Dried seafood is a very familiar product to Vietnamese people, this is not only a common food but also a regional specialty, the products are very suitable for gifts. Seafood needs to be dried with a specialized seafood dryer to bring high value products, ensuring dryness and food hygiene safety.
Advantages of drying seafood by machine
Not only does it increase productivity, but using a seafood dryer also provides users with high-value products, ensuring food safety. This is something that consumers are currently very concerned about when using dried products bought at the market. Not only does it bring higher value, but it will also compete better in the market, expand the distribution market such as selling at clean supermarkets, introductory goods, building better brands, exporting products abroad. These are the goals that modern private producers today need to aim for.
Traditional methods of producing dried seafood are often thought of as dusty charcoal drying or outdoor sun drying in unsanitary conditions, with many flies or dust on the surface of the product. These methods often do not ensure the necessary dryness for the product, so when stored without using (bad) preservation tips, the product will quickly become moldy. However, when the humidity is high, the product will be heavy, this is also a way for producers to increase profits.
Seafood dryer ensures that the dried product meets the requirements, drying to the desired humidity. Therefore, the preservation process will be much better, just need to vacuum bag, store in cold room, freezer will be used for a long time, the important thing is that the food is clean.
Suitable seafood dryer
Producers are currently wondering which type of dryer is suitable for seafood. Experience shows that there are many types of suitable dryers, not just one type. There are many types of seafood that need to be hot-dried and many types that need to be cold-dried. Which seafood dryer to use also depends on the production requirements, such as drying completely or drying in the sun…
The images in the article are all provided by customers using Mactech dryers. In general, there are many dried seafood production facilities using dryers today, which not only provide high-value dried products, but also improve production efficiency, save costs, and reduce labor. Suitable seafood dryers are both household dryers and cold dryers, in which the household dryer meets the drying temperature from 40 to 100oC, suitable for fish that need to be hot-dried, while the cold dryer meets the low drying temperature range from 10 to 40 degrees Celsius, helping dried seafood retain its natural color and retain nutrients better. In general, the cold dryer line is suitable for most types of seafood, but the machine value is quite high, so when the producer needs to choose a dryer, they need to see what the requirements are for the dried product, because many types of dried seafood only need to be hot-dried without needing cold-drying to bring good quality.
