It can be divided into stages: fishing or gathering, washing, despining, cooking, peeling or deshelling, bottling and marketing. The step to peel or deconch it occurs through sieving. It is carried out mainly by women and children, who are subjected to great physical effort, as it is a completely manual operation. They are exposed to terrible ergonomic conditions and receive the lowest pay in the entire production chain. In this context, mechanization and automation are seen as a viable solution to reduce human suffering and the evolution of processes and products. The objective of this work was to expose, in an organized way, the technical and intellectual productions, during the Postgraduate Program Analysis of Environmental Systems, at Centro Universitário CESMAC, to develop a prototype built with recycled or reused materials, capable of peeling sururu and reduce the pain of seafood restaurants. This prototype for sifting sururu should improve the quality of life of workers involved in this production chain. The reduction of physical efforts resulting from its use should also reduce the emergence and incidence of muscle injuries and injuries. For its construction, experimental research was initiated, which included a literature review, patent prior research and the use of tools and software for projection, modeling and manufacturing. The prototype consists of a perforated and rotating basket, through which the molluscs fall and the shells are retained inside. As for its operation, when activated, an electric motor on the prototype produces the rotational movement of the perforated basket and the sururus that pass through the holes fall onto a tray placed at the base of the equipment. After completing the operation, the sururus must be collected and the shells must be discarded or reused appropriately. The research was carried out at the Shared Innovation and Technology Laboratory (Colab), of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Alagoas (IFAL), Campus Maceió, with support from projects promoted by technological innovation notices, in addition to partnerships with institutions, non-governmental organizations and cooperatives. It begins the transition to the manufacturing process and should be expanded to generate new products, with the aim of serving other activities in the sururu production chain. Currently, research on the ergonomic impacts in the sieving stage is being developed, through which it will be possible to evaluate the benefits of using the prototype. And research to carry out tests with the purpose of establishing optimal operational parameters must be carried out.ptErgonomia. Economia socioambiental. Sustentabilidade ambiental.
