Results for “HIgh-efficiency Chestnut Shelling Machine”

A high-efficiency chestnut shelling machine that removes the hard outer shell from chestnuts, with versions that also take off the inner pellicle, delivering a clean kernel for roasting, pureeing, freezing or canning.

Chestnut is harder to shell than most nuts because the kernel is soft and the inner skin clings to it, so a machine designed for a dry hard-shelled nut tends to crush the chestnut instead of opening it. This unit is built around the chestnut specifically, usually combining a scoring or cutting action with mechanical or thermal shell removal. Whole kernel recovery is the measure that counts.
