Recently, we successfully completed the customized production of a pumpkin seeds extraction machine and sent it to Zambia smoothly. The customer manages a melon farm, growing pumpkin, watermelon and other crops over 200 hectares annually.
Customer demand and equipment selection
In the pre-communication, the customer clearly put forward the problems it faces:
- Soaring labor cost: the traditional seed extraction requires 8 people to process 1 ton of melon per day, accounting for 35% of the production cost.
- Serious waste of raw materials: manual separation leads to 15% seed breakage rate, and the quality does not meet export standards.
- Outstanding equipment gap: local agricultural workshops can only provide primary crushing equipment, which cannot meet the demand for industrialized processing.
To solve these problems, we recommend using the pumpkin seeds extraction machine for pumpkins, watermelons, melons, gourds, and other melons.
The machine is driven by a tractor PTO (Power Take-Off Axle), suitable for high-power wheeled tractors, flexible in operation, and especially suitable for operation in the African plains. For more details, please click: Watermelon Pumpkin Seed Harvester丨Pumpkin Seed Extractor.

Shipping and service guarantee
After the machine was assembled and debugged, we carried out rigorous field tests on the machine and recorded a detailed video operation guide for the customer.
Before shipment, the factory technicians cleaned the machine as a whole, packaged and reinforced it, and arranged professional logistics and transportation to ensure that the equipment arrived safely in Zambia.
At the same time, we will continue to provide remote installation guidance, operation training, and technical support to customers to ensure that the equipment is successfully put into operation in the local area.
