Many people often think that they have to use a cold dryer to dry seafood well, but in fact, it is not true, using a Hot air dryer with a large capacity and fast-drying wind is suitable for seafood. Drying in the sun or fast drying both require heat drying, usually from 40-60^oC is suitable for dried fish, dried meat, the important thing is to have strong drying wind to dry the outer layer of fish skin quickly. Cold drying is also good but fish often has a fishy smell, not as fragrant as hot drying, so the most effective is to dry at moderate heat and the important thing is to dry very quickly. The commonly used seafood dryers, compiled from Mactech customers, are models from 50kg to 200kg such as MSD500 to MSD2000.

The fish is filtered, cut into bite-sized pieces, marinated, and dried to meet requirements, when eating, just fry it again and use it immediately, very delicious. This is also a way to produce specialty products from freshwater fish, the important thing is to have the right drying equipment, the fish should not be dried for too long because it will lose the aroma of the fish, and the high temperature should not be dried because it will melt the fat layer of the fish, making it more difficult to dry and making the fish meat more crumbly. Therefore, the seafood dryer needs to have a low-temperature range and a fast drying wind speed, absorbing moisture very quickly, and must be faster than drying other vegetable products.
