The Bottene PM80 is a floor-standing commercial pasta extruder built for professional kitchens that produce fresh pasta as a regular part of their operation. Constructed in stainless steel, it extrudes pasta dough continuously through interchangeable dies, covering a broad range of shapes from spaghetti and tagliatelle through to rigatoni, penne, and more specialist regional forms. With the ability to accept up to 50 different dies, it gives a kitchen genuine flexibility without requiring multiple machines.In a working kitchen environment, the PM80 is well suited to mid-to-high-volume fresh pasta production. An output of 15 to 17kg per hour is substantial enough to support consistent mise en place for a busy restaurant service or to supply a deli or specialist food producer with a steady throughput. The stainless steel construction handles the rigours of daily commercial use and is straightforward to clean down between production runs, which matters when you're switching between shapes or dough types.Practical advantages for operators running regular fresh pasta production include: Up to 50 interchangeable dies covering a wide range of pasta shapes Consistent extrusion output suited to high-volume preparation Stainless steel build for durability and ease of cleaning Continuous operation supports efficient mise en place workflows Broad shape range reduces the need for additional specialist equipment At 130kg, the PM80 is a substantial piece of equipment and needs a stable, level floor surface with adequate space for the operator to work around the machine and access the die head comfortably. Given its footprint and weight, delivery and positioning should be planned in advance, particularly in kitchens with restricted access or narrow doorways.The PM80 is best suited to restaurants, trattorias, hotel kitchens, or specialist pasta producers where fresh pasta features prominently on the menu and daily output justifies a dedicated machine at this scale. For smaller operations producing more modest volumes, a compact bench-top model may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume central production facilities, heavier-duty options in the Bottene range are worth considering.If you're working out whether the PM80 is the right fit for your production volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
