An oil spill recovery method and apparatus utilizing a low-resistance flow-through endless belt of reticular oleophilic, hydrophobic material and forced flow of water with oil through the belt through induction effected by propulsion means operating at a position immediately behind and beneath the submerged active portion of the belt.

Moving belt-type oil skimmer with propulsion induced flow, method and

Cooked shrimp to be peeled are distributed successively to tiers of sets of peeler rolls and cooperative reciprocative bars. The claimed invention permits coordinated adjustments of nip spacing and taper angle in the roll-bar tiers independently at corresponding ends of the sets and in each tier independently of the other permit optimum shucking in the first tier and polishing in the second tier suited to type and condition of shrimp. Cams are engaged by cam follower rollers connected to the peeler rolls to control nip distance between the bar and rolls at both ends as a function of relative vertical positioning of each bar and its associated peeler rolls.
