SMOKING KILN
courtsey: Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIMOR)
The smoking kiln with a capacity for either 100 kg or 250 kg of wet fish was designed and fabricated in 2001 by Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIMOR), Victoria Island, Lagos.
There are three distinct segments namely the heating, the drying and the chimney. The heating segment contains two stoke holes along at the back of the brick wall for the burning of firewood or charcoal to produce energy for the smoking process.
Heat shield is introduced in the design to retard and diffuse the heat reaching the lowest fish trays. The drying segment can take ten trays, five in each compartment.
The exhaust escapes via the chimney, which is equipped with a heat reflector to allow for amore economic use of energy. The cover inclusive of chimney and baffle is constructed of galvanized iron sheets and the trays made from galvanized iron pipes and wire mesh.
Advantages of NIOMR Fish smoking kiln
· Good and efficient in the use of Charcoal/firewood. Low fuel consumption of fuel wood/charcoal and higher retention of heat because of the insulation leading to a better quality product and quick drying time of 4 to 5 hours.
· Uniform fish drying. Very minimal rearrangement of trays because of the heat exchanger, which provides even distribution of heat.
· The door with a locking system protects the fish against pilferage and attack by rodents.
· The final product comes out with attractive golden yellow or black luster colour depending on the fish being smoked.
· Temperature distribution is very good.
