Product Description
This continuous conveyor tunnel microwave sanitizing system targets dehydrated seafood such as dried shrimp, dried fish slices and dried shellfish. Dried seafood carries hidden risks of mould and parasite eggs, while conventional thermal sterilization tends to ruin the delicate sensory properties of seafood. This equipment adopts internal volumetric heating to achieve microbial inactivation under mild thermal conditions, protecting the commercial value of dried aquatic products.
Microwave energy penetrates stacked seafood materials and excites polar water molecules to produce uniform heat inside the product layer. Seafood spreads evenly on corrosion-resistant food-grade conveyor belts and enters multi-cavity microwave chambers. The closed-loop temperature control system suppresses harmful microorganisms steadily. The built-in vapour removal system timely discharges moisture released during treatment, preventing secondary dampness and keeping the dry state of finished dried seafood intact.
Core Strengths
Internal volumetric heating achieves homogeneous sterilization across seafood piles, eliminating hot spot problems common in surface heating and maintaining the tender protein structure and natural oceanic aroma.
Fine-tuned thermal treatment mode avoids overheating damage. It stabilizes the appearance of dried seafood and prevents the product from turning dark or developing burnt notes after sterilization.
Independent adjustment of microwave power and conveying speed supports flexible production for mixed seafood specifications. Wetted parts adopt anti-salt corrosion material, which resists seawater residue and is easy to rinse.
Integrated safety shielding structure blocks microwave leakage. Continuous tunnel operation raises daily output, and treated dried seafood passes microbial inspection standards for export aquatic food.
