Best cavatelli maker for industrial kitchen

I am looking for a good cavatelli maker that isn't going to break on me with multiple chefs using it throughout the week. Any suggestions?

Funny, i just broke mine today, after attaching the power drill and blasting through a batch...though I am a home cook. I am interested in this...googling about, it seems that there are only a couple on the market. They seem to be of similar construction. Looking forward to seeing what others have to say.

I use this in a kitchen aid. I've had it repaired once. That said, I don't use it at production capacity. http://bit.ly/16LnJvi

I saw that one...but $200?

Whoa, yeah. Used to be less when he was a garage-based operation.

It's easily done by hand, if they keep breaking why not save the money? The machine doesn't save THAT much time. I'm not sure the volume you're looking to achieve, but it's a wicked fast process.

Below is the closest I could find to the technique I was taught, only I roll the pasta on a sushi mat to achieve the dents you'd get from a gnocchi board.

You can also stretch/pull the dough and roll it over itself - the way you see old italian ladies kneed bread.
