Differences between three popular groundnut peeler machines
The groundnut peeler machine is used to remove the red skin from peanut kernels before further processing. However, not all peanut peeling machines produce the same results. Some remove the skin without using water; others use a wet peeling process, while some machines remove the skin and split each peanut into two halves at the same time.
The three common types are dry peanut peeling machines, wet peanut peeling machines, and peanut peeling and splitting machines. Their main differences lie in the peeling method, finished product, and suitable processing requirements.
Type 1: Dry peanut peeling machine
The dry groundnut peeler machine is mainly used to remove the red skin from roasted peanuts. After roasting, peanut kernels enter the machine, where mechanical friction separates the loosened red skins from the kernels.
- Processing method: Dry mechanical peeling.
- Pretreatment: Peanut kernels need to be roasted.
- Finished product: Peeled whole peanut kernels.
- Application: Roasted peanut processing and further production of peanut products.
Type 2: Wet groundnut peeler machine
The wet peanut peeling machine uses water-assisted peeling. Peanut kernels are first soaked or blanched in hot water to loosen their red skins. They then enter the machine for mechanical peeling.
- Processing method: Water-assisted mechanical peeling.
- Pretreatment: Soaking or hot-water blanching.
- Finished product: Peeled whole peanut kernels.
- Application: Peanut butter, peanut ingredients, and other food processing.
Type 3: Peanut peeling and splitting machine
A peanut peeling and splitting machine combines skin removal and kernel splitting in one operation. During processing, it removes the red skin and separates each peanut kernel into two halves.
- Processing method: Mechanical peeling and splitting.
- Finished product: Peeled peanut halves.
- Application: Split peanut production and food ingredient processing.
