Introduction: The Importance of Precision Drying for Sea Cucumbers
Sea cucumbers, a nutrient-rich marine delicacy and medicinal resource, require meticulous processing to preserve their quality, texture, and bioactive compounds. Traditional drying methods, such as sun-drying or coal-fired dehydration, often lead to inconsistent results due to weather dependency, over-drying, or contamination risks. In contrast, modern heat pump drying technology offers a controlled, energy-efficient solution. MeiYa Air Source Heat Pump Dryers are engineered to deliver precise temperature and humidity management, ensuring superior product quality while reducing operational costs.
Why Choose MeiYa Heat Pump Dryers?
- Energy Efficiency
MeiYa dryers utilize advanced heat recovery technology, consuming up to 60% less energy than conventional methods. This aligns with global sustainability goals while lowering production costs. - Precision Control
Our intelligent control system allows operators to program temperature, humidity, and drying stages with accuracy (±1°C/±5% RH). This eliminates guesswork and ensures uniformity across batches. - Cold-Drying Mode for Premium Products
For high-value products like salt-free dried sea cucumbers, MeiYa’s cold-drying mode (10–30°C) preserves natural color, texture, and aroma, meeting premium market standards. - Reduced Labor & Contamination Risks
Automated operation minimizes manual intervention, reducing human error and contamination risks during prolonged drying cycles.
Step-by-Step Drying Process Using MeiYa Dryers
1. Pre-Treatment
- Cleaning & Gutting: Rinse fresh sea cucumbers thoroughly (5–6 cycles) and remove internal organs via a 2–3 cm ventral incision.
- Blanching: Blanch cleaned sea cucumbers in 90°C water for 30 minutes until they shrink and develop distinct spines.
2. Drying Stages
- Stage 1 (Initial Dehydration):
Set temperature to 35–40°C with 40–50% RH for 8–10 hours to remove surface moisture. - Stage 2 (Core Drying):
Gradually increase temperature to 45–50°C (30–35% RH) for 12–15 hours to eliminate internal moisture. - Stage 3 (Final Polishing):
For premium-grade products, activate cold-drying mode (10–30°C, 15–20% RH) for 6–8 hours to lock in natural gloss and nutrients.
3. Quality Check
Finished products should have a moisture content below 15%, uniform texture, and no discoloration.
