Why Shelling Is Important in Oil Seeds Pretreatment

Employing high-performance oilseed sheller machines delivers multiple technical and economic advantages:

• Enhances oil yield by minimizing oil absorption in hulls
• Improves crude oil quality by reducing impurities and phospholipid content
• Elevates meal quality for better suitability as feed or further processing
• Increased capacity of oil press machines and solvent extraction systems
• Reduced abrasion and wear on oil pressing and conveying equipment
• Improved flaking efficiency in flaking mills
• Comprehensive utilization of shells and peels, enhancing sustainability

Our oilseed shelling solutions are widely applied in edible oil production lines for peanuts, palm kernels, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and other oil-bearing materials.

Types of Oilseed Shelling Machines

We offer a range of specialized shelling machines tailored for different oilseeds, ensuring high shelling rates, low broken kernel rates, and seamless integration into edible oil production lines.

1. Peanut Shelling Machine

Peanut shelling machines are specifically designed for efficient removal of peanut shells while maintaining low kernel breakage rates. They are widely used in peanut oil production plants and peanut pre-processing lines.

The BK-3500B Peanut Shelling and Cleaning Machine is a new-generation, multi-functional, variable-speed oilseed shelling machine developed for large industrial users. It integrates shelling, cleaning, and impurity removal into a single unit for continuous operation.

Key Advantages

• Removes mud, stones, and debris from peanuts
• Automatically separates immature peanuts without stopping the machine
• Low dust emission, improving the working environment
• High shelling efficiency with clean, bright kernels
• Low crushing rate, suitable for high-quality oil pressing

Technical Parameters

• Model: 6BK-3500
• Capacity: 3500 kg/h
• Power: 2 × 7.5 kW
• Crushing Rate: ≤ 4%

2. Palm Nut Cracker Machine

The palm nut cracker machine is used to break palm fruits prior to kernel recovery and palm kernel oil extraction. After crushing, the palm kernel separator efficiently separates kernels from shells using an upward airflow.

We offer both small and large palm nut cracker machines to meet diverse production needs in palm oil mill plants.

Performance Features

• Cracking rate higher than 95%
• Kernel broken rate lower than 1%
• Stable operation and long service life
• Compatible with palm nut grading machines for size classification before cracking

This equipment is critical for achieving high palm kernel recovery rates and enhancing overall efficiency in palm kernel oil processing lines.

3. Sunflower Seed Shelling Machine

This sunflower seed shelling machine employs centrifugal shelling principles with a specially designed impact plate structure. This configuration ensures efficient shelling while minimizing damage to sunflower kernels.

Technical Parameters

• Model: HTBKJ200
• Capacity: 7.5–8.5 t/h
• Feeding Power: 1.5 kW
• Main Power: 18.5 kW

Structural and Operational Advantages

Heavy-duty, thickened structure for continuous industrial use
Vibration-damping pads to reduce noise and operational vibration
Large inspection door for quick maintenance and replacement of rotors, guide plates, and impact plates
Reduced downtime and increased productivity

This sunflower seed sheller machine is ideal for large-scale edible oil production lines and solvent extraction pretreatment systems.

4. Walnut Cracking Machine

The walnut cracking machine primarily crushes walnuts of varying sizes and varieties. By adjusting internal clearances, it achieves optimal crushing results while preserving kernel integrity.

Post-crushing, the walnut kernel-shell separator efficiently separates kernels from shells using airflow separation. An upstream walnut grader can be installed to ensure uniform crushing results.

Application Benefits

• Suitable for multiple walnut varieties
• Adjustable cracking gap for precise shelling
• High kernel integrity and low breakage rate
• Ideal for walnut oil pressing and food-grade kernel processing
