The assembly includes a retention member disposed for movement in a slot in a retention gear with a cam means being selectively positioned along the length of the slot and maintained in a desired position by a biasing means which connects the cam member to the retention member thereby permitting the. A cam means disposed between the cutting and deveining stations is arranged to controllably act upon the clamp means of the carrier to cause an increase in the grip pressure on the shrimp by the clamp means after the shrimp have been cut for splitting the shrimp shells open to thereby expose the sand vein of the shrimp to the deveining stations.

A carrier means transfers the shrimp through the processing stations and includes cam actuated clamp means for gripping the shrimp shells. They are designed for restaurants, seafood markets, and processors. The machine includes a plurality of processing stations including a cutting station for cutting the shrimp lengthwise through the shrimp shells along the shrimp sand veins and an adjacent deveining station for removing the sand vein of the shrimp. Gregor Jonsson is a shrimp peeling systems designer, manufacturer, and distributor. Abstract: There is disclosed a shrimp processing machine which includes a new and improved cam arrangement for splitting the shrimp shells open to thereby expose the sand vein of the shrimp to facilitate the deveining of the shrimp and ultimate separation of the shrimp meat from the shrimp shells.
