DEMACO invented and patented the first premixer in 1975. The unique blade pattern of this premixer dramatically improved mixer operation and delivered unprecedented pasta quality to DEMACO customers worldwide.

The DEMACO pasta press is renowned for its reliability and exceptional pasta quality.

Our Culinary Series is a unique blend of the latest automated technology and the gentle, slow pasta processing of days gone by.

Mixing – high precision mixers with extended residence time for superior dough development.

Extrusion units – extremely durable and reliable, our extrusion units are designed for slow-cool extrusion.

Calibrated heads and dies – our low shear, high flow extrusion heads are made of stainless steel. Designed for strength and long life they are thermally controlled for optimum startup and production efficiency.

DEMACO’s ControlX suite of hardware and software has proven to be the most precise and reliable in the pasta industry.

• Moisture accuracy to 1/10%
• Automatic control of mix moisture, residence time and temperature
• Self-calibrating feeders
• Hygienic design Loss-in-weight systems
• Retrofittable to older systems

The DEMACO MX series mixers offer several key benefits to pasta makers.

• ControlX mixer feed systems are the most precise and reliable in the industry.

• Durable and proven construction. Our mixers have been proven to be extremely tough and durable. We have a significant number of units in daily operation for over 45 years.

• Sanitation – the DEMACO mixer is unique in that mixer paddles are preset to an ideal flow pattern from the factory. They are then welded into place with a generous radius – followed by extensive hand polishing to provide a smooth and continuous surface with no cracks or crevices to provide harborages for pathogens. The DEMACO is the only pasta mixer that meets FSMA standard.

When DEMACO first invented and patented the premixer in 1970 we knew we had something special. Pasta mix quality took a giant leap forward and pasta machinery design was forever changed.

Today we produce our Gen III premixer and it is a marvel of excellence.

Our Gen III premixer features several benefits that pasta makers appreciate.

• Sanitary construction with all welds hand-ground and polished.

• Multi-port injection of liquid for balancing flow into the stream.

• The blade pattern from the original patented premixer provides excellent liquid-solid distribution.

• Self-aligning screw and door.

• Easy to clean and maintain.

DEMACO provides controls and automation solutions to its customers in the food industry, ranging from simple to complex.

DEMACO produces heavy-duty pasta dough sheet formers and laminating rolls. Our laminated pasta systems are custom- engineered solutions that take into consideration dough shear, sheet speed, and the desired end product. Our systems include extrude to laminator, straight-line laminator and double cross-lamination sheet formers.

• Our pasta laminating systems are made from heavy-duty stainless steel and have extreme-duty bearings and drives.

• DEMACO also manufactures high-performance noodle cutters and combs to your product width specifications.

• DEMACO uses laser loop sheet speed management to regulate dough flow between lamination stations.

DEMACO designs and manufactures treatment centers for the pasteurization of pasta and other process steps.

In addition to our standard product line of pasta machinery, DEMACO does special projects for food manufacturing customers. These are typically large capital projects that require precision, speed, and automation.

Our engineers are highly experienced in pasta production and understand the high performance standards set by our customers. We have a track record of completing the most demanding capital projects on time and above performance expectations.
