ABSTRACT:
A machine for cleaning and sorting shellfish into a predetermined range includes an inner drum connected to a central shaft and formed with a plurality of relatively large openings dimensioned to allow shellfish falling within the predetermined range to pass therethrough. The contents of a plow or dredge are fed into an inlet end of this inner drum and the contents which are larger than the desired range of sizes for the shellfish are retained within the drum. An outer drum is spaced in surrounding relation about the inner drum has a plurality of smaller openings sized to retain shellfish within the predetermined range. These smaller openings include circular openings allowing shellfish smaller than the predetermined range to fall from the outer drum, and longitudinal openings located downstream from the circular openings for allowing half shells from the shellfish within the predetermined range to fall from the drum.
