In all cases, a well a trained staff with some experience is assumed and shrimp is readily available or is being supplied to the peelers.
Some inspection of machine peeled shrimp is usually desirable and inspection of the output of the compact machine is not considered a full time job.
1 Assumes 6 shrimp per minute when peeling by hand, each person, 60 minutes each hour.
2 Assumes 80% loading at the faster speed for 50 minutes each hour, 1-½ people.
Installation, freight, initial charges, and taxes, if any, are not included in weekly equipment cost.
- The larger the shrimp, the greater the productivity in pounds.
- Production will be less than machine speed because of the time required to empty peeled shrimp and shell boxes.
- Column 1 shows the maximum machine speed of 3,000 per hour.
- Column 2 shows actual, achievable, experience based productivity of 2,000 per hour.
Our compact peeler incorporates the latest design improvements. In addition to being more effective in removing the vein, it is easier to change peeling styles and less costly to maintain.
Outside the U.S., the Jonsson compact shrimp peeler has also been successful in kitchens with limited space and where automation is practical.
However, when space permits, a Basic System is usually a better choice for anything close to full time operation.
Here’s why. A Basic System costs about 1-½ times as much as a compact peeler yet does twice the production. The full sized peelers are easier to operate and maintain. The Basic System is also much easier to expand when needs permit.
Water: 35 to 45 gallons per hour at 30 to 50 psi pressure, Floor drainage nearby is required.
Electricity: Standard electric is 115 volt, 60 Hz. The ⅓ rd hp motor draws 5.6 amp. Can be wired for 220 volt, 50 Hz.
Weight: 325 pounds net, 420 shipping
