The Laitram SMART P&D Platform is the industry’s first fully automated, integrated warm water peeling and deveining platform. Building on Laitram’s legendary peeling technology, this breakthrough system empowers processors to achieve hand-peeled quality and exceptional yields with up to 80% less labor. More than just equipment, SMART P&D is a comprehensive solution—combining advanced machinery, process know-how, and Laitram’s unparalleled support to deliver consistent results, reduced downtime, and total control, batch after batch. Laitram's automated shrimp peelers deliver high uniformity, consistent results, minimize labor, and maximize yield.

The SMART Sorter is Laitram Machinery’s patented system that uses advanced laser imaging and computer-vision algorithms to inspect, grade, and sort shrimp individually and automatically. Unlike traditional roller grading—which only considers the widest part of the shrimp—the SMART Sorter analyzes each shrimp’s entire shape, volume, and condition, offering precision and consistency with minimal manual intervention and no need to regrade. Individual grading by volume and weight maximizes product value by eliminating misgrading—every shrimp goes to its most valuable category.

With decades of experience, Laitram Machinery is recognized as the global standard in shrimp processing solutions, delivering the operational efficiencies and dependable automation required by leading processors worldwide. Our unwavering commitment to research and development drives continuous, patented breakthroughs—such as the SMART Peeling and Deveining System, SMART Sorter, and CoolSteam Cooker—each setting industry benchmarks and earning the trust of seafood producers worldwide. Backed by a legacy of innovation and rigorous field testing, our solutions ensure customers benefit from state-of-the-art technologies and expert support. Our priority is to help you maximize profit per pound by boosting productivity, lowering operational expenses, and achieving consistent, high-quality shrimp processing results at scale.

Shrimp Upgrade means capturing more profit by accurately grading and selling larger, higher-value shrimp at the best price. Traditional roller graders often misgrade shrimp, causing processors to allocate large shrimp to smaller, lower-priced categories. The SMART Sorter eliminates this loss by ensuring every shrimp is sorted into its correct size bins; that way, shrimp processors no longer sacrifice margin by underselling premium product.
