Uses provided for
The automatic P6 machine has been designed, built and outfitted
exclusively for the production of drawn pasta, obtained from raw materials
such as durum wheat flour or bread wheat flour with the addition of water
and/or eggs.
The pasta extruders, to obtain the different shapes, may be of two types,
in bronze or in Teflon. The pasta obtained with bronze extruders has a
rougher and more opaque surface.
With Teflon extruders, the pasta is smoother and with a more glossy
surface. These extruders are more delicate than those in bronze and the
hourly pasta production output is slightly higher.
The machine can be connected to a Ravioli and Gnocchi unit, that is
optionally available.
The technical features of the product dealt with, dimensions, weight,
cutting system etc. are only those indicated in the supply contract and
indicated in this handbook in section “Technical data”.
A different use to that specified shall be considered improper use. In any
case, the machine has been designed for professional industrial use.

Suggestions for pasta production
Any type of flour or durum flour or flour/durum flour mixture can be used
for the dough.
The dough must be kneaded with eggs alone or an eggs/water mix.
The water can be replaced in part by finely-chopped spinach or
vegetables to obtain green pastas or tomato puree to obtain red pastas or
other ingredients: in these cases it is advisable to use hard grain durum
flour.
For good dough, around 300 ÷ 350 gr. of liquid is required for every
kilogram of flour.
This liquid may consist of eggs alone, just water or an egg/water mixture.
Since the moistness of the flour varies according to type, climate and
where it is stored, the amounts indicated must be adapted to the type of
flour being worked by adding or decreasing the quantity of liquid slightly.
The dough is just right when, at the end of kneading, it is in the form of
grains the size of coffee beans. If the dough coalesces into a even mass it
means that too much liquid has been poured in. In this case, before
extruding the dough, add a little more flour and let it mix for a bit longer.
If, however, the dough does not form little balls but remains very floury,
add a little more liquid.

Here below we give a few recipes for different types of dough.
Remember that ingredients can at all times be modified and quantities
changed according to your experience and taste.
Preparation for pastry for ravioli:
Fine flour 70%
Hard grain durum flour 30%
5 eggs per Kg of dough + water
Knead for approximately 10 minutes
The moistness of the mixture between eggs and water must be around
32%.
Preparation of dough for tagliatelle:
Fine flour 70%
Hard grain durum flour 30%
5 eggs per Kg of dough + water
Or
Hard grain durum flour 100%
5 eggs per Kg of durum flour + water
Knead for around 15 minutes with around 33% moisture.
Preparation of durum flour pasta:
(e.g. rigatoni, fusilli, conchiglie, spaghetti, etc.).
For this type of pasta only hard-grain durum flour with 30 ÷ 33% water is
used.
When different types of flour are used it is a good idea to mix them well
before adding liquid.
To take account of the customer’s taste, salt in the rough measure of 2 gr.
per Kg of flour can be added to the dough, taking care to dilute it well in
water.
