Peanut sheller machine

• Feeding Hopper: Where dried castor pods are manually loaded.
• Shelling Unit: Often a conical double-drum with a rubber layer; pods roll and rub between the rotating drum and concave plate, separating shells from kernels through friction and impact.
• Blower/Winnowing Chamber: A fan blows air to separate lighter shells from heavier seeds, discharging shells and sending seeds for further processing.
• Shaking Mechanism/Sieve: Vibrating screens help sort the shelled seeds from remaining chaff and unshelled pods.
• Motor & Power Transmission: An electric motor powers the shelling and blowing units via belts and pulleys. 

• High Efficiency: Significantly faster than manual shelling.
• Low Breakage Rate: Rubberized parts protect the kernel, ensuring high recovery.
• Labor Saving: Reduces manual effort by up to 88%.
• Simple Operation: Easy to load and manage. 

1. Feed dried pods into the hopper.
2. Pods enter the shelling chamber, where rollers separate the husk.
3. Seeds and shells fall to the blower/sieve unit.
4. Air separates shells (blown out) from kernels (collected).
5. Unshelled seeds can be recycled for another pass.
