SPARE AND REPLACEABLE PARTS
S
Printed 8/09 Printed in U.S.A.
The only ShrimpPro user-replaceable parts are those in
the shrimp cutting area. While the Blade is made from
long-lasting, hardened stainless steel, it will begin to lose
its effectiveness in time and start tearing rather than
cutting shrimp. Do not attempt to sharpen as Blade will
lose its hardness. Replacement Blades may be ordered
from The NEMCO factory. (See phone, fax and address
below.) Having at least one spare on hand, stored in a
secure and accessible place, will avoid downtime.
Generally, the other components in the cutting area will
not require replacement. However, it is possible for the
Feeder Discs to eventually become too smooth to
reliably grasp all sizes of shrimp. Replacements may be
ordered. We can also provide a new part to replace any
component that is lost or damaged.

PRODUCT SERVICE
The ShrimpPro is inherently very reliable and, because
of its rugged construction, should require little or no
service throughout its lifetime. However, if service is ever
needed, it must be performed at the factory or by an
authorized service center. Any attempt to effect repair
without permission or guidance from the manufacturer
may invalidate the warranty and could be dangerous.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE & CARE
UNPACKING
When you open the shipping container, you will find
that the ShrimpPro is fully assembled and ready to
cut medium-sized shrimp (16/20 to 36/40). In the
carton, you will also find two Depth Cut Rollers,
differing in width. If you wish to cut small or large
shrimp, you must replace the already mounted
medium Roller (Item number 4 in the exploded view
drawing of Page 7) with the appropriate alternate
(the wider Roller for larger shrimp and the narrow
one for small shrimp). The procedure for
replacement is given on page 3.
Two 9/16” open end wrenches, used for Cutting
Blade replacement or cleaning, and a bottle
of lubricant with a dropper top are also packed with
the ShrimpPro. This is a food-grade lubricant which
is approved for incidental contact with food.
Examine the ShrimpPro for possible shipping
damage. Remove the Cutting Guard and inspect
cutting area components (see exploded view
drawing). The Cutting Guard (Item number 2)
may be removed by first unscrewing the Depth
Adjustment Knob (Item 1) and then pulling the
Guard away from and off of the machine.
When removing the Guard, make sure that the
Adjustment Knob Washer (Item 3) remains on
the Guard (Item 2). If any damage is noted,
immediately notify both the shipping company
and the manufacturer.

PRE-OPERATING CHECKS
AND ADJUSTMENTS
Before replacing the Cutting Guard, perform the
following checks:
Note: These steps presume that you will be
processing medium-sized shrimp. If you will be
working small or large shrimp, the Depth Cut Roller
must be changed and the Feeder Discs will need
readjustment. The steps needed to do each of
these are covered later in this booklet.
CAUTION: USE CARE WHEN WORKING NEAR
THE EXPOSED BLADE. IT IS SHARP AND CAN CUT
FINGERS, USE CUT PROTECTIVE GLOVES!
1. Cutting Blade
Make sure that the Round Cutting Blade is secure
on its shaft and cannot slip. Hold the Inner Blade
Nut (closest to the motor - Item 12) with one of the
included wrenches. With the other wrench, turn the
Outer Cap Nut (Item 16) clockwise until it is tight
(See Figure A). Do not overtighten.
3. Feeder Disc
Assembly
Positioning
Look down
over the
Feeder Discs.
Make sure that
the Cutting
Blade is cen-
tered between
the two Discs
and that the
groove in the
Depth Cut Roller is centered over the Blade. If it
is incorrectly positioned, unscrew the Feeder
Shaft inner plastic nut (Item 10) by hand until
the entire Feeder Disc assembly will slide on
its shaft. The nut is unscrewed by turning it clockwise. See Figure C. Align the Disc Assembly so
that the blade is properly centered and hand
tighten the plastic nut.
4. Lubrication
Remove the cap from the dropper tip of the food
2. Depth Cut Roller
lubricant bottle. Puncture the top of the dropper tip
The Depth Cut Roller should be centered between
the two Feeder Discs (See Figure B). If it is not
correctly positioned, unscrew and remove the outer
plastic Jam Nut (Item 7) from the Feeder shaft and
remove the Outer Feeder Disc (Item 8). Slide the
Depth Cut Roller along its shaft until it just touches
the Inner Disc (Item 9). Replace the Outer Disc.
When remounting this Disc, make sure that the
two raised keys on the Inner Disc fit into the two
keyways in the center of the Outer Disk that are
marked ‘M’ (for medium sized shrimp). It may be
necessary to lift the Depth Cut Roller in order to
mate the Discs. Replace the outer Jam Nut and
screw down until finger tight.

