[0002] Sunflower seeds are the seeds of sunflowers. They are rich in nutrients, containing a large amount of protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and dietary fiber. Their health benefits include promoting cardiovascular health, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, regulating blood sugar and maintaining bone health. Unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E help lower cholesterol and blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease; antioxidants protect cells from free radical damage and slow down the aging process. In order to facilitate direct consumption or as raw materials for other processing, the sunflower seed kernel and shell separation process is usually required.

[0003] The current sunflower seed kernel and shell separation device generally utilizes double rollers with a fixed spacing for shelling. This structure has a good effect when shelling. However, due to the different shapes and sizes of sunflower seeds caused by varieties or purchase batches, smaller sunflower seeds will lead to poor shelling effect, and larger sunflower seeds will cause the double rollers to damage the sunflower seed kernels.
