Turnkey Pasta Solutions
Industrial Short-cut Macaroni & Pasta Production Line
Engineered for premium Penne, Fusilli, and Shell pasta. Featuring advanced Vacuum Extrusion and Vibration Pre-drying technology for perfect shape retention.
Why Choose Loyal’s Short-cut Pasta Solution?
Manufacturing premium short-cut pasta requires more than just mixing and shaping. The challenge lies in density control, color retention, and preventing adhesion.
Loyal’s production line integrates advanced Vacuum Extrusion Technology. By removing air bubbles from the dough before shaping, we ensure your Penne and Fusilli have a smooth surface, bright amber color, and excellent cooking stability (Al Dente texture).
From raw material handling to final packaging, we provide a complete turnkey solution designed for 24/7 industrial operation.
Vibration Pre-drying
Unlike long pasta, short shapes like Penne and Fusilli stick easily after cutting. Our specialized vibration shaker separates pieces and removes surface moisture immediately, ensuring perfect shape retention before the main drying process.
Versatile Shaping System
One machine for endless possibilities. Our quick-change die system allows you to switch between producing Elbow Macaroni, Shells, Rigatoni, and Spirals in under 20 minutes. Customizable molds are available for unique shapes.
Hygienic Design (SUS 304)
Built for food safety. All parts contacting food materials are made of food-grade Stainless Steel 304/316. The barrel and screw are designed for easy self-cleaning, minimizing downtime during recipe changes.
Process Flow Chart
A fully automated turnkey line: From raw material handling to final packaging.
01
Mixing & Hydration
Precise blending of Semolina, flour, and water. High-speed mixing ensures uniform hydration of the dough before it enters the extruder.
02
Vacuum Extrusion
Dough is extruded under -0.09Mpa vacuum. This removes air bubbles, giving the pasta a bright amber color and high density.
03
Vibration Pre-drying
Critical Step: A vibration shaker separates the fresh Penne/Fusilli to prevent sticking and removes surface moisture immediately.
04
Drying & Cooling
Pasta travels through a multi-layer belt dryer (3-5 hours) at controlled temperatures, reducing moisture to 12% for long shelf life.
Core Equipment Breakdown
Built with industrial-grade components for 24/7 continuous operation.
The Heart of Production
High-Torque Vacuum Extruder
The quality of macaroni depends on the extrusion pressure. Our single-screw extruder is equipped with a high-performance vacuum pump (-0.09Mpa) to extract air bubbles, ensuring the pasta has a smooth texture and bright golden color.
- Material: Food-grade SUS304 Stainless Steel.
- Gearbox: High-torque design with forced lubrication cooling.
- Control: PLC Touch Screen for precise speed/temp adjustment.
Critical Anti-Sticking Tech
Vibration & Pre-dryer
Short-cut pasta shapes (like Penne) are prone to sticking immediately after cutting. We integrate a Vibration Pre-dryer (Shaker) between the extruder and the oven. This unit vigorously separates the pieces and removes surface moisture using ambient air.
- Function: Prevents pasta agglomeration (clumping).
- Design: Perforated sieve plate for scrap recycling.
- Synchronization: Speed auto-matches the extruder output.
Dehydration System
Multi-layer Mesh Belt Dryer
Gentle drying is key to preventing cracks. Our multi-layer oven uses a low-temperature, long-time drying process. Hot air circulates through the mesh belt, ensuring uniform moisture reduction to the target 12% shelf-stable level.
- Energy Saving: Insulated walls and recirculating air system.
- Hygiene: Stainless steel mesh belt prevents contamination.
- Flexibility: Adjustable drying time (freq. inverter).
Commercial Quality Standards
Our vacuum extrusion technology produces pasta that meets the strict standards of retail brands: excellent color, texture, and cooking stability.

Why Our Pasta Sells Better?
Amber Golden Color
The vacuum system removes micro-bubbles, preventing oxidation. The result is a vibrant, translucent amber color that appeals to consumers, mimicking traditional Italian craftsmanship.
Al Dente Texture
High extrusion pressure creates a dense internal structure. The pasta holds its shape during cooking, doesn’t turn mushy, and offers the perfect “bite” (Al Dente).
Smooth & Integrity
Vibration pre-drying ensures each piece is separate and smooth. No cracks, no burrs, and minimal breakage rate (<1%) during packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about industrial short-cut pasta production.
What is the difference between Short-cut and Long-cut pasta lines?
The main difference lies in the drying system. Short-cut pasta (Penne, Fusilli) requires a Vibration Pre-dryer to separate pieces, followed by a Mesh Belt Dryer. Long-cut pasta (Spaghetti) requires a Rack Drying System where noodles hang vertically to maintain straightness. They usually require different downstream equipment.
Can this machine produce Gluten-Free pasta?
Yes. Our extruders are versatile. By adjusting the screw configuration (shear force) and barrel temperature, you can process gluten-free materials like rice flour, corn flour, and buckwheat. We can provide specific screw designs for gluten-free recipes.
Why is Vacuum Extrusion important for pasta quality?
Removing air bubbles is critical. Vacuum extrusion (-0.09Mpa) ensures the pasta has a dense structure and smooth surface. Without vacuum, the pasta will be white (full of air), break easily during cooking, and have a poor texture (mushy).
How long does the drying process take?
For industrial short-cut pasta, we recommend a Low-Temperature Slow Drying process. Typically, it takes 3 to 5 hours at temperatures between 45°C to 65°C. This ensures the moisture content drops evenly to 12% without causing surface cracks.
Do you provide installation and recipe training?
Yes. We send 1-2 engineers to your factory for installation, commissioning, and training your staff. We also provide basic pasta formulations (recipes) to help you start production immediately.
What is the warranty period?
We provide a 1-year warranty for the entire line (excluding wearable parts like cutter blades and heaters). We offer lifetime technical support and guarantee spare parts shipping within 48 hours via DHL/FedEx.
