Engineering Pasta: How TwinLab Extrusion Enhances Shape and Consistency
The production of pasta is a classic example of an extruder application. Various raw materials can be used to make pasta. Durum wheat semolina is traditionally used. Different die inserts allow for a range of shapes.
Pasta is often produced in a continuous process. Whether spaghetti, tagliatelle or macaroni, they can all be made
using a twin-screw extruder. Various raw materials can be used to achieve this, but the majority of pasta is made from durum wheat semolina. Depending on the raw material, a wide variety of results can be achieved. Extrusion technology is a process in which a material or a mixture of materials is pressed through an opening or die with a defined shape. The shear force required for this is generated mechanically via the pressure caused by the rotation of the screws.
