ABSTRACT:
An improved pasta maker (20) is provided having an upper mixing chamber (130), lower extrusion chamber (132), and a communicating passageway (157) therebetween. The mixing chamber (130) is an open top vessel, and the extrusion chamber (132) presents an outlet (148) adapted to receive a pasta forming die (188). The pasta maker (20) also includes an apertured slide valve plate (26), a powered, rotatable mixing element (170) within the mixing chamber (130) for mixing of the ingredients therein, and a powered, axially rotatable auger (174) within the extrusion chamber (132) for conveying the ingredients towards and through the die (188). The valve plate (26) is removably and shiftably mounted within the passageway (157) for selective movement between a first mixing position blocking communication between the chambers (130, 132), a second feeding position wherein the plate aperture (214) is in registry with openings (136, 150) for communicating the chambers (130, 132), and a third cleaning position wherein the plate (26) is detached from the passageway (157). In the second position, the valve plate (26) is restrained from outward movement towards the third position by interengagement of a pair of laterally spaced, upstanding nibs (220) formed on the plate (26) and the inner surface of sidewall (34) of the machine, and restrained from inward movement towards the first position by the mixing element (170), upon the rotation of the same and when mixed pasta making ingredients are in the mixing chamber (130), urging the plate (26) outwardly.
