Frequently Asked Questions about Professional Dryers

The sizes of Tauro’s professional dryers vary depending on the model and requirements.
The most compact model is the BIOSEC PRO, which, with a working area of 3 square metres, can process up to 20–25 kg of fresh produce whilst remaining compact in size (65 x 55 x 90 cm)
Let’s now move on to the B.Master range of dehydrators, which measure 190 x 90 cm in width and depth, with the height varying depending on the model.
The B.MASTER PLUS TWIN XL, the largest and most powerful model in the range, measures 310 cm in width, 90 cm in depth and 175 cm in height.

The energy consumption of Tauro’s professional dryers is optimised and tailored to the needs of farms, agritourism establishments and food processing facilities. Energy consumption peaks only during the initial heating phase, before falling during the drying process, in accordance with the parameters set by the programmes.
The installed power ratings range from 2 kW to 15 kW, depending on the model and configuration.
Actual consumption depends on many factors, such as the type of produce (e.g. tomatoes versus herbs), the size of the pieces, and the desired result.
As a rough average guide, energy consumption of around 1 kWh per kilogram of fresh produce processed can be taken as a figure.

The Biosec Pro dehumidifier, the smallest in the professional range, disperses moisture into the room, requiring only normal air circulation.
The B.Master models, which have a larger capacity and therefore generate a greater volume of humid air to be removed, can easily be channelled outside to keep the room dry and suitable for drying.

The room in which the dryer is installed does not require any specific conditions. Naturally, the space must comply with current health and hygiene regulations and, in any case, be suitable for the specific use of the dryer. For the Biosec Pro, which is ideal for start-ups, processing laboratories and small-scale production, a workbench capable of supporting its weight may be sufficient. The installation site must be adequately ventilated. For the BMaster range, a suitable ducting system is required to expel moisture directly to the outside. The Biosec Pro dryer, ideal for start-ups, processing laboratories and small-scale production, can be placed on any stainless steel workbench.

No, all our dryers are "plug-and-play" devices and are delivered fully assembled and ready for use.
The Biosec Pro model is powered by a standard 230V socket and can therefore be used with normal domestic mains power, which is available in any situation.
For B.Master models, it is sufficient to ensure that a suitable socket is available for the chosen professional dryer model; in any case, the machine will be delivered ready for use.

Tauro’s professional dryers are made entirely from stainless steel, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene for every food processing operation.
The AISI 304 stainless steel used for the drying racks means that the racks can be washed in industrial dishwashers or with a high-pressure washer.
The interior walls, which have no sharp edges, make daily sanitisation easier, in full compliance with HACCP requirements.
Cleaning every part of the dryer is straightforward, and is recommended not only for health and regulatory reasons, but also to ensure the machine has a long service life.

Yes, the software installed as standard in every Tauro dryer includes a timer function. It is possible to programme complete cycles and activate the hold phase at the end, preventing the product from re-moistening. This enables laboratories and businesses to optimise their time, working safely even at night and removing the product from the dryer when convenient, even if the cycle has already finished.

Yes. All Tauro Biosec Pro and Tauro B.Master professional dryers are fitted as standard with an integrated Wi-Fi module and meet the interconnectivity and data traceability requirements set out by Industry 4.0 and European funding schemes (e.g. PSR, PNRR). Tauro Essiccatori will provide all the necessary technical documentation to support applications for funding schemes and investments by farms, start-ups and laboratories.
