ABSTRACT:
Raw mollusks at room temperature are fed to a crusher wherein a mechanical shock is introduced to the mollusks with the magnitude of the shock being sufficient to release attachment between the mollusk meat and the mollusk shell by rapidly accelerating and then rapidly decelerating the mollusks using a rotating roller having a minimum surface speed of about 2800 feet per minute. The mollusks are then separated into a first stream of loose meat and meat attached to shells and a second stream of loose meat and shells. Each stream is then subjected to centrifugal separation whereupon the first stream shells having meat attached thereto is recycled through a crusher.
