How to Dry Dried Shrimp in Large Scale?

Dried shrimp, processed from fresh, small marine shrimp, are directly impacted by the hygiene and efficiency of the drying process. Traditional sun-drying methods are subject to weather and sanitation constraints, leading to uneven drying, bacterial contamination, and flavor loss, severely hindering industry upgrading.

How to dry dried shrimp in large quantities? The core of Jinlu Machinery’s solution lies in the perfect combination of optimized mesh belt drying equipment and customized scientific processes. The standardized process is as follows:

Precise Pre-treatment: The dried shrimp are first thoroughly cleaned and blanched (steamed) to ensure initial hygiene and stabilize protein.

Rapid Cooling: After blanching, the dried shrimp enter the cooling stage immediately to prevent overcooking due to residual heat and preserve their fresh and tender texture.

Efficient Drying: The cooled shrimp are evenly spread across multiple mesh belts and then enter the enclosed drying chamber designed by Jinlu Machinery. The equipment uses a precisely controlled hot air system to ensure uniform penetration of the heated air through the material layers. Thanks to optimized temperature, air speed, and conveyor speed parameters, dried shrimp can be dried within the drying chamber in just one hour, producing high-quality dried food.

The advantages of this integrated solution are clear:

Extremely efficient and cost-effective: From loading to delivery, the entire process takes only about one hour, enabling near-continuous production, significantly increasing production capacity while significantly reducing time and energy costs.

Excellent quality and stunning color: The rapid, standardized process maximizes the natural flavor and nutrients of the dried shrimp. The finished product boasts a vibrant color, a plump and intact shape, and a quality far superior to traditional methods.

Clean and hygienic, meeting standards: The entire process is conducted in a closed, clean environment, eliminating secondary contamination and easily meeting stringent domestic and international food safety export standards.
