Since 2020 at the service of your pasta factory and your pasta
Essiko Srl 360° Drying
The EssiKo© project was born for fun in September 2020, initially named EssicOtto, to highlight the eighth evolution of the drying cell management software, whose development started in 2011.
In its first version, EssicOtto was conceived as a recording system: a tool to monitor and analyse what happened inside the cell during the entire cycle, identifying critical issues in recipe execution and enabling targeted interventions based on objective data.
Project Evolution
In November 2020, the system evolved into EssiKo©, moving from a simple recorder to a complete control platform, capable of fully managing the drying cell utilities and replacing the previous management system.
Oggi EssiKo ha superato le 100 installazioni, in Italia e all'estero, raggiungendo anche il mercato degli Stati Uniti.
Field experience has allowed us to constantly refine the product, improving performance and reliability. We understood that to achieve truly high quality standards, control alone is not enough: the cabinet structure must also meet rigorous construction criteria.
Our goal is not just to satisfy the customer, but to offer a complete system capable of delivering uncompromising results.

From a pure recorder (EssicOtto), the project evolved into EssiKo, allowing full control of the drying cell and completely replacing the old management system.

Today Essiko Srl is born — a company that will allow the "Essiko©" project to grow and expand into new adventures.
For good pasta, good drying
In the production of dried pasta, what truly makes the difference is drying: the final piece, the "boss" at the end of the video game.
If you use the finest ingredients with unique characteristics, but then fail to dry properly because there are gaps in your drying cell where you can fit a finger... you will understand that you can never achieve a good product.
This is our mission: to improve at every single step, to make the product we sell ever better. We listen to and support our customers to bring innovation and expertise — we are like tailors crafting a bespoke suit.

The team at the service of dried pasta
My name is Vincenzo Tripodi and for over forty years I have worked in the sector of machinery and equipment for pasta factories, from artisanal to industrial scale. I spent 30 years with La Parmigiana di Fidenza (1974–2004) and subsequently 14 years with Storci/Fava Spa in Collecchio, developing deep expertise in every aspect of the production and drying of dried pasta.
Since January 2019 I have operated my own company PastaConsult, providing technical and technological consulting to pasta factories of all sizes. I help those who want to start a new pasta factory, optimise existing production, evaluate or sell used machinery, and bring plants up to Industry 4.0 standards.
It is precisely this direct field experience that has fuelled the collaboration with Essiko Srl: knowing every detail of the drying process — from the temperature curve to air exchange — was decisive in the development of the EssiKo Plus© system.

Having passed the threshold of 50 years, I realise I still have the drive and passion of a young person.
I love what I do and at every moment I always think about the next step, the possible improvement — everything to make what I create its best version. This has always driven me, both professionally and in everyday life.
I have never liked talking about myself — I prefer others to paint my praises and flaws. So I'll stop here and look forward to sharing a beer and a couple of slices of salame with you.
