In order to optimize the traditional manual method for clam sorting, a device was designed, based on the biological characteristics of clams and the principle of centrifugation and different density, to solve the problem of clam sorting, screening and impurity removing. The devicewas composed of three grades of rings with different clearance rollers for screening clams with different shell thickness. It could screen out small shells, conch and gravel. Through simulation analysis, the structural strength and stiffness of the device met the design requirements. Through the application, it was proved that the equipment could effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of clam sorting, reduce labor intensity,lower production cost and improve the automation level of enterprises.
