ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a krill peeling machine having a bank or plurality of banks of pairs of peeling rolls having peeling nips therebetween and with their major axes transverse to the path of flow of a supply of krill to be peeled through the machine. There are means for oscillating the peeling rolls causing the nips to engage and peel the krill to provide a tail meat with shell removed. The bank of peeling rolls are positioned at a declination of from 20.degree. to 30.degree. to the horizontal, each bank having a loading and discharge end. A krill leveling means is situated at the loading end of each peeling bank for distributing the krill substantially evenly across the peeling nips of the transversely disposed rollers to provide a layer of krill in contact with the peeling nips. Each peeling section has water means positioned to supply a water spray so that the water acts as a peeling lubricant between the krill and peeling nips and also as a conveyor to promote progress of the krill down the bank of peeling rolls as a fluid conveyor bed the speed of progress of which can be varied depending on the size and age of the krill. Also located above the transversely disposed peeling rolls are krill longitudinal guide means which are spaced transversely along the major axes of the peeling rolls to maintain a uniform distribution of krill transversely of the axes of the peeling rolls. For shipboard installation these guides may be foraminous to permit passage of conveying water therethrough to avoid waving up of krill all to one side of the machine when the ship rolls and flushing of unpeeled krill down the length of the peeling and/or cleaning section along with peeled meat.
