This invention discloses an adaptive multi-size
areca nut destemming device, comprising a hopper feeding
system, a
material distribution and lifting
system, a fruit-hole
conveyor belt positioning system, a double-headed flexible reverse rotation destemming
system, a multi-track synchronous opening and closing mechanism with fruit length
adaptation, and a return and
collection system.
Areca nuts are fed into the lifting
conveyor belt via a conical guide hopper, separated individually by an outward-facing octagonal groove, and guided into the semi-elliptical fruit holes of the positioning
conveyor belt by
material distribution guide wheels. Upon reaching the destemming
station, the two destemming heads clamp both ends of the
areca nut under the action of the synchronous opening and closing mechanism and the fruit length
adaptation mechanism, and separate the fruit stem by reverse rotation. Abnormal fruits are returned through a screening port and a return trough, while the destemmed pulp and fruit stem are guided and collected separately. This invention can adapt to continuous automatic destemming of
areca nuts of different sizes, and has the advantages of stable
material distribution, accurate positioning, high destemming efficiency, and high degree of
automation.
