ABSTRACT:
A shrimp peeling deshelling machine has a frame apparatus for holding a support wheel and tube along the periphery of the support wheel. The support and tube ae rotated by a slow speed motor mechanism and the tube has a slit along the length thereof positioned away from the center of the support. The shrimp peeling machine includes an insertion station that, in turn, has a slit separating member for separating the edges defining the slit. A shrimp is inserted in the opening created by the slit separating member and is caught downstream from the separating member by the slit edges and rotates with the rotating tube and support. A first cutting station cuts the back shell of the shrimp using a conventional rotating circular saw blade. A bottom shell cutting and shrimp ejection station includes a second slit separator and a cutting member for cutting the bottom of the shrimp. One end of the cutting member is positioned within the tube and the cutting member is oriented to exit the tube at the second opening to permit the double cut shrimp to exit the machine.
