Title: Shrimp processing apparatus

Abstract: Cooked shrimp to be peeled are distributed successively to tiers of sets of peeler rolls and cooperative reciprocative bars. The claimed invention permits coordinated adjustments of nip spacing and taper angle in the roll-bar tiers independently at corresponding ends of the sets and in each tier independently of the other permit optimum shucking in the first tier and polishing in the second tier suited to type and condition of shrimp. Cams are engaged by cam follower rollers connected to the peeler rolls to control nip distance between the bar and rolls at both ends as a function of relative vertical positioning of each bar and its associated peeler rolls.
