Air Peanut Blanching Machine operation Process

Yantai XT Machanical Air peanut peeling machine Operation Process:

Its air peanut blanching machine is a PLC-Controlled full automatic device.

Yantai XT Machinery Manufacturer have two model blanching machine

one is 500-700kg/h and match 22kw air compressor

another one is 1000-1200kg/h and match 37kw air compressor

Operation Process:

Pre-Operation Preparation


· Check air supply and equipment: Confirm compressed air pressure meets the machine's requirement (industrial models typically 0.7–0.8 MPa). Check that fasteners are tight and the peeling chamber is clear of debris.

· Confirm raw material condition: Peanut kernels should be roasted or dried to a moisture content of about 6–6.5%. Too wet or too dry skins will affect peeling performance.

· No-load test run: Power on and run idle for a few minutes to confirm correct rotation direction of fan and drive components, and no abnormal noise, before feeding.


Operating Sequence


1. Start auxiliary systems: Turn on the fan (or skin-removal/dust extraction system) first, then start the peeling main unit, ensuring skins are extracted promptly.

2. Uniform feeding: Feed prepared kernels quantitatively, evenly, and continuously into the hopper. Overfeeding causes incomplete peeling; underfeeding reduces efficiency.

3. Air-flow peeling: In the peeling chamber, high-pressure air makes kernels tumble and rub against each other, cracking and detaching the skins. Some continuous models have internal spiral guides that move material toward the discharge.

4. Skin/kernel separation and discharge: Detached skins are carried by airflow into the dust/skin collection device; peeled kernels discharge from the outlet into a vibrating screen or collection bin.


Key Adjustments & Precautions


· Airflow adjustment: If too many skins remain mixed in the discharge, increase suction airflow; if good kernels are being sucked away, reduce airflow.

· Safety: Never put hands or tools into the feed inlet or peeling chamber while running. If blockage occurs, power off and shut off air before clearing.

· Maintenance: Clean residual skins and broken kernels from the peeling chamber after each shift; periodically check fan belt tension and bearing lubrication.
