Long-Cut Pasta Dosers and Transports

The main purpose of a long pasta conveying system is to connect the output of a production line or an accumulation silo with one or more automatic packaging systems. However, in the creation of a long pasta transport system, some important factors must be taken into consideration: the high fragility of the product, high volumes of product to be transported, the speed of the packaging machines to be fed and the difficulty in changing direction.We handle the long-cut pasta from the stripping machine to the packaging between a special doser that allows constant bucket loading, minimizing product breakage during dosage and ensuring a very high discharge capacity. The system used also allows the removal of any fragments and crumbs of pasta, thanks to the sliding plane equipped with special openings. Pasta transport takes place via double-toothed belts and is dosed via blades synchronized with the motion of the belts so as to avoid blade crossing in the middle of the product during dosage. Blade drive is via guides sliding on ball circulation sleeves, controlled by pneumatic pistons, so as to minimize mechanical efforts and increase the service life of the components.
