Core Technology & Innovations
- Energy-Saving Heat Pump System
• Closed-Loop Heat Recovery: Recycles thermal energy from exhaust air, reducing energy consumption by 50–70% compared to traditional dryers.
• Low-Temperature Precision Drying: ◦ Squid & Cephalopods: Dry at 35–50°C to retain 90% of natural proteins and umami compounds (e.g., inosinic acid), ensuring tender texture and <12% moisture content. ◦ Shrimp & Scallops: Gentle drying cycles at 40–55°C preserve collagen and minimize fat oxidation, critical for premium frozen or shelf-stable products.
◦ Fish Fillets: Process white fish (e.g., cod, tilapia) at 45–60°C to achieve <10% moisture while maintaining omega-3 fatty acid integrity. - Hygienic Seafood-Specific Design
• 304 Stainless Steel Trays & Chambers: Corrosion-resistant and compliant with HACCP and ISO22000 standards, preventing bacterial growth and allergen cross-contamination.
• Horizontal Airflow Uniformity: Adjustable fans (8–12 m/s) ensure even drying across all trays, eliminating hotspots and ensuring batch consistency. - Smart Automation & IoT Integration
• Real-Time Monitoring: Track humidity, temperature, and energy use via a 7-inch PLC touchscreen with cloud-based analytics for remote adjustments.
• AI-Driven Maintenance Alerts: Predictive notifications for filter replacements and coil cleaning minimize downtime.
Market Advantages
- Global Compliance & Certifications
• CE, FDA, and EU Organic Certification: Ensures compliance with EU, North American, and Asian seafood export regulations.
• Halal & Kosher Endorsements: Expands market reach to Middle Eastern and specialty dietary markets. - Sustainability & Cost Savings
• Solar-Ready Design: Optional solar thermal integration reduces grid dependency by 25–30%, qualifying for EU Green Deal subsidies. • Rapid ROI: High-volume operations achieve payback in 12–18 months through energy savings and reduced post-harvest losses. - Multi-Seafood Versatility
• Batch Adaptability: Switch between squid, shrimp, scallops, and fish fillets using preset programs.
• Value-Added Products: Produce freeze-dried snacks, soup bases, or nutraceutical ingredients (e.g., collagen powders).
Applications & Success Stories
