ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a process for extracting crustacean meat from shells is provided. The extracting method is based on mechanical separation utilizing heated water spray within a rotating drum assembly for removal and separation of meat from shells. The water is collected, pumped to a holding tank, and is flavored with natural crab extract for recycle within the process. The apparatus includes a hammer mill for fracturing shells, a heated water bath for separating fractured shells from meat, an inclined rotating drum assembly having perforated walls and an internally located nozzle dispensing a water spray for separating meat from fractured shells, a tank having at least one water jet for separating meat from shell fragments, a vibrating dewatering apparatus for separating meat from the water, and a recirculation system for collecting, reheating, and reusing the solution of water and crab extract. The apparatus and process provides bone free crustacean meat that retains the natural crab flavor and has a low bacteria count.
