Peanut Shelling Machine

Peanut Shelling Machine

Peanut shelling machine removes the hard outer shell of peanuts to get the peanut kernel. It is a key process in oil extraction from peanut and other oilseeds. The shells and peels of these oilseeds contain high moisture content, absorbing the oil from the kernel and reducing the yield. They also absorb the impurities in the oil and reduce the quality of the crude oil and the cake. The shelling process can be done before or after the pretreatment processes. In addition, it can be used to improve the quality of the finished product.

This is a very labor-intensive operation. A large number of people are needed to operate the shelling machines. These machines are expensive and require a lot of maintenance. Consequently, many of them cannot be afforded by farmers in rural areas. The Full Belly Project is working to establish businesses that manufacture and distribute affordable peanut shellers.

The PB-2000 Peanut Shelling Machine is designed to be easy to use. It uses a simple, rugged design and is made from durable materials. It has a low mechanical damage rate and can shell a variety of nuts and seeds, including peanuts, peas, sunflower seed, and walnuts. The PB-2000 can be easily transported to rural areas where it will help small-scale peanut farmers to increase their profits.

Compared with the traditional manual peanut sheller, this new model is faster and more efficient. It has three types of operating modes: a high-speed shelling mode and two slower dehusking modes. The high-speed shelling mode can be used to produce up to 98 percent of the peanuts in one pass. The slow-speed shelling mode is used to shell the remaining 10 percent of the peanuts.

This shelling machine has 3-4 rollers for shelling, different shapes of rasp bars and the function of sorting and sieving, second shelling makes the machine with a high shelling ratio. It can be used to shell raw, sun-dried ground peanuts and split the hard shell. It can also be used to shell other cultivated oil seeds like sunflower seed, sesame seeds, etc.

The rotary drum shelling machine works by impact and shearing methods to separate the peanuts from the shells. The teeth on the screw bar cut the peanuts and apply a shear force to them. The friction between the peanuts and the shells causes the cracking of the shell, which eventually breaks and detaches from the kernel. The gap between the shelling drum and the knife plate seat can be adjusted to control the shelling intensity. The adjusting mechanism ensures that the husks are screened out and not fed back into the grinding circuit. This prevents the deterioration of the peanuts and increases the shelling efficiency of the peanut sheller machine. The husks can be crushed and used as biomass fuel. The shelling machine is widely used in peanut farms, oil-pressing mills, and even in some restaurants. The machine is environmentally friendly and saves the workers' labor to a great extent.
