PEELING APPARATUS WITH SEGMENTED ROLLER ASSEMBLIES

摘要

Apparatus for peeling shrimp including powered roller assemblies each made u p of a peeling roller and a drive member attached by a releasable connection. Rolle r connection structure at a first end of each roller assembly mates with reciprocal drive connection structure in the drive member. An adjustable element extending through the drive membe r allows the connection to be released and the roller assembly separated into a roller segment and a drive member segment. In other versions the roller segment can be composed of a series of segments having the same or different peeling surface characteristics in whi ch the individual roller segments are similarly releasably connected.