with a pin or small nail. Place several drops of
lubricant on the Depth Adjustment Shaft on both
sides of the Roller at its center hole. Lift the bent
Roller Shaft and slide the Roller back and forth on
it, over the lubricant, until lubricant is worked
under the Roller. To ensure smooth and quiet
operation, the Roller should be lubricated in this
manner before each use.
5. Cutting Guard Replacement
Make sure that the power switch is in the
‘OFF’ position before proceeding. Make sure
that the notch in the top of the Cutting Guard
mates with the projection at the top of the front
plate and that the Guard snaps into place on
both sides. The threaded end of the Depth
Adjusting Shaft fits through the plastic washer
in the open arc in the front of the Guard. Replace
the Adjusting Knob.
PICKING A WORK
LOCATION
Choose a work location with adequate space so that
you can work freely, that is well lighted, and is close
to a standard 120 volt A.C. (240 volt for export
model) three blade wall outlet (the line cord is about
six feet long). Arrange to drape the line cord (and
the extension cord, if one is used) where it will not
interfere with your working freedom of movement
and where it will not trip passersby.
The ShrimpPro should be placed on a flat, nonporous surface with the exit chute over the counter
edge above a sing or catch tray. DO NOT select
a location which can be flooded with water.
The user must always work on the right side of the
machine with the Feed Slot in the Cutting Guard
facing him (Figure D).
CUTTING AND DEVEINING SHRIMP
To be cleanly cut, shrimp must be raw, fully thawed
and firm. The cutting procedure is as follows:
1. After making sure that power switch is in the
‘OFF’ position, plug the line cord into the wall outlet.
2. Place a container, tray or 1/2 size steam table pan
containing thawed, uncooked shrimp on top of
the machine.
3. Loosen Depth Adjustment Knob and slide it to the
shallowest cut position (top of arc, away from
‘Deeper Cut’ arrow as shown in Figure E.) Tighten
Knob.
4. Turn the ShrimpPro ‘ON’.
5. Pick up on shrimp at the tail end. Turn it so the
back of the shrimp is away from you and lower it
into the Feeder opening on the top of the Cutting
Guard (see Figure F). The shrimp should be
inserted so that it falls between the Feeder Discs
and the Depth Cut Roller. The cut shrimp will be
deposited in your sink or catch tray.
WARNING: NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
ALLOWYOUR FINGERS TO ENTER THE FEEDER
SLOT, A FINGER CAN BE DRAWN INTO THE
MACHINE BY THE FEEDER DISCS AND BE
SEVERELY INJURED.
Also, do not allow foreign objects to enter the slot.
They could cause the ShrimpPro to jam and create
serious damage. Should shrimp not feed properly,
turn the machine off before attempting to correct
the problem.
6. Inspect the cut shrimp. If greater depth of cut is
desired, loosen the Depth Cut Knob and slide it
down to a deeper cut position, then tighten the
Knob.
7. Pass the same cut shrimp through the machine
again and again, adjusting the depth of cut each
time until you get the cut depth that you want.
Depending upon the adjustment, shrimp can be
lightly cut and deveined, butterflied or split, (knob
in the full down position) or cut in any desired
depth from light to full split.
SETTING UP FOR DIFFERENT
SIZE SHRIMP
At delivery, the ShrimpPro has been set up for
shrimp in the medium size range. If you want to cut
shrimp of a different size, you must change the
Depth Cut Roller and readjust the Feeder Disc
spacing. ShrimpPro is shipped with two additional
Rollers; one for small shrimp and one for large
shrimp. The chart below shows which Roller is
designed for each shrimp size group and what
Feeder Disc spacing setting goes with each. Due to
shrimp size and packing variations, your experience
may differ somewhat. Use what works best for you.
Shrimp Size Disc
Range Setting Roller
70/80-41/50 S thinnest (S)
1. Make sure that the ShrimpPro power switch is in
the ‘OFF’ position and unplug the line cord.
NOTE: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE MACHINE BEFORE
REMOVING THE CUTTING GUARD.
2. Remove the Cutting Guard by unscrewing the
Depth Adjustment Knob.
3. Unscrew and remove the Feeder Shaft outer plastic nut, then remove the Outer (female) Feeder Disc.
4. Remove the Depth Cut Roller from the bent shaft.
5. Select the new Depth Cut Roller from the chart
above and slide it onto the Roller shaft until it just
touches the Inner Feeder Disc.
6. Remount the Outer Feeder Disc, making sure that
it always engages the correct keys around the
inner diameter of the Inner Disc as listed in the
chart. Screw the outer plastic nut back on the shaft,
making it hand tight.
7. Loosen the inner Feeder Shaft Nut and slide the
Disc assembly along the shaft until the Cutting
Blade is centered over the groove in the selected
Roller. Hand tighten the inner nut.
A REMINDER — USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING
NEAR THE CUTTING BLADE! IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO
USE CUT PROTECTIVE GLOVES.
8. Replace the Cutting Guard and Depth Adjustment
Knob, making sure that Depth Shaft goes through
the plastic Guide Washer in Guard arc opening.
Set adjustment for shallowest cut.
9. Check power switch. It should be in the ‘OFF’
position. Plug the line cord in.
10. Turn machine on and begin to cut shrimp.
Adjust for depth of cut as described earlier.
36/40-U/15 M medium (M)
U/12-U/8 L thickest (L)
The steps you must take to set the machine up to
cut different size shrimp are similar to those covered
in the earlier Section of PRE-OPERATING CHECKS
AND ADJUSTMENTS. Refer back to that Section’s
text and illustrations if you require clarification of the
instructions below.

CLEANING
ShrimpPro should be thoroughly cleaned after each
days use.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER.
THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE
AND CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF OPERATOR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK THE NEXT TIME IT IS USED.
