In recent years, the mechanized planting technology of peanuts has been widely popularized, and more and more users are buying groundnut picking machines. The groundnut picker is a versatile tool that can be used in the field and has many advantages over traditional methods of picking peanuts.

How Does the Groundnut Picking Machine Work?

The groundnut picking machine is powered by a motor or diesel engine that drives the machine to run and enter the fruit picking system through the feed inlet or the automatic feed table. The peanut is separated from the stem by the rotation and impact of the drum picking rod, and the fruit and sundries fall to the vibrating screen through the intaglio hole. The stem is discharged from the discharge outlet. The sundries scattered on the vibrating screen are transmitted to the impurity suction port of the fan through the vibrating screen to remove impurities, and clean fruits are selected, thus completing the whole process.

The speed of groundnut picking machine should not be too high or too low. If the rotation speed is too high, the rotation speed of the fruit picking drum exceeds the higher value in the required range, which leads to the excessive impact of the fruit picking claw on peanuts. The rotating speed should be reduced appropriately. If the gap is too small, the gap between the fruit picking drum and the arc bottom screen is smaller than the allowable value, so that the seedlings and peanuts rub too fast or too tightly in the gap. The gap between the drum and the arc bottom screen should be increased appropriately.

Unclear separation refers to peanut fruits, stems, and leaves that can’t separate clearly. The main reason is improper adjustment of air volume and wind direction. The separated peanuts are not clean, and the broken stems are mixed too much-it is caused by too small air volume or too large air supply angle, so the air volume should be increased or the air supply angle should be reduced appropriately. If there are too many peanuts mixed in the blown stems, leaves, and impurities, the air volume should be appropriately reduced or the air supply angle should be increased, because the air volume is too large or the air supply angle is too small. If the stem is too dry, the effect after adjustment is still not ideal, that is, there are still broken stems in the peanut fruit, which should be thrown manually once.

Benefits of Using a Groundnut Picking Machine

The groundnut picking machine has many benefits over traditional methods of picking peanuts. One of the main benefits is its high working efficiency. The machine can pick peanuts quickly and easily, saving time and labor costs. Additionally, the peanut picking machine has a low shell crushing rate, which means that it can pick peanuts without damaging them. This results in higher quality peanuts and less waste.

Another benefit of the groundnut picking machine is its convenience. The machine can be used for both dry stems and wet stems, making it a versatile tool for farmers. The machine is also easy to operate, which means that farmers can use it with minimal training.

Using the Groundnut Picking Machine More Efficiently

Familiarity with the groundnut picking machine’s operation form is essential to using the equipment scientifically and maximizing efficiency. By implementing these adjustments and understanding the machine’s function, farmers can optimize their peanut harvesting process and increase productivity.
