ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for removing the skins from shelled nuts. Nuts such as peanuts are fed into a hopper mounted to a carriage adjustably positioned above a horizontally moving conveyor belt. A plurality of spaced parallel baffles extends diagonally across and slightly above the upper reach of the conveyor with the working faces of the baffles being of an abrasive character. The nuts are fed from the hopper in individual streams between baffles and onto the conveyor where the combined action of the longitudinally moving belt and the diagonally extending fixed baffles will rotate the nuts and move them lengthwise along the baffle to one side of the conveyor, removing the nut skins in the process. The carriage is mounted on a first pair of tracks extending parallel to the baffles with a lead screw and crank provided for moving the carriage diagonally with respect to the belt in order to dispense the peanuts at different spaced points along the baffles. A second pair of tracks extending lengthwise of the conveyor supports the first set of tracks with another lead screw and crank for moving the carriage and first set of tracks lengthwise for longitudinal adjustment thereof.
