Can the peanut sheller shell soybeans?

Although the peanut sheller is mainly designed for peanuts, its high-precision shelling structure and adjustable shelling rollers also make it suitable for soybeans.

Soybean shells are relatively fragile. By properly adjusting the machine gap and rotation speed, the peanut sheller can achieve efficient soybean shelling with a low breakage rate.

Principle of soybean shelling with the peanut sheller

Composition of the peanut shelling machine
Composition Of The Peanut Shelling Machine

The soybean shelling process is similar to peanuts:

  • Feeding: Soybeans are evenly fed into the machine through the hopper.
  • Shelling: The rotor drives the shelling rollers to rotate, applying pressure and friction to remove the shells easily.
  • Screening and air separation: The sieve separates the beans from the shells based on mesh size, and the fan blows away the light shells to achieve kernel-shell separation.
  • Collection: The vibrating screen further grades the soybean kernels to improve product purity.

Advantages of shelling soybeans with the peanut sheller

  • High shelling rate: All three models can achieve ≥98%, ensuring intact soybean kernels.
  • Strong adaptability: TZ-200 is suitable for small home workshops or farms, TZ-400 for medium-scale processing, and TZ-800 for industrial production or large seed plants.
  • Low breakage rate: Proper adjustment of shelling roller gap and sieve mesh size effectively prevents soybean kernel breakage.
  • Multiple power options: Can use gasoline, electric, or diesel power to suit different locations and power conditions.

Usage recommendations

Keep soybean moisture content at 10%–12% for the best shelling results.

Check for stones or hard impurities before feeding to avoid machine damage.

Adjust the shelling roller gap and airflow according to soybean size to ensure optimal shelling rate and kernel integrity.
