Why does your pasta break during drying?

The physical process of drying pasta can cause it to break if it happens too quickly. In this case, the initial dehydration only affects the surface, reducing its volume and creating more or less visible micro-cracks, which over time will cause the product to break.
The solution is slow drying, which allows the water to gradually migrate from the inside to the outside, ensuring uniform drying without internal tension.

Biosec Pro + Smart Dry: the solution for perfect drying

The Biosec Pro by Tauro Dryers is equipped with Smart Dry system, which monitors humidity in real time in the drying chamber and works as follows:
– Closes the chamber when humidity falls below the threshold, retaining the vapour to redistribute it over the surface.
– Opens the chamber when humidity is excessive, ensuring air exchange.

This continuous “dialogue” allows the internal water to gradually migrate towards the outside, avoiding cracks and tensions.
Please note: there is no universal programme.
Each type of pasta (hydration, type of flour, shape, presence of fats such as eggs) requires its own customised drying curve.

From testing to production: the formula for repeatable results

To consistently achieve the same result, a controlled process is required:
– Selection of raw materials
– Mixing and shaping stages
– Customised drying curves

At Tauro, we test every new product in the laboratory and provide our customers with commercial and technical support and after-sales advice, because selling the machine is not enough: we want to guarantee your success.

Practical tips:
If the dough breaks during drying, slow down the cycle.
If it breaks during packaging, it prolongs drying times.
If it breaks during cooking, you're almost there: all you need is a little refinement.
If it breaks when chewing, do not forget to always taste each batch!
