The official opening ceremony of the Macaroni Training and Research Center was on October 30, 2015. The guests from the leading universities and Kazakh research centers of Russia, Ukraine attended the opening ceremony including the ATU https://atu.kz/  administration as well as the professors of the "Bread Technology and Processing" Faculty, the students and representatives of the leading  food industry enterprises of Kazakhstan.
Honorable guests valued the importance of the Macaroni Training and Research Center as one of the most important conditions for quality education, innovation study, products development for the population needs.
The Center is equipped with semi-automatic mini-production line for short-cut pasta products made from flour of soft and durum wheat (baking flour with gluten 26-32%). Mini line consists of pasta press PMI 02 and two drying ovens ShS 1. Additional equipment to the line is packing semiautomatic device U-01 and flour sifters MP-03. Pasta press, a double trunk PMI 02 is designated for kneading, shaping, cutting and pre-drying of pasta from flour of any wheat sorts: hard and soft, grids, seconds, semolina and mixtures thereof. The drying cabinet ShS-1 is for pasta drying from the initial moisture of 36.2% to 19% residual moisture. The pasta drying is carried out by forced blowing of hot air. Drying cabinet works in semi-automatic mode. The temperature regime is maintained automatically.
The Macaroni Training and Research Center holds great promise for scientific researches by the university scientists in the industry; seminars and master classes. The Center provides the laboratory and research works on macaroni production technology for doctoral students, undergraduates and students.
