The National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) in Uganda has pioneered a revolutionary fish smoking kiln that significantly reduces harmful polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and drying time, ensuring compliance with international quality standards for smoked fish. This cutting-edge technology is designed for industrial-scale fish processing, catering to growing demands in both local and export markets. The kiln boasts several key features, including a PAH reduction system that lowers levels to below 2 parts per billion, meeting international standards and ensuring safer smoked fish. Its innovative design also reduces drying time from days to hours, improving processing efficiency and enabling fish processors to meet growing demands. The kiln’s uniform drying mechanism ensures […]

In India, solar tunnel dryers and greenhouse-style solar dryers are transforming the fish processing landscape. These innovative drying solutions are being increasingly adopted by various fish processing industries to reduce drying time and enhance product quality. What are Solar Dryers? Solar dryers harness the power of solar energy to dry fish, eliminating the need for conventional fuels and reducing operating costs. These dryers utilize advanced technologies, including conduction, convection, and radiation, to achieve high drying efficiency and productivity. Key Features of Solar Dryers Zero Operating Costs: Solar dryers operate solely on solar energy, reducing costs and increasing profitability for fish processors. Improved Product Quality: Solar dryers help preserve the natural […]

The Improved Zigzag Kilns, successfully implemented in Bangladesh’s brick industry, offer a promising solution for sustainable fish drying. By adapting this technology, the fisheries sector can benefit from increased efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved product quality. Key Features of Improved Zigzag Kilns The Improved Zigzag Kilns feature a zigzag airflow pattern, which enhances combustion efficiency and reduces emissions. This design also allows for continuous fuel feeding, reduced brick stacking density, and other refinements that improve overall efficiency. Applying Improved Zigzag Kilns to Fish Drying By designing fish drying kilns with similar airflow patterns and efficiency-enhancing features, the fisheries sector can benefit from: Increased Efficiency: Improved combustion efficiency reduces energy consumption […]
