Marco Romano – Pizza & Pasta Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Our Verdict: The chromed steel rollers are exceptionally smooth, producing a fantastic, consistent pasta sheet.
  • Heads Up: It's purely manual, so it's not suited for very high-volume, continuous production.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Olive Branch Bistro," a bustling family-run eatery in Canterbury, wanted to elevate their menu and  move away from buying in dried pasta to improve authenticity and  flavour.

"We were looking for a reliable, traditional machine that would last. The Imperia DA426 felt solid straight out of the box. Our customers noticed the difference in texture and  taste immediately. It has genuinely enhanced our most popular dishes."

David Chen – Head Chef

Since introducing it, the bistro has seen a 20% increase in orders for its pasta specials and  a significant rise in positive online reviews mentioning the food quality.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a sturdy, flat work surface or countertop with a suitable edge for clamping.
  • Securely fasten the machine using the included bench clamp until it is completely stable.
  • Before first use, run a small piece of dough through the rollers and  discard it to clean any factory residue.
  • Attach the hand crank by sliding it into the hole on the side of the machine.

Keeping It Going

  • Never wash the machine with water or put it in the dishwasher, as this will cause rust.
  • After use, let any remaining dough dry on the machine for an hour or so.
  • Use a dry pastry brush and  a wooden skewer to gently remove any dried dough from the rollers and  cutters.
  • Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and  store it in its box in a dry place.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pasta Machine

Not sure which pasta maker is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to help you make the perfect choice.

Manual vs. Electric

Manual machines like this offer precision control and  a traditional feel, ideal for quality-focused chefs. Electric models are faster for high-volume needs but offer less tactile feedback.

Material Matters

Chromed or stainless steel is the professional's choice for its durability, non-porous surface, and  ease of cleaning. Avoid cheaper aluminium which can tarnish and  affect the dough.

Roller Width

Consider the width of the pasta sheets you want to make. A standard width of around 150mm is versatile for most types of pasta, from lasagne to fettuccine.

Attachments & Cutters

Check what cutters are included or available. This model comes ready for flat sheets, with cutters for popular styles available separately, offering great flexibility.

Stability & Clamping

A good, sturdy clamp is non-negotiable. It ensures the machine won't wobble or slip during use, which is critical for safety and  achieving uniform pasta.

Why Chromed Steel Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered why premium pasta machines use chromed steel instead of cheaper aluminium? It's all about the quality of your final product. Chromed steel is a non-porous material, which means it won't absorb water, oils, or flavours from your dough. This prevents any metallic taste from transferring to your pasta and  makes cleaning far simpler. Think of it like using a professional stainless-steel work surface versus a wooden one – the steel is more hygienic and  won't affect the ingredients. The weight and  rigidity of the steel also provide crucial stability, ensuring every sheet of pasta is rolled to a perfectly uniform thickness without tearing or sticking. It’s this attention to material science that separates good pasta from truly great pasta.
