Sheller Takes The Work Out Of Growing Peas, Beans
Company owner Terry Taylor points out that the rig has earned fame the world over, from Hawaii to Switzerland, and from Chile to Alaska.
Its small, portable size is a popular feature. Weighing only 35 lbs, and measuring 14 in. high, 16 1/2 in. wide by 27 1/2 in. long, the "Little Sheller" will process peas at 12 to 15 min. per bushel.
"Peas or beans are placed in the top tray and hand fed to the rollers. The shelled peas are dropped into the plastic tray and the hulls are discharged at the front of the machine," Taylor says. "Slight adjustments to the rollers allow you to shell large or small peas."
Taylor Manufacturing also produces a heavy-duty model called the "TaMaCo Huller," which shells peas and beans at 2 to 8 minutes per load. It loads and unloads from the front and boasts the following features: low voltage controls for safety, auto-timed cut off switch, triple filtering trash removal, dual drum drives, dual belt idler system, changeable door, filter and screens, internal swinging paddles for faster shelling and rubber-mounted sealed bearings.
The TaMaCo Huller is available in two sizes: the model 515 has a 1 1/2 bu. capacity and requires 115-volt power. It measures 25 by 76 in. long and weighs 488 lbs. Shelling capacity is 37 1/2 lbs.
Model 520 has a 2-bu. capacity and requires 230-volt power. With the same dimensions as the model 515, this unit weighs 492 lbs. and has a shelling capacity of 50 lbs.
Prices for the various units are: Little Sheller - $339.50; Model 515 - $3,595; Model 520 -$3,795 (plus shipping for all prices).
