Hand-Crafted Shellers Chuck Peas And Beans FARM HOME Food 29-3-31
"Our patented Roto-Fingers Pea-Bean Sheller has been called the best by farmers and produce stand owners across the South. These machines are hand crafted one at a time so you can expect years of reliable service," says Larry Welborn, whose 92-year-old father, W. W. Welborn, invented the sheller. They're manufactured in Laurel, Miss. "If you should have a question, we are always just a phone call away. You will speak to a real person, not an answering machine. There's a good chance you will speak with the inventor himself."
The Roto-Fingers home model operates on 120 volts and shells up to one bushel in 3 to 10 minutes (depending on variety and maturity). No adjustments are necessary when switching between peas and beans, and as long as dew or moisture has evaporated from the hulls, it shells fresh-from-the-garden produce without bruising.
There's no need to wash the peas or beans and it shells all varieties of peas and lima beans except for jumbo lima beans.
The home model is 42 in. high by 32 3/4 in. wide by 28 in. deep, and weighs 160 lbs. It sits on a wood frame and sells for $1,350, plus shipping.
The commercial model has all the same features, but double the capacity. It stands on an all-welded steel frame on casters for mobility. It is 55 1/2 in. high by 29 1/2 in. wide by 62 in. long, and weighs 350 lbs. It's priced at $3,200.
The cage on both units is made from high impact molded plastic.
An enhanced cleaning system option is available for $350.
"In some cases, certain varieties and maturity levels can cause trash to be an issue. The optional enhanced cleaning system removes the pieces of hull that can, in certain instances, break up along with the peas and come through the separator units. These pieces of hull weigh less than the peas or beans, and are blown out by the cleaner, leaving the final product practically trash free."
Prices are subject to change. Write or call for a brochure.
