As an efficient agricultural machinery and equipment, peanut sheller machine is widely used in peanut processing. However, in practical use, it is found that different varieties of peanuts have a significant impact on the shelling rate of the peanut sheller machine. Then, why does the material variety play such an important role in the shelling rate? The following is analyzed from several aspects.
1. Hardness and thickness of the peanut shell
There are differences in hardness and thickness of peanut shells among different varieties. Some varieties of peanut shells are thick and hard, which requires more mechanical force to break, while varieties with thin and brittle shells are easier to shell. If the design parameters of the sheller, such as drum speed and gap, fail to adapt to the characteristics of the material, it may lead to incomplete or excessive shelling, thus affecting the shelling rate.
2. Size and shape of peanuts
The size and shape of peanuts are directly related to the working efficiency of sheller. Some varieties of peanuts are larger and regular in shape, which are easier to be mechanically clamped and shelled. However, varieties with small seeds and irregular shapes may slip or get stuck during shelling, resulting in a decrease in shelling rate. In addition, excessive particle size difference will also increase the difficulty of mechanical adjustment.
3. Differences in water content of peanuts
The water content of different varieties of peanuts may be different during planting and storage. Peanut shells with high water content are soft and easy to adhere, which is not conducive to smooth shelling; However, if the water content is too low, peanuts may become too fragile and cause grain damage. Therefore, the change of water content brought by material varieties will also directly affect the shelling effect.
4. Mechanical design and material matching
Different varieties of peanuts need shellers with different design parameters. For example, some shellers are suitable for processing peanuts with small and medium particles, while others are designed for large particles. If the machine fails to adjust the parameters according to the material variety, it may lead to low shelling efficiency or increased loss.
To sum up, the variety of materials has an important influence on the shelling rate of peanut sheller machine. In order to improve the shelling efficiency, farmers and processing enterprises should choose appropriate equipment according to peanut varieties and adjust mechanical parameters in time to achieve the best processing effect. This can not only improve the production efficiency, but also effectively reduce the waste of resources and bring higher economic benefits to agricultural production.
