Depending on the model, the machine’s capacity ranges from 50–1000 kg/h, with a shelling rate of over 98%, and power configurations from 0.4 kW to 4.4 kW, making it suitable for diverse requirements from small processing workshops to large-scale production enterprises.
Cocoa bean peeling machine for sale
Our cocoa bean peeling machine quickly and cleanly separates shells from nibs. The machine is equipped with three powerful fans and three vibrating screens, ensuring precise grading and effective shell removal. It also comes with a conveyor system, which allows continuous feeding and smooth operation.
The airflow intensity is adjustable, giving operators full control over the peeling process. In cases where the shells are not completely removed in the first round, the conveyor automatically returns the beans into the machine for secondary peeling, resulting in a cleaner and higher peeling rate.

Cocoa bean shelling machine structure
The cocoa bean sheller machine is built with a compact yet efficient structure that integrates multiple processing components to ensure smooth operation.
It mainly consists of a feeding hopper, peeling rollers, vibrating screens, fans (blowers), and a cyclone system for shell collection.

How does the cocoa bean sheller machine work?

- Feeding – Cocoa beans are evenly fed into the hopper.
- Shelling – The beans are rolled and shelled by the peeling rollers.
- Screening – The shelled beans fall onto the vibrating screen, where they are separated according to different particle sizes.
- Shell removal – With the help of the blower, the separated shells of different sizes are sucked out and collected in the cyclone storage system.
- Nib discharge – The cleaned cocoa nibs are discharged from the outlet.
- Adjustment – By regulating the airflow intensity and the gap between peeling rollers, complete separation of shells and nibs can be achieved.

Cocoa bean sheller machine advantages

- The machine is made entirely of 304 stainless steel, ensuring durability and hygiene.
- High automation allows fast shelling with low noise and minimal manual labor.
- It can efficiently process both cocoa beans and peanuts for industrial use.
- A built-in vacuum dust collector captures red skins and keeps the environment clean.
- Adjustable fans and vibrating screens ensure thorough shell separation with secondary peeling for incomplete beans.
- Easy operation and maintenance reduce downtime and ensure smooth workflow.
