Abstract
The present invention discloses a device and method for peeling beans and separating the hulls from the peeled beans. The device for peeling beans comprising a rough disc (3) in a bowl (2), driven by an electric motor (1), to abrasively impact beans in water. A barrier ring (4) enables separation of the hulls from the beans and a special filter (5) gathers the hulls out of the mixture.
Claims5
A device for peeling beans and separating the hulls from peeled beans comprising:
- a disc having rough surfaces inside a bowl, for abrasively impacting beans in water within a peeling region bounded by a barrier ring having gaps between rings, a size of the gaps preventing the beans but allowing the hulls to pass to a collection region where the hulls may be trapped by a filter, and
- an electric motor for driving the disc having rough surfaces.
