DESCRIZIONE
A station for peeling a shrimp or part thereof while the shrimp is clamped on a clamping wheel that is rotatable along said station around an axis of rotation. The station comprises a base and rotor that is rotatable relative to the base around a first axis of rotation for a complete revolution, the rotor having one or more grippers. Each gripper is rotatable relative to the rotor around an associated second axis of rotation and arranged for gripping a portion of said shrimp when said gripper is moved to a position close to where a is clamped on the clamping wheel during rotating movement of said rotor around the first axis of rotation while said gripper rotates relative to said rotor around its second axis of rotation. This allows the gripper to grip the shrimp in a particularly gentle manner and separate a portion of the shrimp, e.g. its meat, from a part of the shrimp that is clamped on the clamping wheel.
