ABSTRACT:
A crab claw processing machine for cutting and removal of the shell comprising a machine body having a rotating table mounted thereon. The rotating table has a plurality of rotary claw holders provided with individual drive sprockets mounted at its peripheral edge portion, each rotary claw holder being capable of holding a crab claw to be processed. As the rotating table is spun by a power source, such as an electric motor, the sprockets of each peripherally placed rotary claw holder engage a fixed drive chain which spins the respective sprocket rotary claw holder, and the crab claw contained therein. Each rotary claw holder and its contained crab claw are sequentially brought in to proximity with a high-speed rotating saw capable of cutting the claw. The saw can be provided with a gauge for controlling the depth of the cut. As the rotary claw holder brings the claw in contact with the saw, the spinning action of the rotary claw holder in cooperation with the cutting action of the saw to a desired depth (as set by the depth gauge), combine to make a peripheral cut through the outer hard crustacean body portion of the crab claw, thereby exposing the meat food product.
