Frequently asked questions about pasta line investment

Where should I start a pasta production line investment?First decide which products (short-cut, long-cut or both) you will make and your target capacity.

How much does a pasta production line cost?The price varies from project to project with capacity, line type, automation level, drying system, packaging and the scope of the quotation. You will find the 2026 price ranges and the items that set the price in the Pasta Production Line Cost and Investment Guide.
How do I decide which capacity to choose?You can calculate your hourly capacity need from your target monthly or annual output and working days. The free Capacity Pre-Assessment Tool does this for you. Talia Makina engineers short-cut lines from 500 to 6,000 kg/h and long-cut lines from 500 to 4,000 kg/h.
