ICE - Offshell Services Ltd Shellfish Peeling Machine

• Processing various shellfish species, including prawns, crab, and lobster, to remove shells.
• Use in seafood processing plants for high-volume shell removal prior to further processing or packaging.
• Integration into automated production lines for efficiency in shellfish preparation.
• Preparation of shellfish for ready meals, catering, or retail sale.

Typical capacity

For this class of twin-lane equipment, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/hour to over 1500 kg/hour, depending on shellfish type and size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption that varies based on motor size and operational load.

Footprint

A twin-lane unit, including feeding hoppers, typically requires a significant floor area, often in the range of 2.5m x 1.5m to 3.5m x 2m.

Construction material

Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Peeling mechanism

This model utilises a mechanical off-shell press action, designed for efficient shell separation with minimal product damage.

Feeding system

Equipped with two Podmores feeding hoppers, suggesting an automated or semi-automated feed for continuous operation.
