<p>Method for removing the shell from crustaceans, in particular shrimps, where the method comprises the following method steps: a) the crustaceans are heated; b) the crustaceans are transferred to a funnel at the bottom of which, a valve is arranged, where said valve comprises a resilient cone shaped member, and a moveable valve plate, for opening and closing of the valve, such that as the valve is opened crustaceans are sucked through the cone shaped member, thereby arranging the crustaceans one by one during the passage through the cone shaped member; c) a separating chamber arranged downstream from the valve, and in communication with said valve, where a substantially lower air pressure is present in the separating chamber relative to the ambient air pressure, and where separating means are arranged in said separating chamber, such that as the crustaceans enters the separating chamber, the lower air pressure and the separating means will detach the shell from the crustacean, during the crustaceans fall through the separating chamber; d) where the crustaceans are collected in a water pool arranged in the bottom of the separating chamber, where the crustaceans on impact with the surface, if separation between shell and meat has not occurred by the separating means, will separate the shell from the meat; e) and that the water containing meat and shells is removed from the separating chamber for further separation of meat and shells.</p> |
