SYNOPSIS
We produce this powerful, yet easily portable electric pea sheller that is sure to
save you a lot of time and effort in the task of shelling peas and beans. First created by
Lee Manufacturing Company in 1976, many thousands were made with plywood. Now
our Electric Pea Sheller, Sr. (Mr. Pea Sheller) is constructed of great looking and durable
aluminum which makes it much easier to clean after shelling a bushel basket of beans.
Measuring approximately 16" in length and 9" tall (weighs Under 20 lbs), this pea
sheller is small enough to store easily and move from kitchen counter, to dining room
table to patio without much effort. Yet its powerful 1/15 horsepower motor will make
quick work of pea shelling. Plug into any outlet and you are ready to get to work. Our
shelling rollers have "teeth" or splines. They grip the bean pods and pull them through.
INTRODUCTION
Shell beans need warm soil, and require a growing season that has temperatures
averaging between 70-80 degree Fahrenheit (MEN, 2010). No matter what variety is
grown at the farm, it is essential that the beans have well drained soil that is rich in
organic matter. pH should range between 6.0 and 7.5-lime can be worked into the soil if
the soil is too acidic. As learned, legumes are able to fix their own nitrogen, so it is
essential that when growing shelling beans there is not an excess of fertilizer added to the
plots (MEN, 2010). Over fertilizing beans will result in a large amount of lush green
leaves and foliage, but few beans produced.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The Beans sheller machine works according to the principle of two point bending.
The rotation of the driven rolls being utilized to feed the metal through the rolls by means
of the frictional forces present between the surface of the rolls and beans. No lubricant is
used at its presence interference with the ability to grip.
