Key Features

• Manual Groundnut Shelling: Designed to split dry groundnut pods and separate the kernels more efficiently than individual hand shelling.
• Cast-Iron Construction: Strong, durable body designed for repeated agricultural and post-harvest use.
• No Electricity or Fuel Required: Fully manual operation keeps running costs low and allows use in locations without power supply.
• Helps Reduce Kernel Breakage: Designed to open properly dried pods while minimizing unnecessary damage to the kernels during normal operation.
• Compact Design: Small footprint makes the machine convenient for farms, households and small processing areas.
• Approx. 6 kg Weight: Portable enough to move between work and storage locations while providing a stable metal construction.
• Simple Operation: Straightforward hand-operated mechanism requires no complex electrical or engine maintenance.
• Suitable for Seasonal Processing: Useful during groundnut harvest when larger quantities of pods need to be shelled.

Suitable Applications

• Groundnut farms
• Small and medium-scale farmers
• Household groundnut processing
• Farmer producer groups
• Small agro-processing businesses
• Seed preparation, subject to maintaining suitable kernel quality
• Post-harvest groundnut processing

How It Works

Allow harvested groundnut pods to dry appropriately before shelling. Feed the pods into the machine and operate the manual handle or shelling mechanism.

The internal shelling action cracks the outer pod so that the kernels can be separated from the shell. Collect the shelled kernels and remove the empty pod material after processing.

Why Use a Manual Groundnut Sheller?

• Reduces repetitive hand shelling of individual pods
• Helps process larger batches during harvest
• No electricity or fuel expense
• Compact enough for small processing spaces
• Simple construction and low maintenance
• Useful for farms where powered shelling equipment may be unnecessary

Operating Tips

1. Use adequately dried groundnut pods for better shelling performance.
2. Feed pods gradually rather than overloading the shelling section.
3. Maintain a steady operating speed.
4. Inspect the kernels periodically and adjust operating technique if excessive breakage occurs.
5. Remove accumulated shells and debris during longer processing sessions.

Care & Maintenance

• Remove shells, dust and crop residue after use.
• Keep the machine dry during storage.
• Inspect the handle and moving joints periodically.
• Lubricate suitable moving parts when required.
• Store the sheller in a covered, dry location between seasons.

Important Note

Shelling performance and kernel breakage can vary according to groundnut variety, pod size, moisture level, drying condition, feeding rate and operating technique.
