ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for centrifugally extracting meat from crab bodies is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a housing (10) for supporting a rotating drive means (32). A crab body holding means (26) is supported along a spin axis so as to restrain crab body sections in a selected orientation against a support structure (116). The selected orientation is such that when the holding means (26) spins around the spin axis, centrifugal forces on the crab bodies extracts the crab meats through openings in the shell structure. As the meat is propelled from the holding means (26) it is collected by the receiving compartment (30). The support structure (116) contacts and supports the crab body during the spinning of the crab body at specific locations of the crab shell structure to provide the minimum amount of obstruction to the meat being extracted while at the same time minimizing breaking and collapse of the shell structure. Further included is a braking means (34) for stopping the spinning of crab body holding means (26). In a preferred embodiment, the crab body holding means includes a multiplicity of interchangeable similar means.
