| SHELLING PROCESS
The shelling process consist of the following stages: |
|
BLANCHED PROCESS
Blanched process consists of the following stages: |
| |
|
|
Reception
The raw material is analyzed to determine its aptitude to be sorted as HPS peanut, or rejected with destination as crushing stock.
|
|
Heating
To facilitate the later removal of the skin
|
| |
|
|
Precleaning
This stage consist in precleaning the farmerstock and drying up to 9% if the raw material has higher level of moisture.
|
|
Blanched
Through machines specially designed to take the skin off the kernels
|
| |
|
|
Cleaning
Here the goal is to take all the possible foreign material out leaving just the in-shell peanuts.
|
|
Electronic sorting
To eliminate damaged kernels, or partially blanched and unblanched kernels
|
| |
|
|
Shelling
The aim of this stage is to separate the kernels from the shell
|
|
Metal detection
To avoid the contamination with ferrous and not ferrous foreign bodies and stainless steel pieces.
|
| |
|
|
Selection
At this stage, the selection takes place through gravity tables, electromagnets and electronic sorting machines to separate foreign matter, damaged kernels and other defects

|
|
Sizing
To classify the kernels in different sizes
|
|
Storage
