The improved machine for manufacturing short cut varieties of Italian pasta ("orecchiette", etc.) comprises three cascaded units: a first unit (1), with screw feeders, by which pasta mix is fed in and extruded into sticks; a second unit (6) by which the pasta sticks are cut into cylindrical pellets (7); and a third unit (13) by which the pasta pellets are gathered up and shaped, comprising a first knurled roller (14) and a forming plate (16) with a bead (17), which operate in conjunction to the end of flattening and curling the pellet (7), and a second roller in soft material that rotates in the opposite direction to the first roller (14) and interacts with a third roller (18), carrying a projection (19), to form the pasta into the typical cup shape of the varieties in question. |
