Abstract
A machine for making filled pasta, comprising a first modular unit (10), consisting of a kneading machine equipped with a container (11) within which the dough is formed, and a second modular unit (16), constituted by a ravioli machine, which is able to place filling doses inside the dough for continuously producing tortellini, ravioli, etc.; an extruder or die (12) is placed in correspondence of the bottom of said container (11) of the kneading machine, so as to give a desired shape to the dough at the extruder's output. The extruded pasta is thus conveyed downstream the extruder (12) and inside the ravioli machine.

A machine for making filled pasta, comprising a first modular unit (10) consisting of a kneading machine equipped with a container (11) within which a dough is formed, and a second modular unit (16), consisting of a ravioli machine for making filled pasta, which is able to insert filling doses inside the dough for continuously producing ravioli, tortellini, or other filled pasta wherein:
- a screw or auger (13) is in communication with a bottom of said container (11), said screw or auger (13) pushing the dough into a die or extruder (12), which gives, by means of a forming device, a desired shape to the dough, so that said dough exiting the extruder (12) is folded in a U-shape with the wings of the U oriented upwards so as to form a channel in which said filling doses are placed,
- said machine being located downstream of said extruder (12) and being mechanically connected to said kneading machine.
