Commercial fish drying machine running in the Philippines

Recently, we received feedback on the use of commercial fish drying machines from customers in the Philippines. The commercial fish dryer uses the principle of circulating hot air to dry fish. The fish dryer has electricity, gas, biological particles, and other methods as the heating source. Finally, the Filipino customer chose a machine that uses an air energy heat pump as the heating source. And the customer chose 48 tray-type box dryers to dry the fish.

The reason why Philippines customer order fish drying machine

Rich fishery resources

The Philippines is rich in fishery resources, with more than 2,400 fish species. Abundant fish resources have brought profits to the local fishing industry. However, fresh fish is not resistant to storage and transportation is inconvenient. Therefore, most fishermen will make fish into dried fish products for preservation and sale. Subject to the influence of the weather, fishermen often buy mechanized fish drying machines to dry the fish.

Large processing demand

This Filipino customer operates a fish processing plant. He mainly buys fish from fishermen and then sells the processed fish to supermarkets, restaurants, and other food processing plants through a series of processing. Due to the large volume of dried fish, he chose to buy a commercial fish dryer.

Various heat source methods are available

The hot air circulation dryer includes a heat source, drying main body, control equipment, fan, and other parts. The heat source is the most important part of the fish drying machine, which provides hot air for the drying box. Because when using the dryer, it will inevitably consume a large amount of heat source to provide hot air for the machine. Therefore, using electricity, gas, as a heating source will cost a lot of money. The application of biomass pellets and air energy heat pumps saves customers’ budgets. The customer also took into account the large consumption of electricity and gas, so he chose an air energy heat pump as the heat source.

Large processing output

The Philippine customer chose a tray-type fish drying machine. When drying, put the tray containing the fish on the trolley, and then puts the trolley into the machine. The circulating hot air in the machine will touch all aspects of the fish, so it can achieve the drying effect. The machine has a variety of different models, the more the number of trays, the more fish it holds, and the greater the drying output.

Drying fish process

It contains a lot of water inner fish body, and its water exists in the fat and oil of the fish body. Therefore, it gets a low speed to drying fish. In addition, fish cannot be dried at high temperatures. If the drying temperature is too high, it will affect the taste of dried fish due to protein denaturation. Therefore, the temperature should be set to a low temperature when drying the fish, and it generates to set to 30°C. And fish drying generally divides into two stages, the temperature of the first stage is 35°C, and the time is about 3 hours. The temperature in the second stage is 4°C and the time is about 8 hours. During drying, it should pay attention to dehumidification and control the speed of drying.

Philippines commercial fish drying machine feedback

Since our machine has been installed, the customer can use it directly after receiving the machine. The Filipino customer bought an air energy heat pump dryer with a touch screen. The intelligent touch screen can set the drying temperature, drying time, and time of each stage. The Philippine customer commented, “We set the drying temperature and time of each stage directly on the control panel. After completing the setting, we only need to wait for the machine to stop automatically. Then take out the dried fish, and then put in another batch of fish. It is very convenient. After taking out the dried fish, we can see that the dried fish has good color and no other taste. “
