Recipes General Recipes for production of “Extruded” Pasta You can use any type of standard flour, durum flour, or Semolina. The Flour mixture should be mixed with approximately 300/350g of liquid for each Kg of Flour, approximately 28-32% by weight. Liquid is typically composed of water or water and eggs.
Cleaning Procedure Make sure the ‘On/Off’ switch on the side of the machine is in the OFF position and the electrical cord is disconnected from the wall. Never attempt to assemble or disassemble the machine while the main power is switched on or the machine is attached to AC Power.
Troubleshooting Machine returns to Mixing after attempting to Extrude The most common problem is trying to extrude product that is too dry. If the machine detects too much pressure during the extrude procedure the machine will change direction and return to mixing:: Ensure that the dough is properly hydrated 28-32% liquid and has mixed enough Certain shapes require extra pressure and may require two or three attempts to begin extrusion (pre-heating the dies in hot water can eliminate this issue).
Maintenance Procedure Maintenance should only be performed by qualified technicians. Refer to your supplier for a list of qualified technicians in your area.
