PRESSA "PCO"

PCO type pasta press operates under vacuum from the dosing units till die exit, according to the technology that proved to be the best. The process is fully automatic. Pasta has a bright colour, compact texture, and good resistance to boiling. PCO type pasta press allows the medium and small manufacturer to complete with the market leaders, because it makes available to him the same extrusion technology and product quality. PCO type pasta press offers all features of an industrial size press: machine is mounted on a platform to allow placing the shaker-pre-drier (trabatto) under the extrusion head. Extrusion head is 90° type with horizontal die, so to allow the use of penne cutter. Cutting attachment has ventilation system to avoid steam condensation. Control panel is placed at floor level but machine can be controlled from remote box placed on the platform.
