are fed into the scarifier hopper from which they fall in a controlled stream between a rubber roller and a row of serrated wheels, revolving at a different speed. The peas pass through in a single layer so that each pea makes contact with the slitting wheel. The slit is made at a controlled depth -usually about 3mm as the peas pass between the rubber roller and the knives The purpose of scarifying is fully amplified in the Chapter 5 on the processing of vegetables(green peas) Bean Slicer Model w It is recommended in Chapter 5, on the subject of processing Green Beans, that slicing should be carried out after blanching, to avoid the loss of bean'seed'in the blanching water. Round pod beans are normally used for dehydration,and the Model w slicer gives a Julienne or French-style long cut rather than a transverse cut. the beans are fed by a belt incorporated in the machine to the cutting head, and kept in a straight line by oscillating parallel guides. The head consists of a circular knife spindle, a stripper plate assembly and a stationary knife The beans are cut lengthways by the circular knives, removed from between the knives by the stripper plate and guided on to a horizontal stationary knife at high speed, causing them to be cut through the centre at right angles to the cuts made previously by the circular knives A green bean snibbing line, cluster cutters and spill proof elevatoralp fed into the scarifier hopper from which they fall in a conhdled stream between a rubber roller and a row of serrated wheels, revolving at a different speed.
