Feucht-Obsttechnik - Model L28/L38 -Walnut Washing Machine and Raw Shell Remover
Washing nuts and removing shells with a single machine. The walnuts are rotated freely in the rotary drum. The bars of the rotary drum are provided with small brushes and abrasive steel particles (humps) in order to remove the raw shells from the nuts. During the peeling operation a low-pressure water stream in the interior of the drum ensures gentle cleaning. The results are clean, high-quality nuts.
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.
