Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric cashew nut shelling machine comprising a structure composed of a 40 x 40 mm tube, a 35 x 35 mm angle iron and a 16 mm square rod. The machine structure, with a dimension of 1,830 mm in height, 1,580 mm in length and 1,040 mm in width, contains all the parts of the sheller. This machine has the capacity to produce 150 kg of cashew nuts per hour.

Description

The present invention relates to an electric cashew nut shelling machine.

The old invention (OA 19910), "improved mechanical machine for shelling cashew nuts" consists of a chair, two pedals, a chain, three free wheels, elevator, conveyor, funnels adapted to the cutting blades, pushers, a bucket divided into two parts and a tray that carries the cashews to a basket to be processed into almonds.

However, this operation has been considered less productive, since, on the one hand, it consumes more time and consequently great physical wear and tear on the operator.

The main objective of the present invention is to minimize operator effort, increase productivity and completely eliminate operator physical effort. This goal is achieved by an electric cashew nut shelling machine composed of a main metal structure, incorporating a three-phase electric motor whose driving pinions are connected to shafts which facilitate the movements of the cashew nut elevator and push arms for cutting nuts (Reference 8).

This electric machine presents another improvement that saves production time and with a high percentage of whole almonds.

The new device according to the invention also has a great advantage in terms of production efficiency, since it processes approximately 50 kg of nuts in one hour and, in terms of comparative results, this production is equivalent to 95% of the kernel entire compared to 25-80% for the previous system; 2% broken almond against 8% also for

Page 1 of 4 previous device and 3% of the mutilated chestnut against 12% of the old device.

This electric machine operates with an electric motor starter (23), which drives the rotation of the drive pinions (20), gears (21) and chains (10) which connect to the shaft of the push arm (15), which moves the push arms (16) and the elevator movement shaft (13) which allows the cashew nut output regulator (12) to rotate simultaneously with the nut elevator (8), bringing it to the nut guide (7), then to the funnel (4), then it is pushed through the nut pusher (3) to the blades (6) the cutting process and the consequent release of the final product (ALMOND).

The invention finally comprises a pinion support (17) and an electric motor (23).

According to one embodiment of the electric cashew nut shelling machine, it is composed of a metal structure incorporating a three-phase electric motor provided with drive pinions connected to shafts which facilitate the movements of a food elevator. cashew nuts and push arms for cutting nuts.

The three-phase electric motor (23) is used to produce all movements of the machine during operations of the nut cutting process.

The driving gears (20) are connected to shafts which facilitate the movements of the cashew elevator and the push arms for cutting nuts.

The electric cashew nut shelling machine according to the invention comprises a gear system (21) which makes it possible to reduce the rotation of the motor up to 60 revolutions/minute.
