Transverse configuration with multiple discharge ports/ multiple screw Stand alone MX models Snack and cereal configurations Construction All stainless steel construction with no cracks or crevices. The entire mixer is polished to a #3 dairy finish. Hardened stainless mixer shafts and forged mixer paddles are welded in place and carefully polished. 10 Demaco Expertise The Ultimate Pasta Press
