Earlier, the author saw a message that a German restaurant owner tried to sell crayfish. As a result, he sold ten pounds a day and lamented that the business was not good enough. The netizens underneath for a while, said that it was just the amount of me alone. Compared with foreign sales of lobsters, the crayfish boom season in China is very good: a restaurant owner in Qianjiang, Hubei stated that two restaurants can sell 12 tons of crayfish in one day; A rough estimate is that locals can eliminate 60 tons of crayfish every day. However, when the crayfish industry is hot, the problem of shrimp shells brought out is unavoidable.

Shrimp shell encircling the city into a normal situation to solve the problem

Although the number of crayfish that have been eliminated is considerable, people who have experienced lobster experience have a feeling. A crayfish is eaten and the lobster meat is only a small piece, occupying nearly 80% of the shell, head and tail of the whole crayfish. All parts can only be discarded. In this way, every crayfish boom season, most cities in China face the situation of shrimp shells.

In fact, research on the utilization of shrimp shells has had a corresponding research result. In the 1990s, there were companies that deep-processed shrimp shells to extract the chitin deepening industrial chain. But as crayfish became a national dish, the value of catering was rising, and the use of shrimp shells became more and more difficult.

The first is because eating habits vary from place to place. Like Zhejiang and Jiangsu, crayfish are usually used as a catering meal. The shrimp shells are removed by consumers when they are eaten. At this time, shrimp shells are usually mixed with napkins, beer bottles, leftovers and other debris. If the company recycles these shells, it is necessary to develop sorting equipment to sort different garbage. Secondly, the lobster shell discarded after this meal needs to be recycled in time, otherwise it will smell bad for a while. Then, because the lobster shell after the meal has juice, the leakage during transportation is likely to pollute the urban environment. Finally, the production method of extracting chitin from shrimp shells is odorous and wasteful, and it is difficult to meet environmental standards.

Upgrade production and processing equipment to seek a new way out for deep processing of shrimp shells

I still remember that the early crayfish was hot because it enabled people to liberate the "social attribute" from the mobile phone. Recently, however, I have seen many news reports that the restaurant is equipped with a part-time peeler, for those who surrender to the crayfish charm. Consumers who want to play with their mobile phones. It is not difficult to see a trend of crayfish supply to the shellless food in the future. Earlier, some companies in China have developed corresponding shelling equipment for crayfish shelling, which enables rapid shelling of large numbers of crayfish. If the equipment can be immersed inside the dining room, the clean shrimp shell will also be easy to collect.

In view of the problem of water droplet leakage that may occur during the transportation of shrimp shells, some enterprises start with the transformation of the kitchen waste recycling vehicle, and the sewage truck is equipped with a diversion sewage collection device to drain the leaked sewage into the special sewage collection tank. . This makes it unnecessary to “run and leak” when transporting kitchen waste, reducing the degree of resentment of people during the collection of shrimp shells.

In addition, as mentioned above, the deep processing technology of shrimp shells has already appeared, but in today's production process, it does not meet the current requirements for environmental protection and clean production, and needs to improve technology and equipment. It is reported that in the deep processing of shrimp shells, the use of boilers is inevitable, but if the boiler directly discharges the exhaust gases, it will cause environmental indicators not to meet the standards. Therefore, it is necessary to connect the flue gas treatment equipment outside the boiler to purify the soot.

The crayfish industry is hot and self-evident. In this process, its by-product, the shrimp shell, can get rid of the title of kitchen waste, transform it into kitchen resources, and serve the society again. It is inevitable to face the sustainable development of the crayfish industry. one question. Fortunately, many companies in China have been working on the value of crayfish shells. At present, there are more than ten kinds of deep processing products of shrimp shells, which greatly extend the crayfish industry chain and contribute to ecological environment protection.
