A kind of screw extrusion device for shrimp head-cutting was designed. According to the physiological and somatic characteristics, using the characteristic that shrimp head and the shrimp body poor connection, the device relied on the thread groove,which is formed by two parallel helical rollers, to hold the shrimp head and squeeze the shrimp head, to realized the seperation of shrimp body and head. The experimental study on the sample shrimps were selected with a body length from 120 mm to 150 mm. The results showed that the device of using the screw extrusion head-cutting was well, the head-cutting rate was 95%, the meat yield was 68%, and the work efficiency was double, which provided reference for the development of shrimp head-cutting device.
