Results for “Broad Beans Slitting Machine”

A broad beans slitting machine that scores or splits the skin of soaked broad beans so they open during frying, producing the blistered open-shell snack sold across the Middle East, South Asia and Latin America.

The slit has to cut the skin without cutting deep into the cotyledon, because a bean cut too deeply falls apart in the fryer and a bean not cut at all stays closed and hard. The blade setting therefore follows the soak time and the bean variety. The machine sits between soaking and frying in a fried broad bean line. Contact us with your bean size and soak routine and we will advise on blade configuration and feed rate.
