How We Manufacture Pasta & Vermicelli

Milling & Ingredient Preparation

In-house milling for rice and select specialty grains gives us control over flour freshness and particle size. For specialty products, dedicated milling available when required.

Mixing & Hydration

Precise ratios of flour, water, and additives are mixed under controlled conditions. For multigrain and protein-enriched variants, multiple flours are blended to achieve target nutrition profiles.

Extrusion & Shaping

Four European extruder lines (Pavan (GEA)) shape the dough through Teflon dies into any pasta format - penne, fusilli, macaroni, vermicelli, or custom shapes. Multiple lines allow parallel production of different products.

Drying or Steam Cooking

Standard pasta enters multi-zone dryers for controlled dehydration. Precooked/instant pasta goes through Italian steam tunnels (Pavan (GEA) and Fava) that pre-gelatinize the starch, cutting consumer cook time from 12-15 minutes to 2-7 minutes.

Quality Control & Packaging

Every batch is tested in our in-house lab for moisture, texture, cooking quality, and food safety. Multiple VFFS packing machines and automated cup packaging lines handle retail, bulk, and cup noodle formats.

Pasta Contract Manufacturing FAQ

What is your pasta manufacturing capacity in India?+

100 MT/day total extrusion capacity across 4 European extruder lines (Pavan (GEA)) - making us India's largest contract manufacturer for pasta and vermicelli. Within that: 30 MT/day precooked pasta (steam cooking), multi-grain and specialty pasta lines, and multiple vermicelli roasting lines.

Do you manufacture gluten-free and multigrain pasta in India?+

Yes. Our strength is multi-grain and specialty formulations - chickpea, besan, millet, and custom blends with heat treatment for superior texture. Gluten-free production is also available with dedicated lines and in-house milling to prevent cross-contamination. Variants include brown rice & maize pasta, chickpea pasta (16g and 21g protein), and custom formulations.

What is instant pasta and do you manufacture it?+

Our steam cooking process pre-gelatinizes the starch in the pasta, so it cooks much faster for the consumer. Instant pasta rehydrates in 2-3 minutes with just hot water (perfect for cup noodle/pasta formats). Quick-cook pasta cooks in 5-7 minutes vs 12-15 for regular pasta - ideal for HoReCa kitchens that need speed.

Do you offer private label pasta contract manufacturing?+

Private label is our core business. We supply leading QSR chains, national retail brands, D2C food companies, and export customers with their own-brand pasta. We handle formulation, production, and packaging. You get a retail-ready product. Custom shapes, nutrition profiles, and packaging formats are all available.

Can you develop custom pasta shapes and vermicelli formulations?+

Yes. Our pilot extruder handles small-batch trials (as low as 50 kg) for new shapes, ingredients, or nutrition profiles. Recent custom developments include high-protein chickpea pasta, millet-based multigrain pasta, and instant pasta for cup formats. Development timeline: 2-4 weeks for new formulations.
