Commercial Pasta Machine / Pasta Extruder

A pasta extruder will automatically mix and knead pasta dough using any flour including semolina, which is then extruded under very high pressure through a die to form a variety of pasta shapes, such as macaroni, spaghetti, wagon wheels and more. Pasta extruders vary in size, from small models which are designed to be used at home to huge industrial pasta machines used by food manufacturing companies to produce high volumes of pasta. Commercial pasta machines may be used by restaurants to make fresh pasta. The design of a pasta machine typically includes a chamber for pasta dough, which is attached to the housing for the die used to generate the pasta shape. Using a lever or a crank, the user forces the dough through the chamber and out the die, creating the desired shape.
