Pecan shelling machine TK series

automatichigh-capacityvibratory

Overview
The automatic pecan shelling machine automates the cracking and separation of pecans while maintaining high kernel integrity. It is intended for processors who need continuous, high-throughput shelling with adjustable settings for different nut sizes.

Operation workflow

• Step 1: Feeding — Pecans are loaded into a feeding hopper; vibration or a conveyor ensures even distribution into the shelling chamber.
• Step 2: Shell Cracking — Controlled pressure is applied via rollers or adjustable cracking plates to break shells with minimal kernel damage.
• Step 3: Shell Separation — Airflow and/or vibration separate shells from kernels for efficient cleaning.
• Step 4: Kernel Collection — Clean pecan kernels are collected into an output container while shells are discharged separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the shelling rate of an automatic pecan sheller? Most commercial machines achieve shelling rates above 90%, depending on nut quality and machine adjustment.
• Can the machine handle different pecan sizes? Yes. Adjustable cracking gaps allow the machine to process various pecan sizes.
• Does the machine damage the pecan kernels? Machines are designed to minimize kernel breakage; typical damage rates are usually below 5%.
• Is the pecan sheller easy to operate? Modern machines feature simple controls and require minimal training.
