Nut cracking and removing shells

Separate the nut cores from the shells.

The cracking of nuts by hand is often a time-intensive process. Automatic, manually operated nut crackers are therefore suitable for smaller amounts of walnuts. Mechanised nut crackers, such as our hand cracker WAL MAN, simplifies the cracking of nuts tremendously saving time and money.

Our hand cracker WAL MAN is available in two versions. The nut crackers differ in capacity. With the help of the WAL MAN, up to 90% of the nuts are cracked in the first cracking pass. The hand cracker can be expanded with a shell remover. Thus, cracking and the separation of core and shell is combined.

The nut cracker WAL MAN SMALL is suitable for small households with smaller harvest amounts of nuts. The nuts are pre-sorted into 3 size classes. Then, the adjustment plate is adjusted to the nut size. The nuts of the respective size are then filled in the fill container.

The nuts are sorted into 3 sizes. Then, you set the inlet of the cracker to the corresponding nut size and lay the nuts in the filling container. Then you have to crank to crack the nuts. Due to the long gripper this requires only a minimum of force. You get a clean cracking result and can remove the cracked nuts from under the cracker. Thanks to its low weight, the WAL MAN can be easily transported. The WAL MAN is also available with drive or electric motor.
