From an original idea of the founder, Augusto Fava, the first continuous short goods dryer was created:
the "Trabatto" (shaker pre-dryer).

This particular event marked the beginning of the company Fava's dryer manufacturing activity.

February 1940

When dryers were made of wood: the continuous short goods dryer, called the "Rotante", (rotary drum) was designed and manufactured.

A new long goods production technique is experimented: the line has been called the "GPL" and it stands out for its mechanical and technological characteristics.

April 1953

The "GM", the production line for specialty shape pasta on trays, well-known for its originality and efficiency.

March 1956

The "Teless" dryer was introduced, the only dryer in the world to move belts with small diameter rollers without the use of chains.

November 1972

The "GPL/ATR", with its high temperature drying technology, represents to date the most important technological innovation in pasta production.

For the production of short goods pasta, a new patented slotted belt chain system is applied.

It's the "TCM" with which any drying diagram can be achieved.

May 1989

The "ITRG" drying line joins the ranks, putting into practice all the most important findings on long goods pasta treatment.

June 1992

The "Romet su albero" (rotary drum on shaft) is created, a dryer which is particularly suitable for the initial treatment of small and medium sized shapes even at very high temperatures.
