Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pine nut processing equipment, and more specifically to a screening device suitable for pine nut grading. Background technology:
[0002] Pine nuts, also known as pine nuts, are the seeds of plants such as the Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis).
