The EP6000 huller is designed to process up to 6 tonnes of pea pods per hour, giving a net output of around 3 tonnes of shelled peas per hour (subject to regular feeding).
Main composition :
-
Beater drum (inside) The drive unit consists of a welded steel tube and sheet, protected by zinc plating, mounted on two self-aligning ball-bearing units.
-
Concave drum (outside) Equipped with 18 longitudinal bracing bars and 7 removable grids in galvanised woven steel (5 with 12 mm square mesh and 2 with 14 mm mesh).
-
Inclined cleaning mat This separates the peas (which roll downwards) from the lighter or sticky waste (which is carried up by the belt and evacuated).
-
Chassis Frame: sturdy, galvanised steel sections and sheets to support the entire assembly (drums, belts, controls, bonnet, walkways and chutes).
-
Drive system A single electric motor drives the threshing drum, concave and belt via two gearboxes and V-belts.
Operating principle :
The pea pods enter the shelling chamber through a chute, with the flow regulated by a circular deflector. With each rotation, the concaves lift and drop the pods onto the beater at high speed, causing them to open gradually.
Peas and small pieces of waste pass through the screens in the concave, while large pieces of waste are discharged towards the outlet.
On the inclined belt, the peas roll downwards, while the waste is transported in the opposite direction and removed by gravity or with the help of a rubber scraper.
Production capacity : up to 6 tonnes/hour of pea pods, for a net yield of 3 tonnes/hour of shelled peas.
