Pasta Machines

Types of commercial pasta machines

• Manual pasta extruders (the traditional Italian torchio) press dough through a die with a hand crank. They suit small batches and making pasta in front of customers.
• Automatic pasta extruders mix flour and liquid in a tub, then an auger pushes the dough through a die to form spaghetti, fettuccine, rigatoni, penne, lasagne sheets and more. A cutter trims short pasta to length as it comes out.
• Ravioli machines feed a double sheet of pasta, dose the filling and form the ravioli automatically, far faster than filling and cutting by hand.

Choosing a pasta machine

• Output: work out how much fresh pasta you make on a busy day. As a rough guide, a main serve uses about 120 to 150g of fresh pasta, so a machine making 9kg an hour covers around 60 to 75 serves an hour.
• Batch size: the mixing tub sets how much dough you make at a time. On our range it holds from 1kg of flour on the Lillodue up to 8kg on the PM96.
• Dies: check which dies come with the machine and which shapes you want on your menu. Extra dies can be ordered.
• Bench or floor: benchtop extruders suit smaller kitchens. Larger machines come on their own stands with a drying fan.
• Power: smaller machines run on single-phase 240V power. The largest need three-phase power, connected by a licensed electrician.
• Cleaning: a removable auger and mixer let you clean the machine properly after each batch.

Pasta machine FAQs

Which dies come with the machines?

Every machine comes with dies. On the PM35 and PM50 you choose die pack 1 (spaghetti, fettuccine, rigatoni and lasagne) or die pack 2 (smooth rigatoni, cocciolette, fusilli and casarecce) when you order. The PM80 and PM96 come with spaghetti, fettuccine, penne and lasagne dies, and the manual extruder with spaghetti, rigatoni, tagliatelle and tagliolini dies. Extra dies are available to order: contact us and we'll arrange them.

Do they need three-phase power?

The Lillodue, PM35, PM50 and the ravioli machine run on single-phase 240V power. The PM80 comes in single-phase 240V or three-phase 400V, and the PM96 needs three-phase 400V power, connected by a licensed electrician. The manual extruder needs no power at all.

What is the drying fan for?

The PM80 and PM96 stands have a fan that blows air over the pasta as it leaves the die, which helps stop fresh strands from sticking together.

What warranty applies?

Bottene machines have a 12 month warranty, back to base for the manual extruder and the Lillodue.
