The BELTMIX has been on the market for over twenty years.
The insight with which it was designed and built has made it a cutting-edge machine. After so many years, the characteristics that distinguish it today are still very relevant.
In fact, pasta producers still require and need the Beltmix’s characteristics. If certain details were an added value years ago, today they are no longer details but advantages and are becoming more and more important to a pasta producer.
The Beltmix is a valid alternative to the “traditional” mixing tank. It is ideal for the production of all types of pasta and it is easy to clean. It improves the color and quality of the dough and facilitates shape changeover procedures.
It is a dough preparation system with a hydrating and stabilizing belt. The fact that it’s a dough pre-mixing system (automatic dosing) guarantees the uniform hydration of the ingredients.
The results of the laboratory tests carried out with the University of Parma, Interdepartmental Center for Agrifood Safety, Technologies and Innovation, have shown that the water absorption of the cooked samples, obtained with the Beltmix technology, is better. This means that the quality of the gluten formed is improved and that the level of suspended solids released in the cooking water is lower, confirming better dough quality thanks to the natural hydration process on the belt. Wherever the Beltmix is installed, it has facilitated production management with quick product/shape changeovers (max. 5 minutes), even when colored doughs are involved. It is also easy to access for cleaning which saves precious maintenance time. Furthermore, it enhances the color of the dough, making it similar to the color obtained by a total vacuum process.
Why do we talk about timeless insight?
It has been seen that, over the years, thanks to the Beltmix technology, it is equipped with motors of significantly lower power compared to the motors on traditional mixers. This leads to considerable energy savings which may save you several thousand euros per year depending on your production volumes. Having had the opportunity to evaluate the long-term advantages of the Beltmix i.e. durability and reliability over time, efficiency in terms of performance and mechanical detail are somewhat obvious advantages but not are not to be taken for granted.
