<p>PEA SHELLING APPARATUS A device for shelling peas, beans, and the like. The device comprises a rotating drum having a plurality of paddles mounted therein on a rotating shaft which extends axially through the drum. The paddles each have a flat striking surface which extends for substantially the entire length thereof and which is oriented to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotating shaft. A cover surrounds the drum and forms a chute for guiding kernels separated from the shells in the drum onto an inclined trough which guides those kernels to a collection location. The drum and the paddles both rotate in the same direction at prescribed velocities.</p> |
