Non-contact laser processing heads and severs shrimp mud veins with less meat loss, helping maintain product quality at high throughput.

Optical measurement and clamped transfer let each shrimp be headed, peeled, and deveined precisely while reducing meat loss and contamination.

Machine vision and a tunable cam help automated crawfish peeling adapt to size variation and curled tails while improving yield and reducing labor.

Cameras, lighting, and image processing locate the meaty tail cut point in langoustine, speeding separation while keeping cuts consistent.

Length sensing positions a transverse blade at the carapace-abdomen junction to limit meat loss during automated shrimp processing.

An automated shrimp decapitation system uses an oscillating arm and segmented components to separate heads from bodies, reducing manual intervention.

A cam plate mechanism adjusts the cutting device drop-in rate and dwell time, resolving adaptability versus complexity trade-offs in shrimp processing.

A drive gear rotates an adjustable roller plate to reposition a cam plate, controlling the cutting device's linear motion for variable shrimp cuts.

A clamp assembly with interlocking teeth and a shoulder forms a perforated seam in the shrimp shell to enable efficient peeling.

Motor-driven rotating brushes separate shrimp heads from bodies on a conveyor belt to loosen adhering shells before automated peeling.

Centrifugal vibrating feeders separate shrimp individually via vibratory motion, reducing repositioning intensity on the conveyor line.

Vacuum suction and pressurized fluid guide legs through extraction rollers to prevent mechanical damage during high-speed automation.

Cone-shaped valve guides crustaceans individually through a separating chamber to detach shells using vacuum pressure and impact forces.

Fluidic piercing members crack shells while cutting blades separate meat, resolving labor-intensive manual separation bottlenecks in seafood processing.

A shellfish meat extraction device uses compressed air blasts to eject meat from shells.
