Peanut Seed Processing Line

Peanut Seed Processing Line

Peanut seed processing requires specialized equipment designed to handle the particular size, shape, and fragility of these legumes. The Peanut Seed Processing Line incorporates specific technologies that address the challenges of processing peanuts while maintaining kernel integrity. Initial processing stages focus on removing field impurities and foreign materials through combination cleaners that employ mechanical screening and air separation technologies.

The cleaning process utilizes specifically designed screening surfaces that separate peanuts from larger and smaller contaminants. Aspiration systems remove lightweight materials such as leaves, stems, and dust through controlled air currents. These systems incorporate adjustable parameters that can be fine-tuned according to specific peanut varieties and moisture conditions, ensuring effective cleaning without damaging the kernels.

Shelling operations represent a critical stage in peanut processing, requiring precise equipment that cracks the shells without damaging the kernels. The shelling equipment utilizes adjustable rollers or impact mechanisms that apply controlled force to break the shells. Subsequent separation systems employ air aspiration, screening, and gravity technologies that effectively separate shells from kernels based on differences in size, shape, and density.

Gravity separation technology enhances quality by removing immature, damaged, or hollow kernels that exhibit lower density. The separators utilize vibrating decks with precisely controlled airflows that fluidize the material, enabling density-based separation according to specific gravity differences. This process ensures the removal of low-quality kernels that could affect the overall quality of the final product.

Optical sorting technology plays a significant role in peanut processing by identifying and removing kernels with color defects, fungal infection, or physical damage. These systems employ sophisticated vision technology and processing algorithms that detect subtle differences in kernel appearance. The ejection mechanisms remove individual defective kernels with precision air jets, maintaining high processing speeds while ensuring effective quality control.

Packaging operations complete the processing sequence with automated systems that handle weighing, bagging, and palletizing. The packaging equipment accommodates various container types and sizes, from small consumer packages to larger bulk containers. Integrated control systems monitor package weights and apply necessary labels with product information and tracking details. The entire processing line emphasizes operational efficiency through automated material handling and process control systems that optimize production flow and quality maintenance.
