A processing machine particularly for boiled/cooked crab comprising a shell crusher means (2) and a subsequent separation means in which the crab meat is separated from the shell fragments. The separation means of the machine is novel in that it embraces a plurality of upright, spinning, screw-threaded spindles (12). These spindles are arranged in a circle in a spinning meat collection tray(13) for crab meat with just sufficient clearance between adjacent spindles thatthe crab medium which is discharged into the circular space defined by the said spindles (12) in the said spinning meat collection tray (13) is pressed, by centrifugal force, out against the said spindles (12), where it can pass betweenthe adjacent spindles (12) aforesaid, while almost the entire bulk of hard shellfragments are prevented from passing between the said spindles (12). The gradient of the screw thread of the spindles and their direction of rotation combine to drive the shell fragments upward and into an overlying shell collection tray (10), while the crab meat makes its way to the outer portion of the said rotary meat collection tray (13) confining the ring of spindles (12) aforesaid.
