Shrimp Shell Dryer
Even drying, superior product quality
Even drying avoids scorching & fragmentation, well preserves chitin, protein and nutrients inside shrimp shells.
Continuous automated mass production
Full-automatic continuous operation, large hourly output, suitable for large-scale seafood processing factories.
Highly adaptable to various raw materials
Available for shrimp head, crab shell, seafood leftovers and various biomass raw materials drying.
Product Overview
The Shrimp Shell Dryer is a drying machine specifically designed for processing shrimp shell waste from the aquaculture industry. It can be paired with various heat sources, such as biomass pellet burners and natural gas, and features a fully automated production line from the feeding of wet material to the discharge of dry material. As a leading industrial drying machine for the resource recovery of aquaculture waste, it is widely suitable for use in everything from small and medium-sized processing plants to complete production lines in large-scale aquaculture industrial parks.
Raw Material Compatibility
The Shrimp Shell Dryer is engineered to efficiently dehydrate high-moisture seafood byproducts, with a primary focus on shrimp shells. Designed to handle the unique challenges of high-chitin content, this dryer ensures thorough and uniform drying. Beyond shrimp, its robust design offers exceptional versatility for processing crab shells, krill, dried shrimp, and shrimp heads. This multi-functional capability allows processing plants to consolidate diverse waste streams into a single, efficient operation, significantly boosting equipment utilization and enabling expansion into comprehensive aquatic waste management.
Application Scenarios
Feed manufacturers:
Crushed dried shrimp shells are used as high-protein additives in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed, replacing fish meal to reduce raw material costs;
Seafood processing plants:
Integrated with shrimp peeling production lines, they process production waste on-site, turning waste into valuable resources and increasing the overall profitability of the production line;
Bio-organic fertilizer plants:
Dehydrated shrimp shells are fermented to produce organic fertilizer for use in fruit, vegetable, and crop cultivation.
