A cocoa bean cleaning and sorting line is not only designed for cocoa beans — it’s a versatile, high-efficiency cleaning system that can handle a variety of granular materials. With its advanced multi-stage design, it performs impurity removal, stone separation, density sorting, magnetic separation, and grading, making it suitable for many agricultural and food processing applications.
Multi-Functional Design and Applications
While the system is optimized for cocoa beans, its structure and working principle are similar to the cleaning requirements of many other seeds and grains. That means the same line can be used for:
- Coffee beans: Remove dust, stones, and broken or moldy beans before roasting.
- Peanuts and nuts: Eliminates shells, stones, and light impurities to ensure high-quality raw materials.
- Sesame and soybeans: Effectively separate stones, sand, and damaged grains to improve purity.
- Corn and grains: Handles pre-cleaning and grading before milling or storage.
Each of these materials benefits from the same process steps — pre-cleaning, stone removal, density separation, magnetic separation, and grading — ensuring clean, uniform, and safe raw materials.
Key Components of the Cocoa Bean Cleaning and Sorting Line
A complete cocoa bean cleaning line typically includes:
- Pre-cleaner (5XZC-10DX): Removes dust, husks, and small debris.
- Stone remover (QSC-10): Separates heavy impurities like stones and sand.
- Density separator (5XZ-8): Removes moldy, insect-damaged, and low-quality beans.
- Magnetic separator (5CX-5): Eliminates metal and magnetic impurities.
- Grader: Sorts beans or grains by size for uniform processing.
This combination of machines ensures a thorough cleaning rate of up to 99.9%, helping maintain stable product quality and protect downstream equipment.

Case-Peanut Seed Cleaning Process
Pre-cleaning and Dust Removal
Raw peanuts first enter the pre-cleaning machine. Light impurities like dust, thin shells, and straw fragments are removed through air and vibration screens, providing clean material for further sorting.
Stone Removal
A stone remover separates heavy impurities such as stones and sand based on weight differences. Even stones close in size to peanuts are efficiently removed, protecting downstream equipment.
Density Sorting
Using positive airflow and a vibrating table, moldy, insect-damaged, or broken peanuts are separated from full, healthy peanuts, ensuring seed purity and high germination rates.
Magnetic Separation
A strong magnetic separator removes metal impurities like iron filings and nails, ensuring safe operation and clean raw material.
Grading and Screening
Multi-layer vibrating screens classify peanuts by size, producing uniform seeds suitable for planting or sale.
Through this process, peanut cleaning efficiency can reach over 99%, with uniform grains, minimal impurities, and less manual intervention, while protecting equipment.
