Abstract

Mollusc processing apparatus and related methods are disclosed. Molluscs are held in holders by one of their shells, illustratively the bottom shells, and are moved between a series of processing stations. At a shell cut station, an opening is cut into one or both of the shells of each mollusc. The next processing station includes a cutting blade to cut the adductor muscle and viscera of each mollusc away from its non-held shell, illustratively the top shell, and a shell detach mechanism to detach the non-held shell from the held shell. One or multiple air blasts are directed toward the viscera to loosen it from the held shell, and at a vacuum station the loosened viscera is pulled from the held shell. A second muscle cut station includes another cutting blade to cut the adductor muscle from the held shell.

The entire contents and disclosures of these related applications are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the processing of seafood, and in particular to the processing of scallops. Background technique [0004] Removing the adductor from the scallop, also known as "shucking", is generally done by hand. A blade is inserted through the opening near the hinge between the two shells of a scallop and the adductor muscle is excised from the upper shell. Then separate the upper shell and guts from the lower shell and discard it. The adductor mus...
