Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to shellfish cleaning equipment, specifically an oyster cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Oysters, also known as raw oysters, have extremely high nutritional value. In recent years, oyster farming has been increasing. To improve product competitiveness, oysters are generally cleaned before leaving the factory; the cleaner the oyster, the more popular it is with consumers. Existing oyster cleaning equipment mainly includes drum-type and conveyor belt-type equipment. Drum-type cleaning equipment has low cleaning efficiency, so most producers choose conveyor belt-type equipment. Existing conveyor belt-type equipment mainly uses a combination of high-pressure nozzle washing and brush rollers, but mud and dirt still adhere to the surface of the cleaned oysters. Therefore, to further improve the cleaning quality, a new type of oyster cleaning equipment is designed. Utility Model Content
