Design and experiment of sweet and waxy corn husker

In order to solve the husking problem in China, a fresh corn husker was developed based on advanced corn husking technology overseas. The corn husker has a pair of rollers running oppositely. Firstly the rollers rubbed the corn bracts partially depending on the friction between them when working, and then the pair of rollers clamped the corn bracts and peeled off the bracts. The characteristics of the equipment are low damage rate (≤5%), high husking rate (≥90%) and good husking quality for processing fresh tender sweet corn with the moisture content ranging from 58% to 73%. The equipment can solve the husking problem during the course of sweet corn deep processing, such as high damage rate, low husking rate and so on. The test results show that it can work well for high moisture sweet corn husking.
