PCT No. PCT/SU82/00023 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 1, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 1, 1983 PCT Filed Jul. 1, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO83/00080 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 20, 1983.The apparatus for recovering meat of small crustaceans comprises a mechanism 1 for breaking-up the shell of the crustaceans, a mechanism 3 for separating the meat from other components and a mechanism 2 for separating the easily rising components of the crustaceans, arranged intermediate the shell breaking-up mechanism 1 and the meat-separation mechanism 3. The mechanism 2 for separating the easily rising components includes a separating chamber 9 filled with the working liquid and having in its upper part a pipe 10 for withdrawing the surfaced components of the crustaceans, and in its bottom part a line 11 for withdrawing the settled components of the crustaceans, of which the inlet end 12 is equipped with a liquid-type ejector 13, while its outlet end 14 is situated above the level of the liquid in the separating chamber 9, to overlie the loading funnel 23 of the meat separation mechanism 3, and a connection line 15 connecting the separating chamber 9 with the receiving hopper 16. The latter underlies the diffuser 8 of the shell breaking-up mechanism 1 and the line 18 for supplying the working liquid. The apparatus is particularly intended for processing antarctic shrimp (krill).
