ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cleaning squid bodies which have been separated from the heads and tentacles, employing upstream and downstream, partially overlapping, facially confronting, perforate conveyor belts, through the perforations in which a vacuum apparatus is employed to hold such bodies tightly against the belts. On the upstream belt, successive bodies are slit along one side to fillet them, thus to enable them to lay out flat on the belt, with mechanical and hydraulic scrubbing action then employed to clean one side of each body. Where the two belts overlap, a transfer action takes place, with the successive bodies there transferred to, and then held against, the other belt to expose the opposite sides of the bodies for mechanical and hydraulic scrubbing action.
