Abstract
This article presents results of research on manufacturing seafood drying equipment using infrared thermal ceramics combined with forced draft convection. The research results have produced the drying equipment with the following characteristics: The productivity is about 5 kg/time, using the infrared thermal ceramic bar with the wavelength from 2.6 ÷ 26 μm, the drying temperature from 35 ÷ 60ºC, wind speed from 0.5 ÷ 5 m/s, the distance from the source of radiation to the material can be adjusted from 10 ÷ 40 cm, equipped with automation, using the temperature and humidity measurement equipment. In addition, the paper presented the results using the above drying equipment for drying of Greasyback shrimp and evaluating the quality of dried products.
Keywords: radiation drying, infrared radiation drying, infrared heat ceramic drying
