Fish Drying Technology

Traditional air-drying relies on natural air-drying, which requires a large area of drying field. Affected by the weather, the labor intensity is high, and it is easy to breed flies and food hygiene. In addition, the smoky fire contains excessive sulfur, the color and luster are different, and the temperature and humidity are difficult to control, requiring manual guarding from time to time. Therefore, under this background, to simulate the environmental conditions of natural drying, the high-efficiency heat pump dehumidifier at room temperature was developed and used in the drying process of fish and other aquatic products.

The heat pump dryer adopts closed-loop drying, which will not pollute the fish, and is easy to operate and labor-saving. Generally, there are two types of heat pump dryers, one is a fish drying room, and the other is an integrated fish drying machine. Next, I will share these two fish drying techniques for you.

1. Fish drying room

The first type of drying is the fish drying room. The beef fish drying room is equipped with a trolley with trays and tray racks. When we dry the beef, we put the beef in the tray, on the tray rack of the cart, and push it into the beef drying chamber to dry. Beef are putted on the shelf car and enter the closed cycle drying room for drying without any pollution in the process. The heat source of the beef drying room is air. The air energy heat pump beef drying is efficient and stable, with strong temperature controllability, greatly improved drying efficiency and drying process, safe and reliable operation of the unit, and long service life. The corresponding heat pump unit can be matched arbitrarily according to the drying volume of the customer, and it can be customized according to the needs.

Components of heat pump fish drying room

One set heat pump fish drying room contains: heat pump drying host, drying chamber, fan frame with fan, trolley with tray. The drying chamber is used 100mm polyurethane insulation board, supporting 304 stainless steel trolleys and trays. The main structure of the beef drying room is divided into: heat pump drying dehumidifier, drying room, hot air circulation system, dehumidification system, automatic intelligent control system, and high-efficiency waste heat recovery dehumidification device.

The working principle of heat pump fish drying room

The heat pump fish drying room uses the reverse Carnot principle to let the hot air circulating blower dry the vegatable. Compressor and other equipment make up the refrigerant circulation system. The fan impeller rotates, the outside air enters the oven, passes through the heater, forms hot air, and then enters the studio through the gap of the air distribution plate, and a large amount of hot air in the circulating flow continues to enter the new air inlet for supplementation. The moisture discharged after recovery is discharged from the exhaust port. The whole cycle makes the vegatable heated evenly and achieves the purpose of drying.

The drying machine can be equipped according to the user's requirement and the production demands.

Advantages of heat pump fish drying room

1 Wide application. Suitable for vegetable, fruit, seafood, spice etc different kinds of material.
2 High drying capacity. Each hour can drying 3-4kg water.
3 Better drying effect. Can better keep material shape , color , nutrition etc.
4 Simple operating. PLC touch screen control panel , can set up temperature, humidity in advance  
5 Low energy consumption. Heat pump system, can save 70% energy.

Other application areas of heat pump fish drying room

Heat pumps fish drying machine can be used in many applications, in addition to drying beef can also be used in agriculture, industry, seafood, grain, herbal medicine, construction, paper products, condiments, mineral industry, etc.
1. Dried fishs such as radish, lettuce, pumpkin, carrot, spinach, cassava, etc.
2. Fruits such as apples, lemons, mango slices, dried longan, dried longan, etc.
3. Dried fish such as sausage, beef, duck, ham, etc.
4. Others it can dry noodles/wooden/incense/herbs/floss etc.

2. All-in-one fish drying machine

The another one is the all-in-one fish drying machine. The drying principle is the same as that of the fish drying room. The all-in-one fish drying machine is equipped with a cart with trays and tray racks. When drying fishs, we put them in trays, put them on the tray racks of the cart, and then push them into the fish drying chamber for drying.
The heat source of the fish integrated drying is air energy. The heat in the air is absorbed by the heat pump compressor. After compression and release, a large amount of high-temperature hot air can be obtained, so as to achieve continuous and uniform drying and processing of fishs. The operation of this all-in-one drying unit is relatively simple, simply plug in and dry.

Components of all-in-one fish drying machine

One set all-in-one fish drying machine contains: power jack, water outlet,exhaust air outlet, supporting wheels, PLC controller pancl, door lock, observation window,circulating air inlet, outlet for hot and dry air, PP tray, stainless steel tray, supporting racks for trys. The fish all-in-one machine has compact structure, good energy-saving effect, wide application range, high drying quality, convenient operation, simple installation and disassembly. It is the best drying equipment for small businesses, drying experiments and scientific research. The user only needs to connect the power to use, it is the easiest to operate fish drying.
