Off Shell Prawn Peeling Machine

• Used in seafood processing plants for high-volume peeling of prawns.
• Suitable for food service providers and large-scale catering operations preparing prawn dishes.
• Integrated into production lines for frozen or chilled prawn products.
• Utilised by aquaculture businesses for post-harvest processing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 kg/hour to over 500 kg/hour, depending on the specific model and prawn size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on motor size.

Construction material

Machinery for food processing, including prawn peelers, is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Water consumption

These machines often require a continuous water supply for washing and waste removal, with consumption varying by design and throughput.

Suitable prawn size

Many models are designed to handle a range of prawn sizes; however, specific units may have an optimal size range for efficient peeling.

Footprint

The footprint for a machine of this type can vary significantly, from compact standalone units to larger integrated systems requiring substantial floor space.
