Drying box. A simple device for drying fish at home. From plastic boxes

Dad, well, how can you not understand, I don’t like oily fish, I like dry ...

The task is clear, the goal is set, the tool is ready - we will make a dryer for drying fish.

I must say right away that I only bought a mosquito net, in the "hostess" store - 55r running meter, took 2.5 meters - it was enough for me.

Everything else was in the country in the garage, in abundance

So, to start, I took:

4 bars of 120 cm each - the legs of the future dryer

6 bars of 60cm - crossbars

8 bars of 40cm each - the crossbars on which I will install the rods on which the fish will be hung.

From all this disgrace, I assembled the frame, this is what happened:

Very crooked but with a soul! It does not affect the meaning of the product in any way - therefore, I did not bother with precision accuracy.

I drilled holes in short crossbars, not through ones. I found rebar in the garage - I cut it with a grinder to the length I needed - and put it in the drilled holes - two rebars per tier.

The corners of the structure were fixed with corners

Corners with reinforcing bars inserted into the crossbars - gave the structure rigidity.

I decided that there would be few inserted fittings - the rest were sawn, I just grabbed them with self-tapping screws. The main thing is that a hand should pass between the armatures - it will be more convenient to hang the product.

We turn it over, wrap it with a mosquito - we grab the mosquito with carnations. The main thing here is that the mesh should be a little bit with a margin, and in one of the corners it went in two layers - otherwise the flies are such that they will seep into any crack

Bottom. I didn’t make the bottom of the mosquito, because the flies manage to place their offspring right on the net covered with smelling slurry (and from freshly hung fish, they will inevitably dig up the brine).

Therefore, I decided to make it from ceiling plastic.

I twisted the two pieces together, adjusted them exactly to size. Here accuracy is important - so that there are no gaps left - flies will not forgive lye

I put it in place, walked around the perimeter with screws.

Then he took the same corner

And fixed the grid along the side faces of the structure

The remnants of the grid on top - turned out.

I made the lid, like the bottom, from ceiling plastic

We cover, press down with bricks - the finished structure:

After assembly, I found a jamb. When you put your hand into the dryer, you can't reach the bottom, so when hanging the fish - if it fell to the bottom - there will be a little problem with catching it - keep this in mind.

Now take a bowl

we open it, and there, after a three-week salting

quickly cut hooks with knitting wire pliers

posting

But, just what I was talking about - crucian fell to the bottom.

you can’t get it with your hand - but there is a skewer - it’s easy for them

We put the dryer with fish in a ventilated, shady place, wait a week, another and delicious dried fish is ready to eat.

I don’t bite or hurt everyone. Thank you son for the challenge.

Where could I buy

Need a fish dryer in Moscow? Offers to buy it

The idea to make a dryer came to my mind right after I finished the renovation in the house. There were many different unused materials left that could be used for this case. And, to be honest, I'm tired of drying fish on ropes and wires covered with gauze. Firstly, it is extremely inconvenient, and secondly, such a primitive method of drying does not completely exclude its infection with flies, which, you see, is no good.

materials

So, what should be the ideal dryer? Thinking over the future design in my head, I tried to get a strong, light and roomy box in which it would be possible to dry different fish, both large (balyk) and small, for example, roach. Therefore, as a material for the frame, I chose a profile used for mounting drywall and an aluminum corner. I decided to close the side walls and bottom of the dryer with a dense plastic mosquito net.

I immediately planned to make the lid also from the net, but the neighbor suggested (many thanks to him) that the fly can lay eggs through the upper holes without even contacting the fish. To avoid such troubles, I made it from polycarbonate and a decorative metal corner, and it turned out to be a feast for the eyes. All units of the dryer were fastened with rivets and small bolts with nuts and washers of the appropriate size (diameter 5 mm). Here, in principle, and all the materials. Oh yes, for a better fixation of the grid at the corners of the structure, you will need more plastic corner(2/2 cm).

Tools

It took only two days to make a do-it-yourself drying box, and incomplete. I worked slowly, enjoying the process. To translate this idea into reality, I needed the following tools:

• cordless drill;
• Bulgarian;
• riveter;
• pliers;
• wrenches;
• scissors;
• stationery knife.

Dimensions

The dimensions of my dryer: height - 1.2 meters, length - 1 meter, width - 70 centimeters. Why are they like this? These figures, of course, are not taken from the ceiling. When deciding on the size of the box, I thought about how to make loading and unloading the fish as convenient as possible. With my height (180 cm), these parameters turned out to be optimal. The drying chamber turned out to be capacious, consisting of three levels, each of which has three metal rods for hanging fish. In it, you can wither a hundred weighing 0.3 kg or five hundred pieces at a time. Agree, quite good.

Mounting

Conventionally, the whole work can be divided into three stages:

• frame assembly;
• sheathing of the box with a mesh;
• cover manufacturing.

First of all, I made blanks from the profile. To do this, I cut it with a grinder as follows: four segments 1.2 meters long (for corner supports), six meters and the same number of seventy-centimeter crossbars. Then, at a distance of 20 cm from the floor, I alternately fastened the blanks together with rivets. In order for the parts to fit better to each other, the profile at the joints must be adjusted by making small cuts on the side surfaces. As a result, I got a rectangle standing on legs.

In the same way, the top and middle of the structure were assembled. I additionally reinforced the bottom of the box with an aluminum corner, which I screwed from the inside. Thanks to this, the dryer has acquired additional rigidity. Important nuance: the profile should be fastened so that its outer surfaces form an ideal plane between them. Subsequently, this will greatly facilitate the process of mounting the grid.

Actually, to implement the second stage, it is desirable to have an assistant. In this sense, I was lucky, my wife agreed to help. It was much more convenient to work with the mosquito net together: she held it where it was needed, and I fastened it. It is better to cut the mesh for each side with a small margin so that you can wrap it inward a little, thereby improving the overlap with the adjacent canvas. The main task in this business is to close all possible cracks so that the flies cannot get to the fish.

DIY fish dryer ready

The lid was also easy to make. Having cut out a piece of polycarbonate (thickness 0.6 mm) of the appropriate size with a clerical knife, I screwed it to the frame from the decorative corner with small bolts. It turned out nice and secure. Such a cover is easy to remove, put on, and most importantly, it completely eliminates the possibility of contamination of the product from above.

Conclusion

Finally, dear readers, I want to draw your attention to a few tricks that will help you not only speed up the process of drying fish, but also improve its quality.

Firstly, it is advisable to load it into the dryer at night (at this time it is cool in the yard, besides, there are no annoying flies).

Secondly, the first day it must be blown by a fan, this will significantly speed up drying and eliminate the unpleasant odor.

Thirdly, do not even try to dry large roach, bream or crucian carp in the raw in the heat. In summer, the insides of these fish are full of greenery, which, under the influence of high temperature, begins to rot, which inevitably leads to their deterioration.

The drying box should be placed in a place where it will not be exposed to precipitation and direct sunlight (in the shade, under a canopy, in a draft). If you use these simple recommendations, then, be sure, you will get a truly high-quality and useful product which will be appreciated by your loved ones.
