PIZZA AND PASTA FLOUR PREMIXES

KB2SC00600DD

The Challenge

For a manufacturer of specialised flour formulations for pizza and pasta, we were commissioned to supply a paddle mixer to be integrated into their new production line.
The products to be processed consist of various types of flour and additives (salt, spices, and flavourings) used to produce pasta and pizza bases and premixes.

The machine, designed to be installed directly above an MC² ribbon blender (supplied as part of the same package), is tasked with quickly blending the premixes while ensuring excellent dispersion of all ingredients. This guarantees a top-quality product before it is discharged into the buffer ribbon blender below and subsequently transferred to the packaging department.
