Abstract: The apparatus for mechanical shelling of meat from the abdominal section of n antarctic krill employing a spinning rotor cooperating with a stationary system of cutting and chopping elements. A casing is mounted on a bed with an output passage and a lid. A rotor is disposed inside the casing and is mounted on a shaft having a working disc mounted on the rotor. A cylindrical chute mounted above the working disc has a toothed ring provided in the bottom section of this chute. The ring consists of cut-outs forming teeth, the tips of which point toward the working face of the disc. A toothed ring includes a replaceable collar on to which bars and angle bars are mounted. A multi-jet water spray is installed in the top section in the chute and the working face of disc is provided with protrusions which are identical in height, knife-edges of the protrusions are preferably directed in perpendicular to the direction of disc motion.
