ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for centrifugally removing meat from body sections of crabs or other crustaceans is disclosed, and which comprises a horizontally disposed disc having a plurality of separate crab body holders disposed in an equally spaced apart arrangement about the periphery of the disc. A direct current motor drive system is provided which is adapted to rapidly accelerate the disc to a desired rotational speed, and then rapidly brake the disc to a complete stop, in a very short period of time. The holders include individual receptacles for receiving the extracted meat, and which may be individually lifted from the disc to facilitate removal of the meat when the receptacles become full, and covers are provided for completely enclosing the crab bodies to eliminate possible misalignment from wind forces during rotation of the disc.
