An Evaluation of Some Mechanical Methods for Shelling Melon Seeds
Abstract
A series of investigations were conducted on a number of mechanical devices which were designed for shelling melon seeds. The results of these investigations are reported in two parts in order to facilitate the presentation. Part I describe the results of using devices which subject the seeds to a combination of pressure and scrubbing simultaneously. Part II describes the performance of devices which bend and scrub the seeds simultaneously.
