Smart manufacturing leads the transformation of the pasta industry, and dietary innovation opens up a diversified market
Smart manufacturing reshapes pasta production
In core pasta production areas such as Italy and the United States, automated production lines have become a key force in reshaping the traditional pasta manufacturing process. Take the Barilla Group in Bologna, Italy as an example. Its newly introduced twin-screw extruder can accurately control the moisture and temperature of the dough with the help of AI algorithms. This technological innovation has achieved remarkable results, not only greatly improving the forming efficiency of macaroni by 30%, but also successfully reducing the loss of raw materials by 30%.
In this field, Jinan Bright Machinery's single-screw extruders and twin-screw extruders also perform well. They have strong production capacity and can produce macaroni in various shapes such as spirals and waves, fully meeting the market's demand for different shapes of pasta. At the same time, the output can also be customized according to the actual needs of customers. Whether it is batch production in small processing plants or large-scale manufacturing in large enterprises, it can be perfectly adapted, providing a flexible and efficient solution for pasta production companies.
Our equipment is also equally adaptable to raw materials. It can be compatible with high-protein or gluten-free raw materials such as whole wheat, quinoa, and chickpea flour, which effectively meets the current market demand for healthy diets and provides rich choices for people with gluten allergies and consumers who pursue a healthy life.
In the field of energy saving and consumption reduction, the low-temperature drying technology launched by Germany's BECK company has become a new highlight in the industry. Compared with the traditional hot air drying method, this technology can reduce energy consumption by 45%, while retaining the nutrients in pasta to the greatest extent, providing a feasible path for the sustainable development of pasta production. In addition, pasta 3D printing equipment has now entered the trial stage, and it is expected to achieve personalized customized production of special shapes such as spirals and waves in the future, opening a new era of flexible manufacturing of pasta "customized on demand".
Dietary innovation promotes the expansion of the pasta market
With the acceleration of the pace of life of consumers, the ready-to-eat food market has shown an explosive growth trend. The "Nissin macaroni cup" launched by Japan's Nissin Foods uses advanced freeze-drying technology to achieve the convenient experience of "3 minutes of rehydration and ready to eat". The annual sales growth rate of this product in the North American market is as high as 67%. The Chinese brand "Zi Hai Guo" also keenly captured the business opportunities of the late-night snack economy and launched instant macaroni with spicy crayfish flavor, which successfully attracted the attention of young consumers.
With healthy eating becoming a mainstream trend, innovations in the health functions of pasta products are emerging in an endless stream. The pea protein pasta launched by Canadian brand PastaFit contains up to 25 grams of protein per 100 grams, accurately targeting the nutritional needs of fitness people. The American brand Barilla ProteinPLUS incorporates chia seeds and flax seeds into noodles, focusing on supplementing dietary fiber and Omega-3 for consumers.
Local areas also show unlimited creativity in integrating pasta with local flavors. The "Pineapple Bun Baked Sweet and Sour Pork Macaroni" launched by Guangdong Tea Restaurant replaces the traditional noodle bowl with crispy pineapple buns, which is unique; the combination of Thai Tom Yum Goong soup base and macaroni has become a popular item in the takeaway market; the "Grilled Macaroni Roll" made by Lebanese barbecue restaurants using macaroni instead of pita bread has brought consumers a new cross-cultural food experience.
Future Outlook of Pasta Industry
With the in-depth application of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, 3D printing and intelligent sensing in the food industry, the pasta manufacturing industry is gradually transforming and upgrading from large-scale standardized production to "efficient, green and customized". Relevant data show that the global healthy pasta market has an annual compound growth rate of 18%, and pre-orders for personalized customized products have increased by 200%, which fully demonstrates consumers' enthusiasm and expectations for technology-enabled food.
Industry analysts pointed out that intelligent manufacturing has not only greatly improved the efficiency of pasta production, but also expanded traditional pasta from a single staple food to a "universal ingredient" suitable for multiple scenarios through raw material innovation and flavor fusion. Under the general trend of intelligent upgrading of the global supply chain, consumers in the future are expected to enjoy more convenient, healthy and regionally distinctive pasta products, and witness the charm brought by the deep integration of traditional food industry and modern technology.
