ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a shrimp processing machine which includes a new and improved means for separating the shrimp meat from the shrimp shells. The machine includes a plurality of processing stations including a meat separating station which separates the shrimp meat from the shrimp shells. The machine also includes a carrier for transferring the shrimp through the processing stations and a conveyor means for conveying the shrimp to be processed to the carrier. The carrier is arranged to transfer the shrimp along a descending path through the meat separating station. The meat separating station includes a plurality of spike members or tines which are arranged for reciprocal movement to a protracted position into the shrimp for penetrating the shrimp and coacting with the carrier for separating the shrimp meat from the shrimp shells and to a retracted position for movement out of the shrimp meat for releasing the separated shrimp meat. In the disclosed preferred embodiment, the tines include an elongated shaft portion and a tip portion, wherein the tip portions are disposed at an angle from the shaft portions and point in a direction generally opposite to the direction of shrimp transfer by the carrier.
