Shelling Equipment for Samples of Peanuts

Author

  • Dickens, James W.

Abstract

Report Summary: Equipment suitable for shelling samples of farmers' stock peanuts for inspection has been developed. The equipment shells a 500-gram sample in 3 minutes or less, and enables the use of samples larger than the 100-gram samples of Spanish- and Runner-type peanuts or the 8-ounce samples of Virginia- type peanuts which were used before the development of this equipment. The larger samples decrease greatly the sampling error in peanut grading. The sample sheller gives an objective measurement of milling quality, an important quality factor for farmers' stock peanuts, and may meet the need for a standard method of determining milling quality by the entire peanut industry.
