Spanish term or phrase: EXTRACTORA DE MOLUSCOS
A machine that, well, extracts molluscs

No hits for Mollusc/Shellfish extractor/remover, only 1 for mollusK extractor...

Any ideas? Mollusc extractor sounds fine to me, unless there's a special term I'll use that I suppose. The machine and system are patented so in theory that gives me a little more freedom ¿no?
