PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE The threshing machine, commonly used in traditional hazelnut processing systems, is 10. machines, typically large-scale equipment mounted on earthmoving vehicles These machines are forming and exhibiting high fuel consumption and low efficiency. They operate with internal combustion engines, thus increasing energy costs. It also creates environmental impacts. The mobile threshing machines used in current systems. While other machines can only operate in specific areas, stationary threshing machines are large 15 They are used in facilities and lack portability. Small-scale producers, however, still resorting to traditional manual sorting methods results in wasted time and high labor costs. It creates a need for power.

By using the components together, it separates the hazelnut from its shell and distinguishes between full and empty hazelnuts. It is a highly efficient system that classifies effectively. The system has low energy consumption, Portable structure and controlled mechanical contact principles that minimize product loss 5 It is based on. The invention consists of a drum (1) inside a housing, and an electric device that enables the drum to rotate. motor, hazelnut feeding section (2), sieve (3), hazelnut delivery section (4), fan inlet (5) and It consists of main hardware components that work interactively with each other, including brushes (6). Within the working principle of the invention; hazelnuts, from the hazelnut feeding section (2) 10 It is transferred to the system manually. Hazelnut feeding section (2), the hazelnuts It has a sloping surface towards the base which prevents accumulation and thus the feed The risk of clogging is minimized during the process. Inlet with the hazelnut feeding section (2). The outlet of the provided feeding unit is the controlled and even feeding of hazelnuts into the drum (1). It is designed at a slight angle to the vertical axis to allow for distribution. This 15 The structure maintains the load balance inside the drum (1) and ensures a continuous, uninterrupted flow. It contributes to this. The hazelnuts fed into the system exit the hazelnut feeding unit as described above. It is directed into the drum (1) from the point. The drum (1) is attached to the body. Rotation around the central axis via an electric motor within the system. 20 It performs the movement. In this way, the hazelnuts rotate inside the drum (1) Together, they are pushed towards the inner walls by the effect of centrifugal force. The brush located in this region (6) does not rotate together with the drum (1) but passes through the drum (1) and has two bearings It is connected to the shaft carried by its bearing. The shaft is driven directly by an electric motor and rotates 120– It is designed to rotate in the range of 180 rpm. The brush (6) is made of one-piece cast steel 25 It is manufactured from a material that prevents damage to the hazelnut shell during all contact. The surfaces have been softened by chamfering and rounding operations with radii of R2–R4 mm. Thanks to its geometric structure, the cast metal brush picks up nuts in a controlled manner without crushing them. It effectively removes the shell through friction. This mechanism is similar to the classic one. Eliminates breakage and product loss problems seen in threshing machines. 30 It removes. Hazelnuts separated from their husks are placed on a sieve (3) located at the bottom of the drum (1) It passes through. The mesh diameter of the sieve (3) depends on the type of hazelnut to be processed. It can be changed. In addition, the sieve (3) has a vibrating structure and this vibrating drum 4 the rotation of the shaft that passes through it and rotates the brush is in the range of 120–180 rpm by the direct transmission of natural mechanical vibrations resulting from its movement to the sieve It consists of; the drum structure uses springs or similar devices to protect against vibration. It is not isolated with damping elements, the vibration frequency is homogeneous in the hazelnuts. 5 This vibrational motion ensures that the flow in the processing line is continuous and It ensures that blockages are prevented. The mixture that passes through the sieve (3) reaches the hazelnut delivery section (4). At this point, The fan inlet (5), which is the airflow component of the system, is activated. Fan (5), By creating a directed, strong airflow, it removes hollow nuts and light shells. 10 It throws its particles upwards. In contrast, solid hazelnuts lose their weight. because of this, it moves downwards along the inclined surface without being caught in the air current. and are collected at the front of the machine. The fan (5) speed is used to blow the hollow nuts with the airflow. in a way that ensures the full-shelled hazelnuts do not shift position while being transported It is configured to operate at an air speed of 6–10 m / s. This speed range was determined in 15 studies. In tests, the pressure was low enough to not push a full hazelnut 50 cm away; however, it was low enough to push an empty one. High enough aerodynamics to be able to move hazelnuts and light particles out of the system. It generates force. In addition, an adjustable wall mechanism is integrated into the hazelnut delivery section, It is positioned at the end of the airflow created by the fan, and the flow of hazelnuts is 20 It is designed to control the behavior of the user on the line. The wall, user via M6 screw-pin mechanism, only vertical in the range of 0–30 mm. It can be adjusted along the axis (up-down), and thus the hollow part that is caught in the airflow While allowing hazelnuts weighing an average of 5 grams to be redirected outside the system 25 This ensures that by changing the wall height, different types and weights of hazelnuts can be treated differently. This allows for precise control of the airflow effect. The mechanism, which is not found in current technologies, significantly improves separation efficiency. It is designed as an innovative feature that enhances performance. In conclusion, the drum (1), brush (6), sieve (3), fan inlet (5) and adjustable wall 30 With the combined action of these mechanisms, the hazelnuts are separated from their husks without damage. The system where full and empty hazelnuts are properly classified, and which is energy efficient, A portable system is obtained. This structure is suitable for both small and medium-sized producers. It offers an economical, environmentally friendly and high-performance solution.
