The Peanut Blancher removes the skins from de-shelled peanuts. As the peanuts pass through the blanching head, the skins are removed into a collection bin and cyclone extractor. They then pass over a vibrating tray that separates the hearts (kernels) and split peanuts into separate bins. The whole nuts continue to discharge off the front of the vibrating tray into a container. The separation process can be utilized for various packaging options such as 100% split, 50% split: 50% whole, or 100% whole.
