(2) The sorting cylinder is configured as a two-part body whose upper half can be opened and closed with respect to the lower half, so that cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the easily dirty sorting cylinder and the screw can be performed easily and efficiently. it can.
(3) Since the removing means such as a set-in shell is configured so that the sliding contact body can be moved toward and away from the sorting cylinder, the sliding contact body is separated by separating the sliding contact body when it is not necessary to perform the removing operation. The load on the drive source of the cylinder can be reduced, and there is no hindrance in cleaning the sorting cylinder. Also, wear and damage of the sliding contact body can be reduced.
(4) Since the shells are forcibly sent out by the shellfish supply device to the sorting cylinder, the worker only needs to supply shellfish to the hopper, and the subsequent washing and sorting operations are automatically performed. As a result, the work efficiency is excellent and the burden on the worker can be reduced.
(5) Since the shellfish supply device is provided with a partition body for uniformly feeding shellfish to the sorting cylinder side and removing foreign matter, washing and sorting of the shellfish can be performed efficiently, and foreign matter is contained in the sorting cylinder body. Can prevent the situation where the sorting efficiency decreases due to the mixing of

I can do it.

  The clam shells and the like sent into the rotating sorting cylinder 5 move to the sorting shell discharge port 5B side with the rotation of the screw 8, and during this time the clam shells, pebbles, and small foreign matters having a thickness less than the standard are removed. Are dropped from the many sorting slits 5D, 5D,. On the other hand, the clam shells within the standard move inside the sorting cylinder 5 without falling from the sorting slit 5D, and are discharged to the collecting chute 11 from the sorting outlet 5B, thereby automatically sorting the clam shells. Can be done. In this sorting step, the screw 8 rotating in the sorting cylinder 5 is moved so as to push the clam shell, so that the degree of damage is reduced.

  In the selection process, a phenomenon occurs in which the clam shells fit into the selection slit 5D while moving in the selection cylinder 5, but the sliding contact body 12D of the inlaid shell removal means 12 is moved with respect to the selection cylinder 5. As a result, it is possible to prevent a drop in the sorting efficiency by forcibly dropping the toner into the sorting cylinder 5 and removing it. In addition, when it is not necessary to perform the removing operation, the load applied to the hydraulic motor 9 which is the driving source of the selection cylinder 5 can be reduced to zero by separating the sliding contact body 12D from the selection cylinder 5. There is no hindrance when cleaning the cylinder 5. Further, wear and damage of the sliding contact body 12D can be reduced.
