DIES FOR PASTA MACHINES
Dies for Pasta Machines determine the shape and dimensions of pasta extruded with EXTRUDERS LINE machines. The range includes dies for short and long pasta such as spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle, bucatini, rigatoni and pasta sheets. Selection depends on the required pasta format and compatibility with the specific machine model.

Dies for different pasta shapes
Changing the die makes it possible to produce several types of fresh pasta on the same machine without replacing the base equipment. Available options cover both long and short formats, including spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle, bucatini, rigatoni and many other shapes. Separate dies are also available for extruding pasta sheets intended for further processing.
M, G and P die formats
Pasta dies are divided into M, G and P formats according to the machines for which they are designed. These formats differ in dimensions and fitting, which means they are not automatically interchangeable between different machine types. Correct selection should always be based on the exact pasta machine model and its compatible die format.
Bronze dies and fresh pasta texture
Bronze dies without PTFE give extruded pasta a naturally rougher surface. This texture helps sauce adhere to the finished pasta and is characteristic of traditional bronze-die extrusion. Selected pasta shapes are also available with PTFE inserts, so the die construction should be checked for each specific product.
Selecting a die for the required pasta format
Pasta type is only one factor when choosing a die. Diameter, width and other dimensions can vary within the same pasta format, allowing several versions of a particular shape to be produced. This makes it possible to configure the pasta range according to the specific requirements of a restaurant or production operation.
FAQ
What does a die do in a pasta machine?
Prepared dough is forced through openings in the die, which form the final shape and dimensions of the pasta. Replacing the die allows another pasta format to be produced on the same machine. One base machine can therefore be used for several types of short and long pasta.
What do M, G and P pasta die formats mean?
M, G and P identify different die formats intended for specific pasta machines. Dimensions and machine compatibility vary between these formats, so the designations cannot be used interchangeably. Choosing the correct format starts with identifying the exact machine model.
Which pasta shapes can be produced with these dies?
Available dies cover numerous classic and specialised formats, including spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle, bucatini, rigatoni and other short or long pasta shapes. Pasta sheet dies are available as well. The selection of shapes depends on the die format compatible with the particular machine.
What is the difference between a bronze die without PTFE and a die with PTFE?
Bronze dies without PTFE produce a naturally rougher pasta surface that helps sauces adhere more effectively. Using a PTFE insert changes the contact between the dough and the die and can result in a smoother surface. Construction varies by product, as PTFE is used only for selected die types and pasta formats.
How do I choose the correct die for my pasta machine?
Start by identifying the exact machine model and its compatible die format. The required pasta shape and dimensions can then be selected within that format. Checking both factors is essential because a die with a different fitting may not be suitable for the machine.
