The 20-inch maize sheller with a 3HP motor is a powerful and highly efficient machine, ideal for farmers and agricultural businesses with larger volumes of maize to process. This size offers a significant upgrade in capacity compared to smaller models, making it suitable for commercial use or larger farm holdings. This machine is semi-automatic designed to efficiently process corn. It effectively separates grains from cobs and cleans them using air pressure, ensuring clean grain output. This robust sheller streamlines the post-harvest process, making it particularly beneficial for small farmers and those operating in hilly regions, where efficiency and ease of use are paramount.
Features
:- Shelling Capacity: This is a crucial factor. For a 3HP motor, you can generally expect a shelling capacity of 800 kg/hr to 1500 kg/hr. This can vary based on the specific design and efficiency of the machine.
- Drum/Thresher Size: The "24 inch" typically refers to the length or diameter of the shelling drum or the feeding opening. This size is indicative of its capacity to handle a decent volume of maize cobs.
- Material: Most maize shellers are constructed from mild steel (MS) for durability. Some parts might be made of high-carbon steel for better wear resistance.
- Operation Mode: Generally semi-automatic or automatic. This means you feed the cobs into the machine, and it handles the shelling process, separating kernels from cobs.
- Drive Type: Often belt-driven, which is a reliable and common method for power transmission in agricultural machinery.
Applications
:Efficient Maize De-cobbing: Primarily used for quickly and effectively separating maize grains from their cobs after harvest, significantly reducing manual labor.
Grain Cleaning and Preparation: Applies air pressure to clean the shelled grains, removing lighter impurities like chaff and dust, preparing them for storage, milling, or sale.
Support for Small and Hilly Farms: An ideal solution for small-scale farmers and those in challenging hilly terrains due to its manageable size, versatility in power sources, and ability to boost post-harvest productivity.
Usage
:Post-Harvest Maize Processing: Farmers can use this machine immediately after harvesting maize to efficiently separate the kernels from the cobs, preparing the grain for storage or further processing.
On-Farm Grain Cleaning: It can be utilized to not only shell but also clean the maize grains on the farm itself, using its integrated air pressure system to remove debris before bagging or transport.
