Pepper Thresher

Innovator has developed the thresher which is used to thresh the pepper berries mechanically as well as manually. The thresher consists of a feeding hopper made of an iron sheet, a rotating wire-loop type threshing drum and a concave metal sheet with a perforated bottom, all of which are mounted on the main frame. Power from an electric motor is transmitted through the V-belt and pulleys to the threshing drum. The machine also has the facility of manual operation. The harvested pepper spikes are directly fed to the hopper through the rotating drum. The threshed pepper passes down through the perforations and gets collected at the berry outlets.
Pepper is usually manually threshed, which is a cumbersome and time consuming job done by women. During threshing, the berries may get damaged and the threshing percentage is also low. This machine is used to thresh the pepper berries both mechanically and manually.
