An assembly (10) for a seafood cleaning machines provides increased efficiency and decreases loss of meat of cleaned seafood items, such as shrimp, prawns, and the like. The assembly (10) has a plurality of parallel rollers, a plurality of secondary rollers (16) spaced between and mounted slightly above the power rollers (12), and a plurality of insert rollers (20,21) fitted between adjacent power rollers (12) and secondary rollers (16) . Each insert roller (20,21) has a variable diameter outside surface, gradually increasing from an upstream portion to the downstream portion. Smaller diameter upstream portion forms a tighter channel between the rollers and help the rollers to grab even smaller portions of the inedible parts of the crustaceans. To remove peeled off inedible portions, the assembly provides for a two-level water spraying (78), from above and below the insert rollers(20,21), thereby preventing a build-up of debris on the rollers and decreasing a possibility of over-peeling. |
