Abstract: The present disclosure involves a calculation method and device for intelligent cutting squid white slices, the calculation method being implemented on the device for intelligent cutting squid white slices. The calculation method may be implemented on a calculation device, the calculation device may have at least one processor and at least one storage medium including an instruction set used for intelligent cutting the squid white slices, the calculation method including: reading a laser point cloud data of a three-dimensional (3D) topography of the squid white slices; optimizing the laser point cloud data; extracting an effective area of the squid white slices; determining a cutting zero point; determining a cutting process area; and determining optimization of a cutting point position and a cutting angle. The one or more embodiments provided by the present disclosure may satisfy the needs of large-scale continuous production in factories, reduce labor costs, and improve production efficiency.

Abstract: An improved method for processing sea cucumbers by applying pressure to the outer body of a decapitated sea cucumber, thereby forcing the layer of longitudinal muscle bands and internal viscera out of the outer body allowing for ready separation of the components for further processing, and an apparatus for implementing said improved method.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing squid whereby a squid is placed on a spike and is conveyed past a backstructure surface causing the squid to spin about the spike, the friction against the outside and the inside of the squid tube body causing the loosening and the removal of parts of the squid attached to the tube body, thereby cleaning the squid. The cleaning action can be enhanced by spraying the squid with water or air, and by drawing material away from the squid with a suction device.

Abstract: A shellfish processing apparatus (10) particularly intended for Scallop Processing, in which a gripped shellfish is partially opened initially by manipulator means (12) so as to enable meat to be removed from one shell half at a station (22), and then opened fully at a station (24) for evisceration at a station (28) removal of meat from the remaining shell half at a station (32). The evisceration means (113) preferably includes a backing plate (122) which serves to concentrate water around the shell half being eviscerated and to hold the adductor muscle in place.

Abstract: A process for controlling combustion of burners arranged in a plurality of respective control zones divided in a furnace, includes the step of repeating a cycle of successively subjecting the burners to combustion for a short time. At least one temperature sensor is fitted in each control zone, a time period during which each burner is subjected to combustion is controlled according to a difference between a temperature detected by the corresponding temperature sensor and a preset temperature in a respective control zone. An apparatus is also disclosed for effecting such a controlling process.

Abstract: A semiautomated machine (10) cuts a disk (60a) from the mouth side of sea urchin shells (60) for efficient extraction of gonads, the sea urchin reproductive organs, with minimal damage. The machine is capable of preserving intact the original five segmented star configuration. A conveyor (12) receives and retains sea urchins (60) with the mouth side of the sea urchin shells facing away from the conveyor. A cutter (15) is mounted over the conveyor at a cutting location (16). A relatively thin elongate cutting element (38) is spaced from the conveyor (12) and oriented generally transversely across the conveyor. An extended aligning plane (65,66) parallel to the conveyor is mounted on the opposite side of the elongate cutting element (38) from the conveyor (12) at the cutting location (16). The aligning plane (66) contacts the mouth side of the sea urchin shells and aligns and maintains orientation of the sea urchins with the mouth side of the sea urchin shells facing the aligning plane.

Abstract: The invention is related to a method and an apparatus thereof of continuously producing a tubular mantle meat of the cuttlefish, in which the arms of the cuttlefish engaging with one of knife elements provided spaced at a certain distance on an endless chain running continuously is pulled toward a direction contrary to the run of said endless chain, thereby removing at least arms of the cuttlefish along with the viscera affixed to the arms preparing a tubular mantle and in which a skirt end of resultant mantle is aligned along a reference line and in which the skirt end, the fins and a portion of the tubular mantle adjacent to the fins, are cut in a state that the skirt end stands at an aligned position.

Abstract: A method for removing oysters from the shell including steps of an insertion distances and insertion angles of two cutters are detected by measuring the size of the oyster, the oyster is fixed in place with the flat surface of its shell acing upward, the two cutters are inserted until the cutters reach near the respective portions of an adductor muscle connecting the oyster body to the shell, and the two portions of the adductor muscle are cut by swinging the cutters in the direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of the cutters. Oyster can be more securely removed without any damage to the oyster bodies by cutting the adductor muscle while forming gaps between the oyster body and the respective halves of the oyster shell by spraying air, water, etc. into the cutting area.

Abstract: A plurality of shucked shellfish are mechanically eviscerated utilizing a series of longitudinally aligned inclined channels, each channel formed of a power-driven roller and adjacent insert rollers, the insert rollers extending generally parallel and longitudinally aligned with each other. The frictional surfaces of the rollers and the spacing between adjacent rollers, or both, are controlled to effectively separate the soft shellfish viscerae from the soft adductor muscle of the shellfish without significant damage to the muscles.
