ABSTRACT:
A shrimp orienting and deheading apparatus (10) includes a top track (11), a middle track (12), a bottom track (13) and a deheading station (14). The top track has a V-shaped channel (16) with a step (18) which causes a shrimp (S) positioned tail forward and dorsal side down to rotate to a head forward dorsal side up position as they fall to the underlying middle track. The middle track is separated from the bottom track by a gap (21). Shrimp entering the gap in a tail forward dorsal side up position fall into the gap while shrimp in all other positions bridge the gap. The deheading station has a pair of severing fingers (55) with a vertical blade (62) and two horizontal blades (63, 64).
