Nuts Breaking and Shelling Plant
A nuts breaking and shelling plant covering intake, sizing, cracking and shell separation for in-shell nuts, supplied as a plant rather than a single machine so each size band is cracked at its own setting.
Shell thickness varies within one delivery of the same crop, and that variation is the reason a single-setting cracker either leaves nuts whole or crushes the kernels. Pre-sizing, cracking per band and recirculating the uncracked fraction is how a plant keeps whole kernel recovery high, and whole kernel recovery is the number the economics rest on. The plant can be specified for peanut, almond, apricot kernel, palm nut or mixed duty. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your nut, intake volume and target recovery and we will lay out the plant.
