Design and Development of a Roasted Groundnut Peeling Machine
摘要
In this research work, an improved roasted groundnut skin peeling machine was successfully designed and developed. The main idea of the machines is to rotate the groundnut inside the drum peeler with the power of the rotary motor. The drum peeler wall has a shaft located in the middle of it. There are brushes attached to the rod, and these brushes will also be rotated to brush the groundnut skin and peel it off. The skin then will be separated from its nuts by the air blown in the drum and fall due to the gravitation effect. The use of this machine can reduce the cost of peeling the groundnut skin over the manual groundnut peeler. This machine is recommended for peeling the groundnut skin at small-size kitchens and at small-size enterprises only as there are a lot of machines that are focused on the industry level.
