1. Surimi Raw Material Mixing

The Surimi Raw Material Mixing system serves as the first critical step of the fish shred production line, where surimi paste, surimi flour, and seasonings are added into a high-speed crushing strainer for cutting and mixing. This process refines the paste into a smoother, more uniform texture, enhancing product flavor while preventing clogging during downstream production. The High Speed Crushing Strainer features a 304 stainless-steel pot body, an aluminum alloy lid and discharge port, and SUS420 stainless-steel cutting blades to ensure durability and food safety. With dimensions of Length 2910 × Width 2010 × Height 1570 mm and a 50 HP power requirement, the system efficiently handles large-volume homogenization within a short processing time. Consistent mixing quality ensures stable sheet forming, drying, and roasting performance, making this unit a vital component of the entire fish shred processing equipment setup.

2. Forming Machine

The Forming Machine is responsible for delivering the mixed surimi paste to the molding system and shaping it into uniform sheets, making it an essential component of the fish shred production line. The stirred surimi is pumped into the storage drum by a screw pump, where it undergoes slight maturation through controlled heating. The paste is then evenly extruded through a roller to form consistent fish sheets, which are scraped off by a built-in scraper and transferred into the pre-baking oven. The machine utilizes an infrared heating system to achieve efficient and uniform thermal processing. Its ejector roller is constructed from 304 stainless steel and internally cooled with circulating water to maintain stable forming conditions. With a wheel width of 1050 mm, the system can extrude two fish sheets simultaneously, significantly boosting production efficiency. The unit measures 4015 × 1675 × 2120 mm and requires 1 HP × 1 + 1/4 HP × 1 power, ensuring continuous, reliable sheet forming for downstream drying and roasting processes.

3. Pre Baking M/C

The Pre-Baking Machine in the fish shred production line utilizes gas infrared fire tubes to rapidly remove surface moisture from the formed surimi sheets. This quick drying action creates a thin, dry layer on the surface, preventing the sheets from sticking to the mesh belt during the next processing stage. The unit is equipped with a stainless-steel conveyor belt that offers stable, deformation-resistant conveying under high temperatures. Its infrared heating system delivers fast response and uniform heat distribution, improving pre-baking quality and overall processing efficiency. With dimensions of 2950 × 1100 × 1300 mm and a power requirement of only 1/4 HP, the machine is well-suited for continuous industrial operation, ensuring stable sheet quality before entering the drying and roasting stages.

4. Dryer

The Dryer in the fish shred production line is fully constructed from stainless steel to meet food hygiene regulations, ensuring durability and easy sanitation. Its heating system uses a gas direct-fire burner, providing high heating efficiency with clean and non-polluting combustion. The hot air circulation system incorporates stainless-steel turbo-type blowers arranged in a crosswise configuration, allowing uniform airflow without dead corners. This ensures that surimi sheets receive even heating throughout the drying process, resulting in consistent moisture control and optimal product quality.

The 11-layer conveyor-type auto dryer (Model WS-206) features an outer dimension of 12295 × 2435 × 3500 mm and an inner drying chamber dimension of 10000 × 1342 × 2590 mm. The conveyor is driven by a 3 HP TECO motor with reducer, while hot air circulation is powered by a 2 HP TECO blower. Engineered for long-duration continuous production, this dryer provides reliable performance and is a crucial component for achieving stable output and high-quality results in the fish shred production line.

5. Dipping M/C

The Dipping Machine in the fish shred production line is fully constructed from stainless steel to meet food hygiene regulations and ensure product safety throughout the process. As the surimi sheets pass through the dipping section, a specially designed vertical wrap system allows the sauce to be evenly coated onto the surface. A food-grade steel scraper removes excess seasoning to achieve a consistent coating thickness and the best flavor performance. This unit is driven by an adjustable motor with deceleration control, allowing fine tuning of dipping speed based on production requirements. The machine measures 870 × 1420 × 1622 mm and operates with a 1/2 HP motor, making it suitable for continuous high-volume seasoning processes and ensuring uniform taste and appearance in every batch of fish shred products.

6. Hanging Air Dryer

The Hanging Air Dryer in the fish shred production line is designed to naturally air-dry the coated surimi sheets, allowing the surface seasoning to slowly penetrate into the inner layers of the product. This gentle drying method enhances flavor depth without causing surface hardening or moisture imbalance. As the dipped sheets are suspended in the airflow, the seasoning gradually diffuses throughout the surimi, improving texture and overall taste uniformity. The unit is driven by an adjustable motor with deceleration control, enabling precise adjustment of drying duration and conveyor speed based on production requirements. With dimensions of 2730 × 1950 × 2055 mm, the Hanging Air Dryer supports continuous air-drying operations and plays an essential role in achieving consistent flavor absorption and high-quality results in the fish shred production process.

7. Infra-Red Conveyor Oven

The gas infrared conveyor oven in the fish shred production line uses infrared radiation to heat and bake the surimi sheets. The radiant heat penetrates directly into the product, allowing rapid ripening and controlled foaming that enhance texture and overall taste. This efficient heating method ensures that the fish sheets develop a light, expanded structure with improved mouthfeel. The conveyor system, equipped with an adjustable motor and deceleration control, enables precise setting of baking time to achieve consistent results across every batch. With dimensions of 5800 × 1000 × 860 mm and a power requirement of 1 HP, the oven is designed for continuous production and plays a vital role in defining the final texture and flavor quality of fish shred products.
