With the increasing consumer demand, the mechanized shrimp productions become more and more popular for its high efficiency and much less bacterial infection. In particular, removal of shell and vein plays an important role to guarantee clean production in the shrimp processing. There are several kinds of machines which can achieve the required function worldwide up to now. Among these machines, the machine featured with a rotary plate has significant advantages if compared with others. Thus the structure and the development process about it were summarized in this paper. Through the summary, the advances of this machine were outlined in detail, and the future research direction of the industry of shrimp peeling machine was also indicated, that is, the mechanical structure need to be optimized and simplified. Meanwhile, if advanced electric automatic control system introduced, the labor occupation would be significantly reduced, and the production quality, productivity and efficiency accordingly be enhanced.
