ABSTRACT:
An improved drive system for a shrimp peeling apparatus includes a support frame with a first and a second plurality of rollers mounted thereon. One of the plurality of rollers have rollers that are of a larger diameter than the other rollers. The drive mechanism includes a computer controlled motor that engages a cylindrically-shaped shaft of each roller and a drive mechanism that engages the cylindrically-shaped end portion. The motor drive can be a computer controlled vector motor that can vary the rotational angular movement of each roller during each stroke. This enables variations in angular rotation and rotational speed depending upon the type and grade of shrimp. This configuration also enables each roller to constantly "advance" by changing the degree of angular rotation of each roller at each stroke, gradually presenting a different wear surface to the shrimp and prolonging roller life.
