(57) Abstract :
The Areca nut decorning device and its operation method as embodied in the present invention is employed for decorning the
bunch of Areca nuts. The device comprises a pair of rods provided above the drum (12). Motor (11) and drum (12) are connected
to pulley (13) via motor shaft and drum shaft respectively. Belt (14) rotates over the pulley(13). Initially, the bunch of Areca nuts
is hung onto the pair of rods (17). The device is operated by initiating the motor (11), causing the belt (14) to rotate on the pulley
(13), thereby rotating the drum (12) provided with atleast a plank (15) with spike(s) (16). The rotation of the drum results in
continuous hitting/striking action of the bunch of Areca nuts against the spike(s) (16) on the plank (15), provided on the drum
(12). This results in decorning of Areca nuts which are collected from the tray (18).
