    I know a little bit about the manufacturing and i can tell you that the problem is lack of proper pressure. The dough is just being gently and slowly pushed through the hole but it has no internal structure. The pressure needs to be WAY higher. Maybe you could craft own extruder using a hydraulic press? Pretty much build a big metal syringe and add the die at the end. Also heat the dough up to 40-45C and keep the temperature through the extrusion.

    Alex, I'm a process engineer that deals with extrusion (for plastics, but maybe pasta is not far off!) Like many people here are saying, getting higher pressure generated across the die will lead to a more consistent extrusion. However, this will quickly lead to *extremely* high forces at the other end of the screw at the crank/gearbox, as well as on the flights of the screw. P=F/A, and the area of the screw core is much smaller than the area of the die. Be sure you use robust enough materials for the screw and extruder housing. I wonder if you could use a twin screw extruder which would knead and extrude your pasta in one go, with one power input. But, of course, this is something that would need to be built :)

    Hi Alex! I used to teach pasta production at my university so i can give a couple of tips: 1) the most important variable is the PRESSURE. Extruders have usually a sensor to measure pressure before the dye. Simply put, more pressure, more texture in the pasta! 2) Water content is extremely important. More water, less viscosity, less pressure. Moreover, less water, more viscosity, higher temperature => pasta breaks! Hope it helps! And keep it up with the amazing videos!

However it's possible with the standard Italian Artisanal Pasta machines, even Marcato ones (not that plastic toy of course). What he needs is a decent small (1.5/3Kg range) decent machine, equipped with bronze auger and dies. Self mixing and extruding in a 2 steps process. Probably not going to make actual spaghetti, but maybe bucatini and spaghetti alla chitarra can be achieved for sure. And all sort of short pasta, including the flat lasagna style (with the proper die). I'm laughing loud just at reading all these alien "engineers" sentencing about processing pasta. Really funny .

    Your die needs time to warm up. Just keep putting the pasta back in until it starts to smooth out. This warmth also helps the pasta hold its shape and begins the drying process. We also use a courser grind of semolina flour. Hope this makes it to you. Good luck!!

    Okay, so watching the pasta come out of the bigger die on your stand mixer at the end it looks like the pressure isn’t evenly distributed, so it’s pulling away on the weakest area of pressure as the closest side of the auger moves away. I’m betting you anything the pressure would have to be even and consistent to get the correct roughness. Something I’m realizing might be possible if your stand mixer attachment had a longer chamber before the die hole OR if you were using a more linear “hydraulic press” pushing the dough through Keep it up Alex! Don’t let the pasta win! THE PRESSURE IS ON

    Having manufactured pasta for a living, you hit the nail on the head. There's a cone just before the die on pasta lines that allows for exactly what you described. Minute adjustments in screw speed/pressure and water to semolina flour ratios help mitigate the variance in the length of the pasta as well. On "long pasta"-type machines this is, however, somewhat of a different case.

    Alex, you might have to use a wetter dough for this machine. The industrial machines you saw at Monograno distributed the pressure across the entire dye so it was even all around and the extruded dough never moved back and forth before getting cut. Since this has a rotating assembly in it, there is one particular spot in the extruder that pushes the dough and it is constantly rotating around the dye, hence why the markings are so even on the pasta on the plate. Its a cycle. I hope this helps. All the best, Luis

    The most feasible way to make a high pressure extruder at home would either be through mechanical advantage (screw or lever) or manual hydraulic (bottle jack). However both would be an intermittent extruder, unlike the screw compressor he has now. But needing to refill the chamber for every batch wouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

    It seems the auger is pushing the pasta through the dye unevenly. As the end of the flutes pass over the dye it briefly stops pushing pasta through that part of the dye. I looked at some industrial designs, and they have a small tapered chamber between the screw and the dye. I think this helps even out the pressure being created by the auger so the extrusion force is more consistent.

    Alex, all pasta is dried in an oven after extrusion, do you forget ? the big ones you made for an home made rigatoni are quite good, try drying them in your oven at low temperature, let'say 60 °C, and then try and cook them...

    I'm happy you got the Kenwood extruder. I've broken mine once. The screw wasn't strong enough. But I am sure my dough was terrible. Can't wait to see you fixing it in the next episode. Make sure to let us know your succesful dough recipe. Good luck!

    speaking from 3d printer pelletextruder experience, the screw being too steep causes those back and forth movements in the dough. try filling it up with more dough, different speeds or a finer pitched drive screw.

    I grew up in a pastificio and had a lot of experience with die extruded pasta, we made mostly malloreddusu (traditional south sardinia dried egg pasta) and looking at the color and "rippling" of that pasta i can tell you that the second machine/tool is probably okay, but youre working with a dough that's a little too dry and most importantly it's behing extruded too fast, this makes the edges "rip and tear" giving you that surface

    Hi Alex, love your videos! It seems to me you are experiencing the "shark-skin" effect dreaded by all people working with polymer extrusion. An easy fix you could try is increasing or decreasing significantly the speed at which you are extruding. Then again the pasta machine may not have enough rpm range to let you fix the issue that easily...

    Alex, in a commercial extruder the water is slowly added to the flour as the machine mixes it in the chamber while the bottom spiral spins away from the dye. ACHIEVING RICE GRAIN SIZE LUMPS OF FLOUR AND WATER IS THE KEY!!! when that happens, you switch the spiral spinning direction toward your die... Extrusion begins. good luck. hydration 33.5%... Vai bello!

    I work in a resturant in italy, to make pasta with our extruder we usually let the bronze plate warming up in a hot water bath before using it. When it's like warm to the touch u can pat dry it (se asciugarlo si dice così) and use it in your extruder.

    ALEX SOMETHING YOU GOTTA KEEP IN MIND WHEN BRONZE EXTRUDING PASTA IS THAT YOUR DIES NEED TO HOT IN TEMPERATURE!! A hot die is a game changer in the development of your pasta gluten, structure and texture. You get your dies hot by keeping them in boiling water of by extruding pasta for a few minutes waiting for the friction to increase your die temperature. Semolina must be for pasta with the exact W and P/L. Good luck
