Core Innovations & Technology
- High-Efficiency Heat Pump System
• Closed-Loop Heat Recovery: Inspired by heat pump dryer principles, MeiYa’s system recycles 90% of waste heat, reducing energy consumption by 75% compared to conventional electric or gas dryers. This aligns with industrial sustainability goals and minimizes carbon footprints.
• Precision Temperature Control: Adjustable range of 35–65°C ensures optimal drying for delicate seafood:
◦ Scallops: Dry at 40–50°C to retain 90% of natural proteins and umami compounds, achieving <10% moisture for gourmet ingredients.
◦ Squid: Gentle cycles at 45–55°C preserve collagen and prevent rubbery textures, critical for premium dried snacks. - Hygienic & Durable Design
• SS304 Stainless Steel Trays/Chambers: Compliant with HACCP and ISO22000 standards, these corrosion-resistant components prevent cross-contamination and ensure allergen-free processing.
• Horizontal Airflow Uniformity: Adjustable fans (8–15 m/s) distribute heat evenly across 24 modular trays, eliminating moisture gradients and case hardening. - Smart Automation & IoT Integration
• AI-Driven Drying Profiles: Preprogrammed settings for scallops, squid, and mixed batches optimize drying time and energy use. Real-time humidity and temperature monitoring via a 10-inch touchscreen reduces manual oversight.
• Predictive Maintenance Alerts: Sensors detect filter blockages or compressor inefficiencies, slashing downtime by 30%.
Market Advantages
- Unmatched Energy Savings
• 75% Lower Energy Costs: Heat pump technology reduces operational expenses significantly, with payback periods as short as 12–18 months for high-volume users.
• Solar-Ready Design: Optional integration with renewable energy systems further cuts grid dependency, qualifying for EU Green Deal subsidies. - Global Compliance & Certifications
CE-certified with FDA, Halal, and MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) endorsements, ensuring access to EU, North American, and premium Asian markets. - Versatile Applications
• Nutraceutical Production: Create collagen-rich squid powder or omega-3-packed scallop extracts for the $200 billion functional food industry. • Culinary & Retail Markets: Supply gourmet dried scallops to Michelin-starred kitchens or shelf-stable squid snacks to supermarkets.
