Shelling apparatus for shelling beans, peas, or other legumes, comprises a shelling bin for shelling legumes comprising a wire mesh basket having a cylindrically shaped wire mesh wall with a closed side at one end and an open side at the other end, wherein the open side is adapted to receive the legumes to be shelled from the receiving chute. One wall segment of the cylindrically shaped wire mesh basket comprises a bin door having a length substantially equal to the length of the basket and is hinged to the wall of the cylindrical basket. Longitudinally extending within the basket is a beater comprising a longitudinal shaft rotatable within the basket with a plurality of beaters extending radially from the longitudinal bar along the length of the bar. Situated underneath the basket is transverse conveyor which is designed to remove the trash and shells to a trash removal conveyor. A separating apparatus is provided and comprises a pair of conveyor belts, one situated above the other and each inclined at a different angle from the horizontal. Positioned adjacent the uppermost conveyor and at an end thereof, is a rotatable separating drum having a cylindrical shape. A rotatable brush is positioned adjacent the drum to remove the stems or other particles from the surface of the cylinder. The second conveyor belt positioned under the first conveyor belt is adapted to move smaller articles such as peas directly into a container without the imposition of the separating drum.
