A review of technology development process of a typical
shrimp peeling machine
With the increasing consumer demand, the mechanized shrimp productions become more and more popular for its
high efficiency and much less bacterial infection. In particular, removal of shell and vein plays an important role to
guarantee clean production in the shrimp processing. There are several kinds of machines which can achieve the
required function worldwide up to now. Among these machines, the machine featured with a rotary plate has
significant advantages if compared with others. Thus the structure and the development process about it were
summarized in this paper. Through the summary, the advances of this machine were outlined in detail, and the
future research direction of the industry of shrimp peeling machine was also indicated, that is, the mechanical
structure need to be optimized and simplified. Meanwhile, if advanced electric automatic control system
introduced, the labor occupation would be significantly reduced, and the production quality, productivity and
efficiency accordingly be enhanced.
