Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. is pleased to unveil the Melon Seed Gravity Separator, engineered to optimize cleaning performance for melon, watermelon, and pumpkin seed producers. By leveraging density-based separation, this equipment effectively removes broken shells, immature seeds, chaff, and sand, ensuring a cleaner seed output suitable for roasting, packaging, or further processing.
The Melon Seed Gravity Separator combines a carefully calibrated oscillating deck with a controlled airflow system. As seeds move across the inclined deck, vibration and air pressure stratify the mixture: denser, intact seeds settle and exit through the lower discharge, while lighter debris and shell fragments ascend and are removed by the aspirator. Operators may adjust deck tilt (0–5°), stroke length (3–7 mm), and air volume (0.2–1.2 m³/min) to match seed varieties, moisture levels, and contaminant profiles.
Key advantages include:
Custom Deck Profiles: Interchangeable deck mats with tailored groove patterns enhance separation efficiency for different seed shapes.
Fine-Tuned Air Distribution: Adjustable louvers within the air plenum allow precise control of airflow intensity and distribution.
Stainless Steel Contact Surfaces: Food-grade stainless steel hopper, deck, and chutes ensure hygiene and ease of cleaning.
Rapid Changeover: Quick-release clamps and tool-free access panels enable fast deck mat and air filter replacements.
Integrated Dust Extraction: Onboard dust port connects to external filtration systems, reducing airborne particulates.
In pilot installations, melon seed processors observed a 22% decrease in shell fragments and a 15% reduction in sand content after a single pass through the gravity separator. The cleaner output reduced wear on roasting and packaging equipment, while improving final product appearance and taste consistency.
Maintenance tasks are minimal, including periodic inspection of deck wear, cleaning of air filters, and lubrication of moving parts. Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. provides comprehensive documentation and spare parts kits to support efficient routine servicing.
Available in throughput capacities ranging from 0.5 t/h for small-scale operations up to 8 t/h for industrial plants, the Melon Seed Gravity Separator offers a scalable solution for seed cleaning lines. Its combination of adjustable separation parameters, hygienic design, and straightforward maintenance makes it well suited to meet the precise quality standards of the snack seed industry.
