Round Grader for Separating Shelled & Unshelled Peanuts – Swastik
Machine Overview

Round Grader & Peanut Grading Machine Overview

Swastik Technology’s Round Grader is a precision sizing machine that passes peanuts across stacked circular screens, each with a different perforation size, so that the crop leaves in separate, uniform size grades. Supplied as a Peanut Grading Machine for kernels and pods, it is also sold as a Peanut Round Grader, a Peanut Grader Machine or a Circular Grader, depending on how a buyer names it. As an established Round Grader Manufacturer, Swastik Technology builds each unit as an Industrial Peanut Grader for continuous duty, with an Automatic Peanut Grader option for lines that run with steady, controlled feeding. Capacity, screen sizes and the number of grades are selected for the crop and the buyer specifications the plant has to meet, and the machine sits naturally beside our Peanut Dryer Machine and shelling equipment on a complete groundnut line.

What Is a Round Grader?

A Round Grader is a grading machine in which several circular screens are stacked inside a round frame that moves in a gentle circular motion. Peanuts are fed onto the top screen, and as the frame moves, each deck lets product smaller than its perforations fall through while carrying larger pieces to a separate outlet. Because the screen openings get finer from top to bottom, the machine divides one mixed feed into several size grades in a single pass. The circular motion moves product smoothly across the screen, which helps keep delicate kernels from cracking or splitting.

The same job goes by many names in the trade, including Groundnut Grader, Groundnut Grading Machine, Peanut Screening Machine, Peanut Sorting Machine and Peanut Size Sorting Machine. Whichever name a buyer uses, this grading stage is what turns a mixed crop into graded product that can be priced, packed and shipped by size. It sorts by size and not by colour, so discoloured kernels are a job for a separate sorting stage.

How It Works

How Does a Peanut Grading Machine Work?

1

Feeding

Cleaned peanuts are fed onto the top screen at an even, controlled rate through a hopper.

2

Circular Motion

A motor-driven drive moves the screen frame in a circular motion so product spreads smoothly across each deck.

3

Screening

Each screen passes product smaller than its perforations downward and carries larger pieces forward.

4

Size Separation

Perforation sizes get finer deck by deck, dividing the feed into distinct size grades.

5

Grade Discharge

Each size grade leaves through its own outlet into bags, bins or the next conveyor.
