Hazelnut cracking processing line

The Hazelnut Cracking Processing Line is an advanced production system specifically designed for hazelnut cracking. By seamlessly integrating key components such as the elevating machine, hazelnut opening machine, and discharge conveyor, this production line achieves an efficient and automated hazelnut processing workflow.

From lifting the raw hazelnuts to the precision opening of the shells to the smooth conveyance to subsequent processing stages, the Hazelnut Opening Processing Line not only enhances production efficiency but also reduces labor costs, delivering outstanding productivity and quality improvements to the hazelnut processing industry.

Key advantages of hazelnut cracker processing line

1. Precision in Cracking: The hazelnut cracker within the processing line is engineered for precision, ensuring a clean and effective cracking of hazelnut shells. This precision minimizes waste and enhances the yield of intact hazelnut kernels.
2. Consistent Quality: Automation and precision in the processing line contribute to consistent quality across batches. This is essential for meeting quality standards and ensuring that the end product meets consumer expectations.
3. Customization and Flexibility: The hazelnut cracker processing line is often designed to be flexible, allowing adjustments to accommodate different hazelnut varieties, sizes, and processing requirements. This adaptability makes the line suitable for various production scenarios.
4. Enhanced Food Safety: The processing line is designed with food safety standards in mind. Automated processes reduce the chances of contamination, and the equipment materials are often chosen for their hygienic properties, ensuring the safety of the final hazelnut products.
5. Integrated Process Flow: The hazelnut cracker processing line is typically integrated with other equipment, such as sorting, washing, drying, and packaging machines. This integrated approach ensures a seamless and efficient flow of hazelnuts through the entire production process.
6. Cost-Effective Operation: While there may be an initial investment in setting up the processing line, its cost-effectiveness becomes evident over time due to increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and minimized wastage.
7. Market Competitiveness: The consistent quality, efficiency, and automation of the hazelnut cracker processing line contribute to the competitiveness of the processed hazelnuts in the market, meeting consumer expectations and industry standards.

Working principle of hazelnut cracking processing line

Initially, hazelnuts are soaked in warm water at around 50 degrees for 30 minutes to soften the shells. Subsequently, the hazelnuts are poured into an elevating machine, entering a storage bin with a screw conveyor that evenly distributes them into different channels. The production line is equipped with a steam generator that produces steam within the channels. At the end of the channels, two pressing plates achieve the cracking effect through compression. The cracked hazelnuts automatically drop onto the conveyor below.

The hazelnuts, after being cracked, can optionally proceed to a subsequent drying machine to remove excess moisture. Finally, the opened and dried hazelnuts can be directed to a packaging machine for packaging.

The entire production line, through a coherent series of processes, accomplishes the automatic opening and initial processing of hazelnuts, enhancing production efficiency. Additionally, the flexibility of the line allows for the inclusion of steps such as drying and packaging based on specific requirements.

Supporting equipment of hazelnut cracking processing line

1. Soaking Tank

The soaking tank is a crucial component of the hazelnut cracking processing line, featuring a heating function. This machine is designed to soak hazelnuts before they enter the processing line. The soaking process aims to soften the shells, making it easier to open the hazelnuts.

The soaking tank is typically equipped with a temperature control system, allowing adjustment of the water temperature to ensure an ideal soaking environment. This contributes to enhancing the cracking effect and creates optimal conditions for subsequent processing steps.

2. Drying Machine

The drying machine is one of the auxiliary devices in the hazelnut cracking processing line. After hazelnuts have undergone the cracking process and primary processing steps, the drying machine is employed to remove excess surface moisture, improving the quality and texture of the hazelnuts.

This machine uses hot air to ensure the hazelnuts reach the desired moisture content. The use of a drying machine helps extend the shelf life of hazelnuts, prevents mold growth, and enhances the overall quality of the final product.

3. Packaging Machine

The packaging machine is the terminal equipment in the hazelnut cracking processing line and is responsible for packaging the opened and dried hazelnuts. Packaging machines are designed with high levels of automation and flexibility to accommodate various specifications and packaging requirements.

Effective packaging helps ensure hazelnuts remain fresh and hygienic during storage and transportation, ultimately enhancing the market competitiveness of the product.
