Twin-Screw Extruded Pasta Products

Nine Pasta Shapes for Retail, Food Service and Private Label Buyers

🌾 Product Overview

Our Twin-Screw Extruded Pasta Products include nine different pasta shapes developed for retail, food-service, catering and private-label markets.

The current product range includes spaghetti, farfalle, textured rigatoni, fusilli, penne, jumbo shells, small shells, curved shell pasta and thin flat pasta.

These products are not produced through nine different manufacturing processes. They use the same controlled twin-screw extrusion system, while different precision molds are used to create different shapes, dimensions, surface textures and sauce-holding characteristics.

The production system can process durum wheat flour and customized grain formulations. Whole wheat, multigrain, buckwheat, rye and naturally colored pasta can also be developed according to customer requirements.

⚙️ One Extrusion Process, Multiple Pasta Shapes

Pasta is produced by forcing prepared dough through a precision forming mold.

Changing the mold allows the production line to create different pasta shapes without changing the core twin-screw extrusion process.

The main production advantages include:

✔ Stable extrusion pressure
✔ Uniform product dimensions
✔ Dense internal pasta structure
✔ Consistent shape formation
✔ Reduced batch variation
✔ Firm texture after cooking
✔ Stable reheating performance
✔ Compatibility with multiple formulations

Low-friction, low-temperature extrusion helps avoid unnecessary high-temperature gelatinization during forming and supports the natural flavor and elastic texture of the grain.
