Solar dryer with electrical back up-20 kg
The dryer assembly comprised of solar flat plate collectors with an area of 10 m2 for harnessing solar energy to heat the air. This hot air flows in to the drying chamber for drying the product. When solar radiation is not sufficient during cloudy/rainy days to heat the air for circulation, alternative electrical back up is automatically actuated. The complete process parameters of fish drying can be controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. The dryer can be used for drying 20 kg of fresh fish per batch
Solar cabinet dryer with electrical back up-40 kg
The dryer consists of four drying chambers with nine trays in each chamber. The trays are stacked one over the other with spacing of 10 cm. The perforated trays accomplish a through flow drying pattern within the dryer which enhances drying rates. Solar flat plate collectors transmit solar energy to the air flowing through the collector which is then directed to the drying chamber. Electrical back up comes into role once the desired temperature is not attained for the drying process, particularly during rainy or cloudy days
Solar dryer with LPG back up-60 kg
This is a hybrid solar drying system for hygienic production of dry fish by using environment friendly, abundantly and freely available renewable solar energy. Continuous drying of fish is possible in this system with the help of LPG back up, where the fish can be dried in unfavorable weather conditions without spoilage and maintaining its nutritional value. In this system, water is heated with the help of solar collectors installed on the roof and collected in a calorifier tank. The water from calorifier tank is collected through the solar collectors using a pump. Axial flow fans are provided in the drying chamber for hot air circulation across stainless steel trays loaded with fish for drying. T
Solar tunnel dryer
An energy efficient and low-cost solar tunnel dryer was developed for bulk drying of fish and fishery products. This dryer can be used by fishermen or small-scale fish processing units for bulk drying during seasonal higher catch/excess landing of fish. The capacity of the solar tunnel dryer is 50 kg with the floor area of 12 m2. The materials of construction are UV stabilized transparent polythene sheet for roof cover, black absorber sheet for floor, supporting frames of CPVC and GI rod. Three ventilator fans of 0.5 hp were provided for air inlet and moisture removal. The trays with tray holder were placed inside the dryer for spreading and hooking the fishes for drying.
Why UCPL INDUSTRIES?
The success of a product can not be determined right at the end of production line. The product has to pass through a process called packaging which is the means through which it reaches the markets and ultimately consumers. Packaging provides information which are important to the consumer i.e, product identity, its origin, how to use and store it; and nutritional information among others. Good packaging also enhances efficient mechanized handling, distribution and marketing, thus eliminating labour cost which would have to be absorbed into the price of the products. Packaging, because of its diversified designs and the types of materials used, in most cases helps to promote the products.
