Abstract
An apparatus and method for producing extruded elongate pasta of substantially even lengths. The apparatus includes: an extruder; a first cutter for cutting uneven tip portions of the bunches of elongate pasta; a second cutter for cutting the bunches of the elongate pasta, whose uneven tip portions have been cut, into an even length; and a sorting part for selectively sorting the bunches of elongate pasta having been cut into the even length with the second cutter from the uneven tip portions having been cut with the first cutter.
Claims16
An apparatus for producing extruded elongate pasta of substantially even lengths comprising:
- an extruder for forming elongate pasta;
- a first cutter for cutting tip portions of bunches of elongate pasta having been extruded from and dangling from said extruder;
- a second cutter for cutting the bunches of the elongate pasta, whose tip portions have been cut, into an even length;
- and
- a sorting means for selectively sorting the bunches of elongate pasta having been cut into the even length with the second cutter from the tip portions having been cut with the first cutter,
- wherein said extruder, said second cutter, said first cutter and said sorting means are disposed in this order from a top to a bottom in substantially a vertical direction.
A method for producing extruded elongate pasta of substantially even lengths comprising the steps of:
- cutting tip portions of bunches of elongate pasta having been successively extruded from and dangling from an extruder for forming elongate pasta;
- and
- cutting the bunches of elongate pasta, whose tip portions have been cut, in a predetermined position,
- wherein the steps are repeatedly executed, whereby bunches of elongate pasta of a substantially even length are produced.
A method for producing extruded elongate pasta of substantially even lengths comprising the steps of extruding pasta dough from a die to form bunches of elongate pasta having tip portions, continuously operating a first cutter so as to constantly cut the tip portions of the bunches of elongate pasta, intermittently halting the first cutter at a predetermined interval during which said tip portions are substantially cut and operating a second cutter while the first cutter is being halted so as to cut the bunches of elongate pasta, whose tip portions have been cut, in a predetermined position, whereby the bunches of elongate pasta of a substantially even length are produced.
