Groundnut Decorticator

A groundnut decorticator is a mechanical machine that is designed to shell groundnuts (peanuts), which removes the kernels from the outer husk of the nut and does so with minimal breakage. Groundnut decorticators are a key machine in agricultural processing, especially for seed preparation and oil extraction. Decorticators can be either manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic depending on how much processing you want to do at one time. The manual and pedal-operated units can be used on a small farm and generally can process between 25 kg and 100 kg at one time. Any decorticator with a motor ranging from 1 HP to 15 HP can be used in medium to large processing facilities. Some decorticators have an integrated grader, which can sort the kernels after it has shelled the kernels and sort the kernels by size, which can also improve the quality of your output. Most decorticators are made of mild steel and include painted or powder-coated finishes to provide a long-lasting machine in difficult processing environments. In general a decorticator can process 100 kg/hour for the minimal decorticators, but it also depends on how powerful the decorticator is. For the more advanced systems, their capacities can be over 1000kg/hour. Groundnut decorticators are not limited to just groundnut shells; some system designs will even allow you to shell other seeds, including castor and jatropha seeds.
