Device and method for peeling beans
The present invention discloses a device and method for peeling beans and separating the hulls from the peeled beans. The device for peeling beans comprising a rough disc (3) in a bowl (2), driven by an electric motor (1), to abrasively impact beans in water. A barrier ring (4) enables separation of the hulls from the beans and a special filter (5) gathers the hulls out of the mixture.

Produce shaker
Shown herein is a vessel having a rigid cylinder having an inside surface, an outside surface, a middle area, a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end is open. A frictional surface is located on the inside surface of the cylinder and in the middle area of the cylinder, and is capable of engaging with produce placed inside the cylinder. A first mounting surface extends from the first end of the cylinder and a first cap is removable and configured to couple with the first mounting surface on the first end. The outside surface of the cylinder is configured to engage with a hand of a user. When the produce is placed inside the cylinder and the user shakes the vessel, the produce engages the frictional surface to remove an outer surface of the produce.

PLANT MATERIAL TRIMMING DEVICE
The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus and related methods (i.e. utilities) for trimming plants, in particular, buds and flowers, to remove unwanted plant material. A typical application would be to process a plant to leave only trimmed buds and flowers for use in potpourri, fragrant sashes, or as a prelude to further processing of essential oils. The utilities enable faster and safer production of plant material than prior plant processing machines. The utilities employ a coaxial drum and cutting element that counter rotate. This coaxial cutting element typically includes a plurality of cutting elements, to create a plurality of cutting interface that shear unwanted plant material form plant material within the drum and then collect this debris though, for example, a vacuum system. The use of the counter-rotating cutting interfaces allows for multiplying the cutting interfaces over prior existing machines.
Egg Peeler Device Accessories
The egg peeler device accessories comprise replaceable top caps for an egg peeler such that each replaceable top cap reconfigures the egg peeler to perform a specific task. The replaceable top caps fit onto the top end of a body of the egg peeler in place of an original top cap. The first replaceable top cap reconfigures the egg peeler to separate egg yolks and egg whites. This cap comprises a plurality of slots around a concave portion of the cap such that egg whites flow through the plurality of slots while the egg yolk remains in the cap. The second replaceable top cap reconfigures the egg peeler to peel one or more cloves of garlic. The cloves are placed within the body and shaken where they strike spikes projecting from the inside surface of the second replaceable top cap, separating the coves and peeling them.

AUTOMATIC MACHINE FOR DRY PROCESSING OF GARLIC SHEAVES
The present invention relates to an automatic machine for dry processing garlic sheaves as they are harvested, the machine being formed from a series of phases connected to each other (100, 200, 300 and 400) which house a plurality of modules that make up the machine. There is a first phase for receiving, shaking and cutting sheaves, as well as for removal of waste and discards; a second phase (200) with lifting and distribution modules; a third phase (300) for forward movement and placement; and a fourth phase (400) for brushing, combing, removing roots from garlic bulbs, straightening the stem base or disc thereof, cutting the stem to size, removing, weighing, distributing and storing the garlic bulbs, with a higher performance rate compared to current machines for similar purposes.

PRODUCE SHAKER
Disclosed herein is a vessel comprising a rigid cylinder having an inside surface, an outside surface, a middle area, a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end is open. A frictional surface is located on the inside surface of the cylinder and in the middle area of the cylinder, and is capable of engaging with produce placed inside the cylinder. A first mounting surface extends from the first end of the cylinder and a first cap is removable and configured to couple with the first mounting surface on the first end. The outside surface of the cylinder is configured to engage with a hand of a user. When the produce is placed inside the cylinder and the user shakes the vessel, the produce engages the frictional surface to remove an outer surface of the produce.
