            Groundnut grader mainly consists of a feed hopper, two slotted oscillating sieves, an eccentric mechanism and a frame. The two oscillating sieves have slot sizes of 10.75 mm x 50.00 mm and 9.50 mm x 50.50 mm. respectively. Sieves are oscillated by the eccentric mechanism. The machine grades groundnut pods/kernels into three distinct grades according to size. Oscillating sieves could be replaced by different grades depending upon the groundnut varieties to be graded.
