High-Precision Deskinning Component for Split Blanchers
The BP300450R is a critical contact component designed for industrial split blanching systems. Engineered with a specific Shore A hardness, this 10mm thick silicon pad provides the necessary compression and surface friction to remove peanut skins (testa) while preserving the integrity of the kernel halves.
This pad works in tandem with the blanching belt to ensure a high-efficiency "rubbing" action that cleans the nut without causing surface scarring or oil bruising.

Key Performance Benefits
Optimized Friction Coefficient: The surface texture is calibrated to grip the peanut skin effectively, ensuring a high "first-pass" deskinning rate and reducing the need for re-circulation.
Thermal Stability: Designed to withstand the residual heat of roasted kernels (often exceeding 80°C at the blanching stage) without warping or losing its elastic memory.
Oil & Chemical Resistance: Formulated to resist degradation from natural peanut oils, preventing the "swelling" common in standard rubber pads that leads to uneven pressure.
Hygienic Design: Non-porous food-grade silicon prevents bacterial buildup and is easy to sanitize during routine wash-downs.
Maintenance & Replacement Indicators
To maintain the highest quality of finished "half-nuts," inspect your BP300450R pads for the following:
Glazing: If the surface appears "shiny" or glass-like, the friction properties have depleted, and skin removal efficiency will drop.
Uneven Wear: Measure the 10mm thickness at the center vs. the edges. If the center is hollowed out, the pad will skip smaller kernels.
Heat Hardening: If the silicon feels brittle or cracks when flexed, it has reached the end of its thermal life cycle and should be replaced to avoid rubber particulates in the food stream.
Maintenance Note: For optimal performance, ensure the mounting surface is completely free of old adhesive or debris before installing a new BP300450R to ensure a perfectly level 10mm profile.
