Threshing & cleaning groundnut pods are both labour intensive tasks. Janakbhai Rathod has made a thresher cum cleaning device. It separates the pods and removes the residual soil on the pods and cleans the twigs and other debris. It uses 2.5 to 2 liter diesel to run for an hour processing 120-140 kg of pods. This machine is driven by PTU shaft on a tractor.

Salient Features:

• This machine separates the soil from the peanuts (cleaning).

• The soil is cleared from 120 to 140 kg of complete peanuts in 1 hour.

• Dry grass sticks are also separated from the peanuts along with the soil.

• The machine does not require frequent replacement of spare parts. So that its maintenance costs come down.

• The spare parts of the machine do not deteriorate quickly, so the machine has to be greased.

• This machine runs on a tractor and can be carried anywhere.
