Abstract
Pistachio is one of the strategic products of our country, Iran, which takes a lot of time yearly to be processed, So doing scientific and applicable researches about it's power demand through the different process stages, can play an important role in power demand and expense decreases.
Based on the achievements of researchers, pistachio peeling stage takes the highest amount of energy compared to other stages and due to the orientation of pistachio peeler development toward the corrosive cage types, in this study we have tried to calculate the power demand and focus on kinetic analysis and safety factor determination of a two-corrosive-cage pistachio peeler.
According to the achieved results, this type of pistachio peeler has the maximum power demand of 41.8 KW and the 2.1 safety factor.
Key words: Pistachio, Pistachio peeler, peeling power, safety factor.
