The main experiments were carried out to develop the corn shelling machine to be suitable for shelling green pea and experimentally evaluate its performance. The machine performance was studied as a function of change in drum speed, feed rate and grain moisture content for two green pea varieties (Little Marvel and Master B). Performance evaluation of the developed machine was carried out in terms of machine productivity, shelling efficiency, crop losses, cleaning efficiency, energy requirements and criterion cost. The experimental results revealed that crop losses as well as criterion cost were minimum while shelling and cleaning efficiencies were maximum under the following conditions. The use of the developed machine for green pea shelling, operate the developed machine at a drum speed of between 620 to 710 rpm (8.26 to 10.26 m/s), carry out the shelling operation at a grain moisture content of between 66.4 to 69.8% and operate the developed machine at a feed rate of between 300 to 360 kg/h..
