ABSTRACT An apparatus for rinsing extruded pasta product in a container to remove surface starch from the pasta. The appara- tus includes a conveyor on which containers holding a portioned amount of extruded pasta product are conveyed upright in single file, a manifould for introducing hot rinse water into the containers, and rotary draining unit in which the water-filled containers are first inverted to drain off the rinse water and are then returned to an upright position for transfer to additional processing operations such as sauce filling, container sealing, retorting and cooling. A stationary slide plate is provided between the conveyor and the rotary draining unit, and reciprocating arms are mounted adjacent the slide plate to move the water-filled containers from the conveyor across the slide plate and into the rotary draining unit. The rotary draining unit includes a pair of horizontally extending support surfaces mounted equidistant from and parallel to a central shaft around which the support surfaces rotate. A perforated plate is mounted above both of the support surfaces to retain the containers thereon as the draining unit is rotated and the jars are inverted, and permit draining of the rinse water from the containers when they are rotated to an inverted position.
