PAVAN GROUP AT INTERPACK '08

At Interpack Pavan Group presented the latest production and process solutions made for pasta, pellets, snacks, breakfast cereals, special products. At the booth there were shown samples of snack pellets which are obtained with steam pre-cooking and are then extruded, as well as others that have visible inclusions of vegetables and fibres suitable to be also expanded with hot air, rather than by frying. These products represent the ideal answer to the request of having a major content of vegetables and fibres, as well a reduced oil content in the snacks. Among the breakfast cereals, besides the typical flakes obtained by extrusion and based on different cereals, Pavan presents its flakes cooked with the traditional process that utilizes steam cookers under pressure. This process is now offered by Pavan, besides the extrusion process with low mechanical stress. As far as the wide pasta field is concerned, Pavan presents gluten-free pasta, based on different types of raw materials, samples of pasta based on particular types of raw materials, such as emmer, as well as instant pasta suitable for Italian-style ready-to-eat meals, based both on semolina, as well as wholemeal flour or even rice.
The range of processes that Pavan has developed and fine-tuned to automatically obtain oriental pasta, is represented by different types of egg noodles, produced on the same automatic line, by some samples of instant ramen that has been dried and not fried, by rice-based bee hoon.
