Computerised Control System

Centralina EssiKo

The EssiKo system makes no promises of miracles: it is the concrete answer for those who want to have full control of the pasta drying process. Through continuous recording of Temperature and Humidity, you always know what is happening inside your cell, at every moment.

Data is recorded every 30 seconds: consult the graph or the table, intervene immediately in the process, identify shortcomings and improve them. Your pasta product gains in quality and consistency.

Recording every 30 s

Temperature and Humidity continuously saved. Every change is tracked.

Recipe Management

Program and store drying recipes for every type of pasta.

Live Time Graph

View the real-time trend of temperature and humidity over time.

Error Diagnosis

Visually identify process shortcomings and intervene immediately.

EssiKo Plus Bottometro — Pasta Drying Phase Controller Bottometro
Bottometro — verifying dried pasta consistency in operation Bottometro in funzione da un cliente

Controller / Highlighter of the Drying Phase

Bottometro

The Bottometro is Essiko Srl's laboratory instrument that controls and highlights the correct pasta drying phase. Its purpose is to verify the stability of the produced pasta as well as the correct calibration of the drying plant (drying curve).

The function of the Bottometro is essentially to rapidly induce the potential phenomenon of spontaneous pasta breakage which, in the case of an unstable or incorrectly dried product, can manifest even after long storage periods. In this way it quickly triggers pasta breakage to verify its consistency before it is placed in the curing trolley, preventing the compromise of an entire batch already in the cell.

Correct Phase

Visually signals when the pasta is within the correct drying window.

Deviation Alarm

Immediately alerts if the process deviates from optimal drying parameters.

Quality Pasta

Ensures that every batch of pasta is dried with uniform and consistent quality.

Native Integration

Integrates with the EssiKo Control Unit and also works as a standalone tool.

Accessories for Pasta Production

Accessori EssiKo

Complementary products designed and built by Essiko Srl to optimise every stage of artisanal and industrial pasta production.

Our story

From experience
to continuous improvement

Hundredth installation reached
including in the United States

The EssiKo control system has reached, and exceeded, its hundredth installation, both domestically and abroad — we even reached the United States despite a particularly difficult period.

Despite our efforts there was always something that did not fully satisfy our ambitions: the obstacle lay in the drying chamber itself, which did not have the right characteristics to achieve that illusion called perfection.

The customer was and remained satisfied, but we always felt that something was missing — that little thing that left a bitter aftertaste. We wanted the cake and the cherry on top. That is how EssiKo Plus was born.

Technical features

Six innovations for
your Drying Cell.

  1. 01
    Single Hermetic Door

    A single opening ensures hermetic sealing of the chamber, eliminating any air leakage. No draughts, no loss of efficiency.

  2. 02
    6 Uniform Sides

    Floor made of the same material as the walls: perfectly uniform temperature on all six sides of the drying chamber.

  3. 03
    Dual Probe

    Two independent temperature and humidity sensing probes provide a clearer and more precise cross-reading of every internal variation.

  4. 04
    Directional Extraction

    Humidity is extracted based on the active ventilation direction, equalising air circulation and maximising drying effectiveness.

  5. 05
    Dual-Step Heating

    Full power only in the initial phase. In subsequent phases, power equal to or less than 50% is used, with significant energy savings compared to electric resistance cells.

  6. 06
    Real-Time Monitoring

    Live display of all physical quantities: both in numerical format and via a time graph, for complete and immediate process control.

Heating Power Management

Phase 1 – Initial Heating 100%
Phase 2 – Stable Maintenance ≤50%

Guaranteed energy savings compared to traditional cells, without compromising process quality.

Energy savings

Less energy
Same final result

The dual-step heating system is one of the key innovations of EssiKo Plus. Full power is engaged exclusively during the critical start-up phase, when the chamber needs to quickly reach the working temperature.

Once the optimal condition is reached, the system automatically reduces output to no more than 50%, keeping internal conditions stable with significantly lower energy consumption compared to traditional cells.

The best system for managing your pasta drying

Essiko e Essiko plus

Thanks to the integrated monitoring system, it is possible to follow the progress of the process both through direct numerical values and via a time graph that traces the evolution of temperature and humidity over time. The dual probe always guarantees a reliable and balanced reading.
