From Milling to Pasta in Kazakhstan: 4,000 kg/h in Operation, 2,000 kg/h Under Installation
One of Kazakhstan's leading grain-sector investors added Talia Makina's turnkey pasta lines alongside its flour mills: the 3,000 kg/h short-cut and 1,000 kg/h spaghetti lines commissioned in 2025 are in active production today. A second pasta producer running Italian-made lines is now installing a 2,000 kg/h spaghetti line to grow its capacity; once completed, total capacity in the country will reach 6,000 kg/h.
The Two Factories at a Glance
Project Story
Kazakhstan is one of Central Asia's largest wheat producers; flour and semolina are a strong industry here. The project's first investor is one of the leading players in the grain sector: a company with active flour mills and strong shelf presence in Kazakh markets.
Their goal was clear: to see pasta under their own brand on market shelves and to grow in this sector. They sat down with Talia Makina for an investment that would turn their own mills' flour into a value-added product; the project was realized with two turnkey lines.
The lines commissioned in 2025: a 3,000 kg/h short-cut line and a 1,000 kg/h spaghetti line. Both run on Siemens PLC-based automation with Schneider components in the panels. All product-contact surfaces are food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel. The short-cut line produces a wide range of shapes led by fusilli, penne, elbow macaroni and shells; the spaghetti line produces 1.6 mm spaghetti. Capacity in operation is 4,000 kg/h — theoretically 96 tons per day.
The producer is actively running today: present on Kazakh shelves under its own brand, with sales focused on both the domestic market and exports.
The market was validated by a second investment as well: a pasta producer actively manufacturing on Italian-made lines ordered a 2,000 kg/h spaghetti line from Talia Makina to grow its capacity and add spaghetti to its range; installation is under way (Siemens PLC + Yaskawa) and commissioning is planned towards the end of 2026. The pattern seen across our references from Türkiye to Bangladesh and Madagascar repeats here: producers running European and Italian-made lines choose Talia Makina for their growth investments. Once completed, our total installed capacity in Kazakhstan will reach 6,000 kg/h — theoretically 144 tons per day.
The lines in operation are within their 24-month standard warranty; remote support and spare-parts supply are actively running. The picture stretching from the mill-integrated plant in Russia to the flour producer in Uzbekistan repeated in Kazakhstan: for companies producing flour and semolina, a pasta line is the most natural growth step thanks to raw-material integration. Since 2007, we have delivered turnkey pasta factory installations in 18 countries.

How is a pasta production line installed in Kazakhstan?
Project planning, line design, manufacturing, shipment, on-site installation, commissioning and operator training are delivered turnkey from a single source. In Kazakhstan this scope was applied to the two lines commissioned in 2025; installation of the third line continues under the same model.
What capacities were installed in Kazakhstan?
In the first factory, 3,000 kg/h short-cut and 1,000 kg/h spaghetti lines are in operation; in the second factory a 2,000 kg/h spaghetti line is under installation. Capacity in operation is 4,000 kg/h (theoretical 96 tons/day); once the project is complete, the total will be 6,000 kg/h (theoretical 144 tons/day).
Which pasta shapes are produced?
The short-cut line produces a wide range of shapes led by fusilli, penne, elbow macaroni and shells; a round-die change yields more than 30 shapes on the same line. The spaghetti line produces 1.6 mm spaghetti.
Should a company with flour mills invest in a pasta line?
For companies producing flour and semolina, a pasta line is one of the most natural growth steps: raw-material integration turns their own flour into a value-added product and carries their existing shelf and distribution power into a new category. The investor in Kazakhstan added pasta lines alongside its flour mills and entered the shelves under its own brand; you can see the same picture in our Russia and Uzbekistan references.
Is 3,000 kg/h pasta production possible on a single line?
Yes. The 3,000 kg/h short-cut line in Kazakhstan runs as a single line. Talia Makina delivers turnkey installations with single-line capacities from 500 up to 6,000 kg/h; capacity selection is engineered to the target market's volume.
When will the line under installation be commissioned?
The 2,000 kg/h spaghetti line in the second factory is planned to be commissioned towards the end of 2026. It is the growth investment of a pasta producer running Italian-made lines, adding capacity and spaghetti to its range; this page will be updated once it is commissioned.
What automation infrastructure do the lines use?
All three lines run on Siemens PLC-based automation; the first factory's panels use Schneider components, the line under installation uses Yaskawa. Process and recipe management is automatic.
What do the warranty and after-sales support cover?
All lines are delivered with a 24-month standard warranty. The operating lines in Kazakhstan are still within warranty; remote support and spare-parts supply are actively running.
Is the production suitable for export as well?
Yes. The producer in Kazakhstan sells to both the domestic market and export markets. Line and capacity planning is engineered taking target markets' volumes and packaging requirements into account.
