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.
Claims10
A device for peeling beans and separating the hulls from peeled beans, characterized by and comprising a rough disc inside a bowl, for abrasively impacting beans in water within a peeling region bounded by a barrier ring which prevents the beans but allows the hulls to pass to a collection region where the hulls may be trapped by a special filter, and an electric motor for driving the rough disc.
A method for peeling beans and separating the hulls from peeled beans, characterized by and comprising driving a rough disc to abrasively impact beans in water within a bounded region, and separating the hulls from the beans by a double-stage filtration process, wherein the compartment for peeling is restricted by a barrier that is also the first stage filter to separate the peeled beans from the hulls, and the remaining mixture gathered in a second stage filter to trap the hulls.
