    Abstract: Techniques for electrostatically de-worming agricultural products. The techniques may include inducing an electrical charge in a shelled agricultural product. The induced charge, for example, a positive charge, may selectively favor lighter or less dense contaminants associated with the agricultural product such as worm material. As such, the agricultural product with worm material contaminant may be exposed to an oppositely charged mechanism such as a rotatable negatively charged electrode. Thus, the lighter positively charged worm material may be effectively removed from the agricultural product by temporarily binding to the oppositely charged mechanism.
