Industrial Long-cut Spaghetti & Stick Noodle Production Line
Engineered for Breakage-Free Drying. High-capacity turnkey solutions (250kg – 1200kg/h) featuring advanced Vacuum Extrusion and Static Rack Drying technology for premium Al Dente texture.
Why Drying Determines Success?
In long-cut pasta production, 70% of quality issues stem from improper drying. Rapid moisture removal creates surface tension, causing the “Case Hardening” effect. The pasta looks fine initially but develops micro-cracks and breaks days after packaging.
We don’t just dry pasta; we manage its internal stress. Our Intelligent Low-Temp Drying System simulates natural air drying over 8-12 hours. By precisely controlling the relative humidity (RH) and temperature in 4 distinct zones, we ensure moisture migrates from the core to the surface evenly.
- Zone 1 (Pre-drying): Rapidly sets the shape to prevent sticking.
- Zone 2 (Main Drying): High humidity keeps pores open for internal moisture release.
- Zone 3 (Sweating/Tempering): Balances core and surface moisture.
- Zone 4 (Cooling): Gradual cooling to room temperature to lock in structure.

Process Flow Chart
From Semolina to Stick Noodle: A gravity-assisted journey for perfect straightness.
Vacuum Mixing & Extrusion
High-pressure vacuum extrusion (-0.09Mpa) removes all air bubbles. This creates a dense, translucent dough strand essential for premium pasta color.
Rod Hanging & Stretching
Key Difference: Noodles are automatically hung on stainless steel rods. Gravity naturally stretches them straight before they enter the dryer.
Static Tunnel Drying
A strictly controlled 8-12 hour cycle. Four climatic zones (Pre-drying to Cooling) slowly remove moisture to prevent surface cracking.
Cutting & Packaging
Dried pasta is removed from rods. The U-shaped bottom is trimmed off (and recycled), cutting the sticks to the standard 250mm length.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about industrial spaghetti production and installation.
Why is the drying time for spaghetti so long (8-12 hours)?
Unlike short pasta, long-cut spaghetti requires a slow, static drying process to prevent “checking” (internal stress cracks). Rapid drying causes the surface to harden while the core remains moist, leading to breakage later. Our 8-12 hour curve simulates natural drying to ensure a strong, elastic texture.
My factory isn’t 50 meters long. Can I still install this line?
Yes. While a straight line is ideal, we offer flexible engineering solutions. We can design an L-shape or U-shape layout to fit your building’s dimensions. Our engineers will provide a custom CAD drawing based on your workshop floor plan.
What is the most economical heat source for the dryer?
For large-scale lines (over 500kg/h), we strongly recommend using a Steam Boiler or Natural Gas burner. Electricity is feasible but operationally expensive for such large drying tunnels. Steam provides the most stable and cost-effective heat for long-duration drying.
Can I produce different shapes like Vermicelli on the same machine?
Yes. The line is versatile. By simply changing the extruder die molds, you can produce Spaghetti (1.8mm), Vermicelli (0.8mm-1.2mm), Fettuccine (flat), or Linguine. The rod hanging system works for all these long stick noodles.
How do you handle installation and commissioning?
We provide a full turnkey service. We send 2-3 senior engineers to your site to oversee assembly, piping connection, and electrical wiring. Most importantly, they will stay to teach your team how to adjust the drying curves (temperature/humidity settings) for your specific local flour type.
