Personal Peanut Sheller
- Technology Benefits
- The system:ΓÇóIs compact and highly portableΓÇóEnables effective shelling and sorting of peanutsΓÇóComprises a unique, diamond surface geometryΓÇóInvolves a design mechanics, mimicking the operation of a pepper grindingΓÇóEffectively incorporates the industrial shelling method on a small scaleΓÇóIs associated with an enhanced efficiency (decreased shelling time) as compared to hand shellingΓÇóHas a unique ability to interchange shelling and sorting piecesΓÇóInvolves the use of a ΓÇÿfatigue loadingΓÇÖ shelling method for effective shell fractureΓÇóFurther involves the use of a ΓÇÿgravity fedΓÇÖ sorting method to filter out the undesirable materialΓÇóWould be useful for home based peanut shelling/sorting as well as recreational usage (e.g., at sporting events, bars/restaurants, camping/hiking)

- *Abstract
-
In prior art, none of such peanut shelling/sorting systems has ever been reported for a personal use. As a result, this activity is mainly performed manually (using hands). Industrial systems are available, however most of these systems are bulky and only useful for large scale purposes. This novel approach discloses a personal peanut shelling system, effectively capable of both shelling as well as sorting.
