Other Nuts Processing Equipment

Nuts from Field to Food, Feed and Seed.

Define the incoming other nuts material before selecting equipment: in-shell product, shelled kernels, broken pieces and ground material require different assessments. Specify moisture condition, impurities, throughput, acceptable breakage and final grade. Confirm cleaning, sorting and any shelling or size-reduction duty using representative samples; cleaning alone does not establish food safety.

Related ADDAMS Equipment and Other Nuts Processing Guides

For inspection and sorting of suitable nuts or kernels, review Hand Pick Selection Belt Conveyor and Optical Color Sorter. Use the cracking guide and de-shelling guide to separate shell-opening requirements from downstream sorting. Confirm the nut, shell state and finished-product criteria before selection.
