Hazelnut

Hazelnut from Field to Food, Feed, and Seed.

Hazelnut takes a long and detailed journey before it reaches your table. From planting and growing to harvesting and processing, turning this essential grain into food or beverage products requires significant time and effort. If you’ve ever noticed different types of Hazelnut on store shelves, the main distinction comes down to Hazelnut processing. After harvest, Hazelnut undergoes a series of processing stages that shape the final product.

HAZELNUT PROCESSING → Hazelnut Intake

Purpose: The ADDAMS Hazelnut Intake aims to receive, inspect, and transfer raw Hazelnut into the processing line in a controlled and efficient manner. It is the first step in the grain processing system and plays a critical role in ensuring the quality and traceability of the grain.

Key functions of ADDAM Hazelnut Intake Equipment:

  • Receiving – Hazelnut is unloaded from trucks, trailers, or containers into pits, hoppers, or conveyors.

  • Initial inspection and sampling – to check for moisture, foreign materials, and overall quality.

  • Pre-cleaning (optional) – light impurities like dust and chaff may be removed at this stage.

  • Weighing and documentation – for inventory management and traceability.

  • Feeding into the processing system – via conveyors, elevators, or storage silos.

Hazelnut intake equipment ensures a consistent flow of raw material, protects downstream equipment, and serves as a critical control point for quality assurance.

Equipment: * Intake Pit (with or without Aspiration System).

  • Intake Active Belt Conveyors.

  • Chain Conveyor or Screw Conveyors.

  • Grain Containers.

  • Big Bag off-loading Crane.
