Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Handling Peanuts With Bucket Elevators<br/><br/>The bucket elevators caused only moderate damage to the peanuts. Generally, the Spanish peanuts were damaged the least, the Runner peanuts slightly more, and the Virginia peanuts the most. All three types of peanuts followed the same pattern in their sensitivity to a particular kind of damage. The least damage was always in split kernels, with loose shelled kernels (lsk) and cracked or broken pods next in order. The small-bucket elevator caused slightly more damage than the large-bucket elevator. The greater damage was attributed to the smaller clearance between the buckets and easing in the small-bucket elevator. Frequently the larger pods, particularly with the Virginia pea nuts, were caught and dragged along between the buckets and casing. Most of the damage occurred with the closer bucket spacings and at belt speeds above 200 f.p.m. Belt speed was more critical than bucket spacing in causing damage, and approximately 60 percent of the total damage occurred at belt speeds above 200 f.p.m.
