Dough preparation.
Where perfect pasta starts.

If you need the perfect solution for every recipe and raw material – Bühler offers two
ways to produce the best dough possible: either the flexible Polymatik™ press, or the
traditional Priomatik™ press. Both technologies employ gravimetric scales, so the
raw materials needed for the given recipe are precisely weighed and fed into the
process, guaranteeing the optimal development of the pasta structure. No matter
what technology you choose, the result is always the best quality for excellent pasta.

PastaSenseTM is a quality monitoring system that continually records raw material

and pasta characteristics in-line along the entire production process. Compared
to infrequent, manual sampling, this solution allows for a quicker detection of quality
deviations.

PastaSenseTM monitors all relevant characteristics with

impact on product quality, such as: Benefits.

Your benefits:
Consistent product quality.

Product quality is always under control. Every three seconds,

PastaSenseTM automatically measures the main parameters
such as color, protein, ash and moisture content. Sensors
can be positioned at the raw material feeding, as well as
along the entire drying process (pre-drying, drying,
stabilization, cooling).

Minimized waste.

Instead of infrequent manual checks, PastaSenseTM

continuously monitors all key parameters. In case of quality
deviations, reaction times are shortened and production
waste can be minimized thanks to an automatic alert
function.

Reduced analytical workload.

Production personnel can reduce repetitive routine operations

like manual sampling and product analysis, and focus on
higher added-value activities.

Optimized processes.

PastaSenseTM features a digital dashboard, which visualizes

historic and current quality parameters. It compares different
production lines and time periods for benchmarking and
performance optimizations.

Improved product traceability.

The report function easily summarizes all measured

characteristics from each production lot. Thus, traceability
is enhanced and decisions about product releases can
be taken in very little time.

The dashboard and report function are both available on an

unlimited number of devices and can be accessed remotely.
