Educational and scientific pasta center
On October 30, 2015, the grand opening of "Educational and scientific pasta center" was held, the opening ceremony of which was attended by guests from leading universities and research centers of Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, administration, teaching staff of "ATU" JSC, including teachers of "Technology of bread products and processing industries" department, students, as well as representatives of advanced enterprises of the food industry of Kazakhstan. The guests of honor highly appreciated the importance of "Educational and scientific pasta center" as one of the most important conditions for obtaining high-quality education, studying innovative technologies, and developing functional products for the population.
In "Educational and scientific pasta center", not only laboratory work for bachelors is carried out, but also the introduction of scientific developments of young scientists of university into production is carried out. Bachelors, master’s students and doctoral students conduct their research work. In addition, seminars and master classes are held in the educational and scientific center. The center is equipped with a semi-automatic mini-line for the production of short-cut pasta (horns, vermicelli, noodles) from soft and durum wheat flour (high-grade baking flour with 26-32 % gluten). The mini-line consists of a pasta press of the PMI-02 brand and two drying cabinets of the SHS-1 brand. Additional equipment of the line is the U-01 semi-automatic filling and packaging machine and the MP-03 flour sifter.
The two-bunker PMI-02 pasta press is designed for kneading dough, forming, cutting and pre-drying pasta made from flour of any wheat varieties: hard and soft, fine and coarse grinding, semolina and their mixtures. Drying cabinet SHS-1 is designed for drying pasta from the initial humidity of 36.2 % to the residual humidity of 19 %. Drying of pasta is carried out by forcibly blowing them with hot air. The drying cabinet operates in semi-automatic mode. The temperature mode is maintained automatically.
Using of educational and scientific center in the educational process is one of the most important conditions for obtaining high-quality education, studying innovative technologies, and developing new products. Conducting laboratory classes in the "Educational and scientific pasta center", where the conditions are as close as possible to the production, allows students to learn the material as much as possible and qualitatively.
