/ rmspeltz Need to crack a large quantity of nuts fast, this industrial beast will do it for you. We have made it to the big leagues and this hard shell nut cracker can do it
Well, I'm happy for you that you're pleased with this nutcracking machine, but what I really wanted to know was more about the mechanics, how you would adjust for other nut sizes, your percentage of whole halves of cotyledons versus small fragments, and how you separate the shells from the nut meat after the machine has done its job. Also, you should consider a more careful and detailed look at the product of the machine, as it was too brief and too out of focus to really understand what the product looks like.
Hi!!!, I wonder if your machine is really capable to crack pecan properly , I already spent a few thousand on a machine and not completely satisfied, thanks
It looks like a lot of work sorting out the fragments? I wish you had showed and talked about the pieces more. It looks like still a ton of work separating the smashed fragments?
Make sure your daughters tie their hair back when working around these machines. Their hair needs to be in a bun tightly secured on top of their head. Such machines will pull hair and loose clothing into the machine. Also install a kill switch.
Have you tried using salt water to dump the mix into? The right specific gravity of salt water would allow hulls to sink and nuts to float, in theory......
we have used it for pecans and works good for the larger ones, the smaller ones can slip through and not get cracked the newer model of this machine allows cone adjustment and that I am told really help with the softer nuts
Did anyone notice that this machine mill the wallnuts into small pieces...that means very low grade,low quality nuts....the cracked wallnut should be "butterfly like" ...two big pieces from each nut,not 22 small pieces...
Its hard to show but we get half pieces of meat most of the time, I say 75% the other 25% are quarters and pieces. The next generation of these is being made adjustable now to handle wider variety of the nut meat for commercial usage and I image that would allow one to change it for the size the walnut more that one uses. In our case there is no reason to upgrade since we are only doing about 400 to 600 hundred gallons of nuts a year=)
