PASTALINE pasta cooking and cooling line INNOVATION WITH RESPECT FOR TRADITION Two concepts which may seem polar opposites, but which unite in Pastaline: a new pasta cooking and quick cooling line which combines the benefits of Italian cooling with modern Cook & Chill technology. Pasta overcooks very quickly and, once cooked, should be served as quickly as possible. But production requirements often do not permit pasta to be cooked in a hot line (cook and serve), for example in airport kitchens or central kitchens preparing meals for hospitals, company and school canteens, or food industries and cooking centres producing ready-to-eat meals. Nilma has thus developed Pastaline, to satisfy the requirement to cook large amounts of pasta to the highest standards, with the right time, temperature and water/pasta ratio. But it also solves the problem of separating cooking from distribution, while maintaining the special qualities of a good plate of Italian pasta and observing HACCP regulations. Pastaline is a genuinely universal cooking and cooling line which can be used for all types of pasta: long format, like tagliatelle, spaghetti, short format like penne, but also gnocchi, rice, stuffed pasta like tortellini and ravioli and other foods cooked in the same way.

PASTALINE pasta cooking and cooling line Perfect results... in the best tradition Once cooked and drained, pasta tends to overcook in just a few minutes. If stored in multi-portion gastronorm containers, it maintains its heat for even longer. But it tends to lose its freshly cooked quality, thus compromising quality. This is usually dealt with by shortening cook times, so that when left to rest at temperature, the pasta finishes cooking by itself. This gives good results up to around half an hour after cooking. But if the food cannot be served within this limit, the only solution is Cook & Chill:...

Integrated cooking programs The programmer automatically controls the cook time and stirring modes (stopcontinuous-alternating). At the end of cooking, the basket lifts automatically to pour the pasta into the cooler. ….and cooling programs The programmer automatically controls the cooling time and unloading into the trolley.

The cooking baskets, counter vats and cooler baskets are polished, with rounded corners. At the end of the job, for effective self-cleaning,...

Everything under control On request, the pasta cooker and cooler can be connected to the “Creative Control Machine Point” software which not only records temperature/ time values, but also: ingredients, quantities and steps required to cook any recipe. Interactive use with the chef’s PC allows you to track all ingredients and log all data. The “CCMP” software also runs fault-tracing on the cooker and cooler to highlight and log any alarm conditions. Accessories Cooler product collecting trolley.
