Automatic Prawn Shelling Machine for Vietnam Seafood Processing Industry

2026-05-18
The Challenge in Vietnam Seafood Processing

As a global hub for aquaculture, Vietnam leads in shrimp exports. However, the local seafood processing sector faces unprecedented pressure from manual workflows.

Rising Labor Costs

As Vietnam's economy grows, finding skilled manual peelers is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive.

Hygiene & Contamination

Manual handling increases the risk of secondary pollution, affecting export quality standards for EU/US markets.

Low Efficiency

Manual peeling cannot match the speed required for large-scale industrial orders during peak seasons.

The Challenge in Vietnam Seafood Processing

Advanced Shrimp/Prawn Shelling Machine

The processing system is composed of feeding system, shell-stripping processing system and several individual machines with unique shell-stripping function. It is mainly used to remove (with) the head shrimp for large-scale shell-stripping processing. After cleaning, shell-stripping, impurity removal, inspection and other technological processes, the processed products finally become finished shrimp.

Our technology is specifically optimized for the Vannamei White Shrimp and Black Tiger Shrimp common in the Mekong Delta regions.
