The Cabinplant horizontal roller grader is designed for size grading raw cold water shrimp. It is used to pre-grade the shrimps into two or three sizes in order to facilitate the determination of cooking time.
The grader consists of two through-going screws with increasing pitch (helix), one on each side. Horizontal stainless steel rollers are mounted between the two screws and connected by a stainless steel chain on each side. The rotating rollers gently transport and grade the product as the space between the rollers progressively increases.
The grader is fitted with two longitudinally adjustable chutes placed below the rollers to collect and discharge graded product onto conveyor belts. These chutes are used to determine the proportion between the two sizesthey can be adjusted +/- 100 mm.
