The Bottene PM35 is a countertop fresh pasta machine designed for professional kitchens that produce pasta in-house as a regular part of service. It extrudes pasta directly from mixed dough, working with a wide range of flour types including durum wheat, soft wheat, and wholegrain, and it handles egg-free and coloured pasta without adjustment. Different pasta shapes are achieved by swapping the die, making it a versatile piece of kit for kitchens with varied menus.In a working kitchen, the PM35 is well suited to mid-to-high-volume pasta production. At up to 8–9kg per hour depending on the pasta type being run, it can realistically support a busy restaurant service with a meaningful pasta section, or a small-scale wholesale preparation operation. The machine is built to Bottene's established standards for commercial use — robust enough for daily production runs and straightforward enough for kitchen staff to operate without specialist training.Practical advantages for kitchen operators include: Broad flour compatibility, including durum wheat, soft wheat, and wholegrain Supports egg-free and coloured pasta production without modification Shape versatility through interchangeable extrusion dies Consistent output that supports prep-ahead workflows Compact countertop footprint suited to kitchens with limited bench space The PM35 sits on a countertop and its dimensions make it manageable in most kitchen environments, though you will need a stable, dedicated work surface and clear access for loading and die changes. It runs on a standard electrical supply — confirm your supply requirements with us before ordering. Cleaning requires regular die and mixing bowl removal; factoring in cleaning time as part of your prep routine is important for maintaining output consistency.This machine is most suitable for restaurants, trattorias, and hotel kitchens where fresh pasta is a core menu element and daily production volumes justify in-house making. It is particularly well matched to kitchens producing a range of shapes across the week. For operations needing significantly higher throughput or continuous production, a larger-capacity model may be worth considering.If you are unsure whether the PM35 is the right fit for your production volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk through the options with you.
