ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cutting and deveining shrimp comprises a motor driving means inside a housing and a cutting mechanism outside the housing. A pair of rotating flexible disks grasp shrimp bodies and propel them past a cutting disk which slices the sand vein from the back of the shrimp. An idler roller is mounted on an adjusting shaft which may be positioned to adjust the depth of cut on the shrimp. An improved adjusting mechanism and external crank arm on the adjusting shaft enables adjustment of the idler roller while completely sealing the motor housing from any debris from the cutting operation. Polyurethane flexible disks reduce the growth of surface bacteria.
