A utility cleaner for cleaning a variety of items is disclosed whereby a user can clean a variety of items without having to provide any constant “hands-on” monitoring or actions. A user can hook-up a water supply to the cleaner and allow the cleaner to automatically clean from the force of the supplied liquid and simply visually monitoring the liquid flow out of the cleaner.

The shellfish rinsing system includes a tub and a basket. The shellfish rinsing system may be operable to clean shellfish and to separate the shellfish from contaminants. The shellfish may be placed into the basket and the basket may be agitated within the tub while water flows through the basket and the tub, carrying away the contaminants. After dumping the contaminants from the tub, the shellfish may be rinsed by allowing the water to flow through the basket and the tub. The basket may be adapted to prevent the shellfish from exiting from the basket.

The present application provides an automatic crayfish washing machine, comprising: a first water tank, a second water tank, a first brush, a second brush, a reducer, a coupling, a motor, a frame, a crayfish container, and a circulating water system. With the washing machine, time is substantially reduced with good washing effect.

A crab gauge and cleaning tool with a base and a blade having an arched upper edge and a lower edge, a coupling for removably attaching the blade to the base such that when attached the blade extends upwardly from the base in a central area of the top surface and a blade storage for securing the blade to the base, and wherein the blade has a first mounting foot and a second mounting foot with the space between the mounting feet defining a measuring distance for measuring shellfish.

The present invention relates to a continuous on-board drying method for Antarctic krill and a continuous on-board processing method of shelled Antarctic krill. The drying method includes the following steps: 1) subjecting fishing materials to cleaning, sorting, and dewatering with a vibrating screen; 2) rapidly heating the krill to the temperature of up to 70? C. using infra-red rays; 3) hot-air drying; 4) impurity removal by vacuum; 5) cooling to obtain dried krill. The processing method includes the following steps: a) subjecting fishing materials to cleaning, sorting, and dewatering with a vibrating screen; b) rapidly heating the krill to the temperature of up to 70? C. using infra-red rays; c) hot-air drying; d) subjecting the dried krill to shelling treatment to separate shell from meat, to obtain shelled krill; e) impurity removal by vacuum to obtain shelled krill product. The methods in the present invention are highly efficient, energy saving, green and environmental protection, and the krill products have high quality and safety.

An apparatus for cleaning and cooking seafood or crustacea has a container with an interior volume defined by a tapered wall, a basket removably received in the interior volume of the container, a pipe positioned adjacent to the wall of the container and having a plurality of apertures adapted to direct the flow of water through holes of the basket, and a connector fluidically connected to the pipe and having a portion extending outwardly of the tapered wall of the container. The basket is tapered so as to be nestable within the tapered wall of the container. The basket has an indentation with holes extending over the pipe. A pot is spaced from the container and nestably removably receives the basket therein.

A method and apparatus for deshelling shellfish, particularly lobsters, using a laser cutting system.

An improved cleaning device comprises linked rollers that roll over a cleaning surface to remove debris from shrimp or other product. The cleaning device comprises a trough with a cleaning surface, an oscillating shaft within the trough and rollers biased into contact with the cleaning surface. At least some of the rollers are connected through a coupling device, which connects the rollers to the oscillating shaft via a roller connector.
