Abstract: A bean sprouts processing apparatus includes a feeding section, a treating section and a separating section arranged in sequence substantially in a horizontal manner. The feeding section includes a receptacle for receiving un-processed bean spouts therein and a conveyor for conveying the bean sprouts to the treating section. The treating section has a sprout tray movably supported on a base with a shaking device arranged between the sprout tray and the base to shake the sprout tray relative to the base so as to separate husks from the sprouts and to break roots of the sprouts and also move the sprouts and the separated husks and broken roots toward the separating section. A cooling device is optionally mounted on the base of the treating section to lower the temperature of the sprouts down to about 3.degree.-5.degree. C. The separating section has a sprout support plate movably supported on a base to receive the sprouts from the treating section.
