Current Situation and Development of Peanut Production Machinery

Abstract:

The types and characteristics of the peanut seeder, harvester, sheller and picker were described. The advantages and the insufficiencies of every kind of peanut production machineries on their working principals, structural peculiarities, power configuration, performance indexes, and adaptable conditions were analyzed. The main factors which restrict the development of peanut production machinery were expatiated. Finally the proposals and countermeasure on acceleration of peanut production mechanization in China were recommended.
