Daxwell Seafood Dryer: The Heat-Pump Solution That Preserves Fresh Flavor

From the dried shrimp of Ca Mau to the famous one-sun-dried squid of Phan Thiet, dried seafood is an essence of Vietnamese cuisine and a high-value export product. However, traditional sun-drying methods are revealing major limitations in terms of hygiene, quality, and productivity, especially when targeting discerning international markets.

This article will introduce heat-pump drying technology and DeAir's smart Daxwell dryer line—a solution that helps seafood businesses create premium, safe, and consistently high-quality dried products.

1. The Challenges of Seafood Drying: The Battle to Keep it "Fresh, Delicious, and Clean"

Drying seafood is more than just removing water. It's a battle against spoilage factors and a race to preserve the finest qualities of the product. Traditional sun-drying often loses this battle:

• Food Safety Risks: Open-air sun-drying cannot control dust, insects, and microorganisms, which is the biggest barrier to meeting export standards like HACCP.
• Inconsistent Quality: It's 100% dependent on the weather. Too much sun can "burn" the product, making it hard and tasteless. Not enough sun leads to mold and spoilage.
• Loss of Nutritional and Sensory Value: The high heat from the sun destroys precious omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, while also causing the product to fade in color, reducing its appeal.
• Costly in Labor and Space: It requires large drying areas and significant manual labor to turn and collect the products.

2. Why "Cold Drying" with Heat-Pump Technology is the Future of Seafood Drying

Unlike traditional heat drying, Heat-Pump technology operates on a "cold drying" principle at a low-temperature range (25-80°C). This process allows water to evaporate gently without "cooking" the product, thereby preserving its quality in a superior way.

3. The Daxwell Dryer: A "Smart Chef" for All Types of Seafood

To meet the strict drying requirements of different types of seafood, DeAir has developed the Daxwell smart Heat-Pump dryer. This is not just a dryer; it's a high-tech "chef".

The core difference of the Daxwell is its PLC controller and HMI screen, which allows users to program and save custom drying "recipes" for each product. You can set up multi-stage drying cycles (temperature, humidity, time) to ensure every batch achieves the exact same quality.

As a Made in Vietnam product, the Daxwell adheres to the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and uses high-end components like the Copeland compressor, ensuring durable operation in coastal environments.

4. An Effective Alternative: The DeAir.RE-H Dryer

Besides the high-end Daxwell line, DeAir also offers the DeAir.RE-H Heat-Pump Dryer. This is a powerful and economical solution for businesses that need to dry at a stable temperature and humidity, without requiring complex multi-stage drying cycles.

The DeAir.RE-H series is still equipped with energy-saving Heat-Pump technology and high-quality components, ensuring optimal drying efficiency with a more accessible initial investment, making it suitable for facilities looking to upgrade from manual sun-drying to modern technology.
