Corn or Maize Sheller

Corn or Maize Sheller, also called threshing machine. It can be powered by a hand crank, a tractor, a station engine, or by an electric motor.

Our maize or corn sheller is applicable for peeled corncob to finish the combination process including threshing, separating, cleaning and cocking at a time. It is very convenient and flexible to move and use.

Whole corn cobs are fed in. They are pulled between two toothed wheels, usually made of metal. Each wheel spins the opposite direction of the other. The teeth pull the kernels off the cob untial there are no kernels left. The kernels fall out through a screen into a container(such as a bucket) placed underneath the maize or corn machine. The cob is then ejected out，since it cannot pass through the screen. Some models have a “walker”, similar to a threshing machine or combine, to take the cobs out.

Maize or corn has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. In addition to being consumed directly by humans, maize is also used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as cornstarch and corn syrup.
