Abstract: A machine for making filled pasta includes first and second feeding device for feeding first and second layers of pasta dough, and a shaping device for shaping the filled pasta, located downstream of the feeding devices. The machine controls the advancing of the first and second layers the respective feeding device such that at least along a first stretch of the path of the first layer between the first feeding device and the shaping device, an excess length of the first layer of pasta dough forms by gravity a respective bend along the unrolling direction and at least along a first stretch of the path of the second layer between the second feeding device and the shaping device, an excess length of the second layer of pasta dough forms by gravity a respective bend along the unrolling direction.

Abstract: Machine for making filled pasta including a feeding station, configured for feeding a layer of fresh pasta and a predetermined quantity of a semi-finished food product to a coupling space of said machine, and a coupling device configured for coupling the layer of fresh pasta and the predetermined quantity of semi-finished food product. The coupling device includes at least one pair of synchronised forming rollers configured to rotate, respectively, on a first and a second rotation shaft and defining between the m the coupling space. Moreover, the coupling device is configured for performing, at each rotation cycle of said forming rollers, the production of an element of filled pasta by progressively wrapping said layer of fresh pasta around the predetermined quantity of semi-finished food product. The coupling device is configured to rotate the forming rollers at a variable speed, between a maximum speed and a minimum speed, during a single rotation cycle.

Abstract: A machine for making filled pasta products and which comprises a first feeding device for feeding a first layer of pasta dough and a second feeding device for feeding a second layer of pasta dough; a shaping device for shaping the filled pasta products, located downstream of the first and second feeding devices, with reference to the direction of unrolling the first and second layers of pasta dough; the shaping device includes a first and a second advancing and shaping roller for advancing and shaping the first and the second layer, respectively, each including a respective supporting roller having on its peripheral surface respective moulds for shaping the respective first and second layers of dough and each configured to be assembled to and disassembled from the respective supporting roller.

Abstract: A feeding unit for feeding a food product for a machine for making filled pasta includes at least one feed duct having an outlet and an inlet; a sleeve fitted coaxially over the duct and rotatable relative thereto about an axis of rotation R in order to regulate the cross section of the inlet; an actuator including a stem inserted in the sleeve and movable between a first, retracted operating position and a second, extracted operating position to allow the food product to enter the feed duct and to push at least one single portion of food product out of the duct through the outlet; a second sleeve, fitted between the first sleeve and the stem, the stem sliding inside the second sleeve and the first sleeve rotating on the second sleeve.

Abstract: A machine for making filled pasta includes first and second feeding devices for feeding first and second layers of pasta dough, and a shaping device for shaping the filled pasta, located downstream of the feeding devices. The shaping device includes a first and a second advancing and shaping roller for the first and second layers, respectively, disposed to face and be tangent to each other at a coupling station for coupling the first and second layers around a respective filling and a cutting roller acting in conjunction with one of either the first or second rollers, in particular with the second roller. The cutting roller and the roller of the shaping device it acts in conjunction with, in particular the second roller, are tangent to each other at a cutting station where each product is separated from the first and second layers.

Abstract: An apparatus for feeding pasta sheet into a pasta-making machine, includes a feed device for feeding a strip of pasta sheet along a predetermined path, and a punching device designed to operate on the strip in the stop condition so as to punch the strip and obtain from the strip cut pieces of pasta sheet intended to be wrapped around respective portions of filling, thereby producing respective pieces of filled pasta. The apparatus includes a speed variator device for the feed speed of the strip, interposed between the feed device and the punching device for causing, during each machine cycle of the apparatus, a variation in the speed of a branch of the strip positioned at the punching device which, in combination with the speed at which the strip is supplied by the feed device, stops the branch of the strip.
