Feucht-Obsttechnik - Model L15/L20/L25/L36 -Walnut Washing Machine
Washing and cleaning walnuts. After the harvesting, the collected nuts should be cleaned of small branches, earth, leaves, and raw shells. The washing machine for nuts is equipped with a rotary drum including stable steel bars. By using water jets in the rotary drum, an efficient cleaning is achieved. We offer various models and sizes according to the extent of the walnut harvest.
The washing of the nuts is a decisive step for the further processing of high-quality nuts. By washing the outer nut shell, adhering loose fibres or threads, slime and other organic material are removed from the nut shell. This prevents the growth of any micro-organisms. This means that a high quality of nuts can be guaranteed.
An additional step before the washing is the separation of stones and the removal of raw shells from the nuts. At the beginning of the harvest season, the fresh walnuts are mostly harvested with their raw shells. In order to attain an optimal washing result, the raw shell should be carefully removed from the walnut.

- contains special nut brushes for clayey soils
- removes harvest residues from the structure of the nut shell
