Abstract: A panel 1, 1A, adapted for the flow of coolant, therethrough, comprising coolant flow tubing having a coolant inlet aperture 11C at an inlet end of the coolant flow tubing and a coolant outlet aperture 12A at an outlet end of the coolant flow tubing, characterized in that the coolant flow tubing comprising a plurality of elongate tube lengths 2, 2A, 2B formed from hollow rectangular section material, the tube lengths 2, 2A, 2B being disposed in parallel relationship, either stacked one on top of the other or side-by-side, with adjacent external faces of adjacent top and bottom walls 3, 4 of adjacent tube lengths 2, 2A, 2B abutting one another, with the end of each tube length 2, 2A, 2B closed off, and with coolant flow apertures 11, 11A, 11B, 12, 12A, 12B communicating between adjacent tube lengths 2, 2A, 2B adjacent the ends thereof such that, in use, coolant flows in at one end of each tube length, along the tube length, and out at the other end of each tube length, to and through successive tube lengths of

Abstract: An automated, self-contained apparatus for extracting meat from the appendages of crustaceans, such as crabs, the appendages having been severed from the body and cooked. The device includes a plurality of stations which recover and collect the meat in the appendages as well as dispose of the empty shell. The appendages are placed in radially extending recesses of a circular motor driven platter, the platter being used to transport the appendages from station to station. The appendages pass through a cutting station which removes the end of each appendage so that there is an opening large enough to allow the meat to be expelled and recovered when pressurized air is injected into the appendage at the third station, the meat extracting station. Pressurized air is also utilized at a second station to blow the appendage into its preferred position in its recess, and at the fourth station, the shell ejectment station, to remove the empty shells from the platter.
