How to use the peanut shelling machine?
Using a peanut shelling machine involves several steps. Here’s a general guide on how to use a peanut shelling machine:
1: Preparation
Ensure that the peanut shelling machine is clean and in good working condition.
Make sure you have a sufficient supply of peanuts to be shelled.
Read and understand the operating manual provided by the manufacturer.
2: Adjustments
Adjust the settings of the peanut shelling machine according to the size and type of peanuts you are processing. This may include adjusting the spacing between the rollers, the speed of the machine, and the airflow.
3: Loading Peanuts
Pour the peanuts into the hopper or feeding tray of the peanut shelling machine. Ensure that the peanuts are evenly distributed and do not overload the machine, as this may affect its efficiency and performance.
4: Starting the Machine
Turn on the peanut shelling machine and let it run at the recommended speed for the type of peanuts you are processing.
5: Shelling Process
The peanut shelling machine will process the peanuts, separating the shells from the kernels. The shells will be expelled from the machine, while the kernels will be collected in a separate container.
6: Monitoring
Monitor the machine during the shelling process to ensure that it is running smoothly and efficiently. Check for any signs of clogging, overheating, or other issues, and address them immediately.
7: Collection and Disposal
Collect the shelled peanuts in the designated container and discard the peanut shells properly according to local waste disposal regulations.
8: Cleaning and Maintenance
After completing the shelling process, turn off the peanut shelling machine and clean it thoroughly, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Regularly inspect and maintain the machine to ensure its long-term performance.
Note: The specific steps and procedures for using a peanut shelling machine may vary depending on the make and model of the machine. In many peanut shelling machines, dust removal or air separation is typically used as a pre-processing step before shelling peanuts. Dust removal helps to remove dirt, debris, and lightweight particles from the peanuts before they enter the shelling process. This helps to improve the efficiency of the shelling process and reduce the likelihood of clogging or damage to the machine. The dust removal process in a peanut shelling machine typically involves using airflow or pneumatic mechanisms to separate the peanuts from the lighter particles. The peanuts are usually fed into an air chamber or a series of air ducts, where a fan or blower generates airflow that carries away the lighter particles such as dust, shells, and other impurities. The peanuts, being heavier, fall or are separated from the lighter particles and are directed towards the shelling mechanism.
