Trento #386 Pasta Die Brass

Each die produces one distinct pasta shape, so adding the #386 brings a new option to your fresh-pasta lineup without buying another extruder. The Omcan #386 Pasta Die Brass swaps onto your existing compatible Omcan unit in minutes.

Yes, custom dimensions are available on request beyond the standard configuration. Plan for extra lead time and confirm with the supplier that the modified die will still fit your specific extruder before ordering.

Wash with warm soapy water, sanitize with a food-grade sanitizer compatible with brass (avoid chlorine bleach concentrate), rinse, and air dry before reuse. Brass is naturally antimicrobial, but routine cleaning is still required under NSF principles.

Brass holds its cut tolerance longer under daily pressure cycles and resists corrosion better. Aluminum dies are cheaper upfront but lose dimensional accuracy faster, producing inconsistent pasta within a year of heavy use.

Compatibility depends on the extruder's mounting interface and shape number. The Omcan #386 Pasta Die Brass fits specific models from the Omcan range, so check the spec sheet of your machine against the die before ordering.

The pasta itself signals wear: frayed or torn edges, sticky cuts, irregular thickness, or shapes that no longer match the original profile. Once visual quality drops, swap to a fresh die rather than try to clean the symptom away.

Light surface tarnish is cosmetic and not a food-safety concern when the die is cleaned regularly. Deep oxidation or green-tinged corrosion is different and means the die needs replacement, not polishing.
