How do machines de-shell nuts like sunflower seeds and peanuts in massive quantities without harming the actual nut itself?
In: Technology
Peanuts are shelled kinda like grating cheese. There is a set of screens (like holes in cheese grate) in which the whole in-shell peanut is on with holes large enough for peanut meat to fall thru. Then on top is a set of bars that rub the peanuts one direction then other like grating cheese… the shells slowly breaks up allowing meat inside to fall thru. Hulls are blown/vacuumed off and you are left with raw shelled peanuts.
