An apparatus and a method for making organic pasta.

Abstract

This invention relates to an apparatus (1) for the production of an organic paste. To provide an apparatus capable of producing a fine, homogeneous paste from an organic material with rapid processing times, the apparatus comprises a housing (2) enclosing a cavity (3), a pressure differential source (35) arranged to provide a pressurized feed of the organic material received in the cavity (3), a rotor (7) rotatably arranged within a stator (8), and which together define a space (11) arranged in communication with the cavity (3). At least one of the outer surfaces (9) of the rotor (7) and the inner surface (10) of the stator (8) is provided with at least one of the following surfaces: grooves (36) and protrusions (12) for colliding with the organic material and producing the organic paste.The apparatus also comprises a temperature control system (13) provided to the stator (8) to bring the organic paste to a predetermined temperature.
