Most of the material will be devoted to how to make a fish dryer yourself at home.

Types of dryers

The simplest device for drying is a wire stretched under a canopy or an ordinary clothesline. To protect against insects, gauze is simply pounced on the fish. You can hang roach, crucian carp or bream both on wire hooks from ordinary paper clips, and by clamping them with clothespins.

This option is simple, but it is good for one-time harvesting of fish in field conditions or in a summer cottage. When the business is put on stream and good catches are regular, you need to think about a more or less decent design.

Dryers for fish can be divided into two broad categories:

  • mobile portable;
  • stationary.

Each option has its own advantages. The former can be used anywhere: from the river bank to the balcony in the apartment.

The simplest portable dryer made in China. When folded, it is very compact, you can take it with you on a fishing trip or to the country. On the spot, you can easily unfold it and hang it on any tree branch.

The latter can be called drying cabinets, they are most often used not only for fish, but also for harvesting vegetables and berries, curing meat and other food purposes.

Drying fish is easy fresh air, but you can do it with forced air supply by a fan. At the same time, the drying process is much more intensive, and the products are prepared more evenly.

In cold weather, the drying cabinet can be equipped with electric heating elements, which will also help to quickly prepare the fish for use.

A distinctive feature of the drying chambers is also the number of compartments they have. Most often, single-section options are used, but there are dryers with a large number compartments, some models have up to 5 sections.

Industrial Models

From the industrial models we liked, we distinguish two varieties. The first is structurally made in the form of a tall cabinet made of metal pipes covered with mosquito net. Similar models are produced by different companies under the brands "Mitek" and "Kedr".

Homemade

Let's move on to the most interesting, let's talk about how a do-it-yourself fish dryer is created. It must be said right away that there are a lot of designs of dehydrators. All options improvised designs it is impossible to describe in one article, because the fantasy of our Kulibins is truly inexhaustible.

Reference! Dehydrator in literal translation from Latin is a dehydrator, that is, the same as a dryer.

Often homemade dryers make in the form wooden box covered with mosquito net. At the same time, one of the running ones is a variant with dimensions: 500x500x500 mm.


Depending on the location conditions, the dryer is made in a vertical or horizontal version.

At the first stage of production, you need to prepare required number wooden slats, sand them down and coat them protective composition. The coating should protect the structure from moisture and salts, but at the same time not give off harmful fumes that can be absorbed by drying products.

Then, according to the previously completed drawing, the frame of the future dryer is assembled. Self-tapping screws and metal corners are used for installation.


For a small structure, the size of the rails in cross section can be 25x25 millimeters. With an increase in the volume of the drying cabinet, more powerful bars will be required

On a note! The stationary dryer can be mounted directly on the wall.

With fan

Some of the dryers made by our homemade dryers have fans in their design. Air convection in such dehydrators allows you to speed up the drying process.

Similar dehydrators are made from various plastic containers or in the form of closed cabinets through which air is driven.

Consider the manufacturing process the simplest dryer with a fan, for this we need:

  • plastic container of large volume, from 20 liters and above;
  • exhaust fan;
  • ventilation grille;
  • metal rods with threads and nuts suitable for them;
  • mounts for grille and fan.

We act in the following sequence:

  1. Punch a hole in the lid of the container ventilation grill and fix it.
  2. We mount the fan in a similar way in one of the side ends of the plastic box.
  3. In the upper part of the container we make holes for the rods and insert them, clamping them with nuts. Here we will hang fish, meat.


For drying mushrooms, berries or vegetables, it is possible to provide for the installation of special grates.

If you need to increase the temperature in such a dryer, you can use electric mats. Similar Models sold in pet stores for keeping reptiles.

Advice! You can increase the temperature in the dehydrator by installing conventional incandescent bulbs. At the same time, they should be positioned so that drops from the products do not fall on them.

When the dryer is ready and the fish is caught, you can start salting and actually drying it. The whole process requires a description in a separate article, but here we will give brief tips.

  1. Do not wash the fish before salting, it is enough just to buy it up a little from adhering sand, grass and other debris.
  2. Use only coarse salt for salting, in no case use "Extra" or iodized salt.
  3. Caught in a hot time, peaceful fish that eats plant foods must be gutted before salting! Otherwise, the food in the stomach can rot and ruin the finished product.
  4. When hanging fish inside the drying box, do not let them touch, otherwise even drying will not be ensured in these places.
