Fish Dryer Dryer Machine
Fish Dryer Machine with a capacity of 100 to 500 kg per hour is a
large-scale continuous system designed to maintain the nutritional value,
texture, and color of the seafood while removing moisture efficiently.
For this high-volume capacity, Continuous Belt Dryers or Heat Pump
Tunnel Dryers are the industry standard.

Why Heat Pump
Technology is Better for Fish
If you are exporting
or selling premium dried fish, Heat Pump heating is superior to
traditional fire-based heating:
- No Smell/Contamination: No smoke or fuel fumes touch the fish.
- Texture: Prevents "case hardening" (where the outside is dry but
the inside is raw).
- Salt Resistance: Since these systems often recirculate
air, they are built with higher-grade anti-corrosive materials.
