Peanut Sheller ( PAES 220-221: 2004 ) Flashcards
ratio of the weight of kernels blown by the sheller fan, to the weight of the total kernel input of the sheller, expressed in percent
blower loss
wholly or partially broken and insect-damaged kernel
damaged kernel
edible part of peanut
kernel
outlet outlet at which shelled kernel moves out of the machine
main kernel
machine used to remove kernels from the shell by breaking/splitting the pods (see Figure 1
peanut sheller
unbroken shell with kernel inside
pod
amount of kernels free of foreign matter expressed as percentage of the total weight of the sample
purity
ratio of the weight of kernels that fell out from the machine during shelling operation to the weight of the total kernel input of the sheller, expressed in percent
scattering loss
ratio of the weight of kernels that come out of the shelling chamber at the shell outlet, to the weight of the total kernel input of the sheller, expressed in percent
separation loss
hull of the pod
shell
outlet at which shells come out of the machine in case of the machine with blower(s)
shell outlet
whole and damaged kernels freed from shell
shelled kernels
ratio of the weight of the shelled kernels collected at all outlets, to the total kernel input of the sheller, expressed in percent
shelling efficiency
ratio of the weight of the shelled kernels collected at the main outlet, to the total weight of the kernel input of the sheller, expressed in percent
shelling recovery
ratio of the weight of kernels that remained in the pods collected from all outlets, to the weight of the total kernel input of the sheller, expressed in percent
unshelled loss
unbroken and non-insect damaged kernel
