The soil of Yanqian Town is sandy and conducive to the cultivation of peanuts. Dongfeng Village is known locally as “Peanut Village”. The peanut harvest season is the most happy, busy, also the most worry time of the villagers. Unlike other crops, peanuts need to be washed, boiled and dried within two days of being picked. In the past, if the weather is bad, peanuts can only deteriorate and rot. In order not to let peanuts rot in rainy days, many villagers use wood, coal for baking the peanuts, which has high labor cost. The baking temperature is difficult to control and the baking quality is difficult to guarantee. There is also pollution of the environment.

A peanut cooperative was established in Dongfeng Village to solve the problem of “peanut roasting” in Dongfeng Village and actively promote the replacement of electric energy. Therefore, the cooperative purchased peanut washing machine, steamer, peanut roasting machine, screening machine, peanut oil press, freezer and other peanut processing integrated equipment to realize peanut washing, steaming, drying, crisp suction, packaging and other intelligent, efficient, energy-saving modern production. At the same time, Wuping power supply company increased the rural network transformation of Dongfeng village and add two 10kV lines and two transformers for the village and update the high and low voltage lines and household line, and open the green channel for agriculture to get rich. A dedicated line for the peanut processing plant is set up only with half a day time.

A thousand kilograms of peanuts need to be exposed to the sun for three days in good weather. Now it can be done in an hour using the peanut roaster. It’s really convenient. Villagers have expanded their peanut planting after aware of the benefits of electrified peanut roasting, and in the first half of this year, the peanut roasting plant with only one line has been booked up. Many villagers began to buy small household peanut roasters to spread the baking pressure. In order to ensure the electricity safety during the peanut roasting period, the service team went to the village to inspect the power supply lines and equipment of the peanut processing plants and the villagers who purchased peanut roasters so as to eliminate all kinds of electricity safety risks in time.
