AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

While conventional processing machines are capable of processing shrimp at high speeds, 2-4 cuts and various other cuts are currently performed manually, which is time consuming and prone to variations in cut depth and length between individual shrimp
[0005] Also, difficulties can exist when processing shrimp of different sizes
Conventional machines often require significant downtime in order to properly tune and / or calibrate the machine to accommodate shrimp of different sizes, which in turn can increase overall production costs

Embodiment Construction

[0022] In general, the present disclosure relates to at least semi-automatic shrimp processing machines capable of adjustably cutting and sorting shrimp. The machine includes a number of adjustable handles and other components to selectively cut shrimp in a desired pattern (eg, 2-4 cuts or tail-on round cut). In addition, the machine can be quickly adjusted to accommodate shrimps of different sizes. An operator can quickly engage the adjustable handle with other components and can quickly select a desired process setting.

[0023] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, and in particular to Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 7A , the shrimp processing machine 10 is constructed in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure. The general construction and operation of machine 10 may be similar to any of the machines disclosed in commonly owned U.S. Patent No. 2,850,761 filed May 3, 1956, U.S. Patent No. No. 3,214,789, U.S. Patent No. 3,238,561 filed Mar...

Abstract

A shrimp processing machine includes an adjustable cutting assembly and an adjustable meat picking assembly. The adjustable cutting assembly is adapted to adjust between a first configuration that forms a cut having a first length on a shrimp and a second configuration that forms a cut having a second length on the shrimp. The adjustable cutting assembly is further adapted to adjust between a first position that forms a cut having a first depth on the shrimp and a second position that forms a cut having a second depth on the shrimp. The adjustable meat picking assembly is adapted to rotatably adjust when a meat picker contacts the shrimp to remove shrimp meat from a shrimp shell.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to machines for processing shrimp and more particularly to semi-automated machines for processing shrimp. Background technique [0002] Various types of automated or semi-automated shrimp processing machines are used to partially or completely remove the shell of the shrimp, thus preparing the shrimp meat for cooking and consumption. Some of these machines also have a cutting capability that cuts the shrimp meat at the desired location. [0003] In one type of shrimp processing machine, the main gear is equipped with a plurality of clamps spaced around its rim. These machines also include loading trays for presenting the shrimp to the main gear. Shrimp are loaded onto the loading tray by the operator. The jigs are loaded with prawns as they pass over the pan, and once loaded; the main gear continues to rotate, thereby moving each prawn past various processing stations such as cutting stations, meat sorting st...
