Study on the Improvement of the Peanut Splitter (1)

The Performance of the Wing Type Peanut Splitter

Abstract

Wing type peanut splitters are being used presently in peanut processing facilities. However the level of efficiency and accuracy of this performance is unsatisfactory and requires improvement.
In this report, we analyzed the relationship between the changes in the various mechanical factors and the performance of the wing type splitter. Also the process of pod splitting and the damage caused to the kernels in the splitting chamber were studied by using a high speed video recorder.
