How it works

Complete Walnut Process Flow

Raw Walnut Handling

Raw walnuts (with shell) are received and fed into the processing system.

Material Handling SystemsFeeding Systems

Ensures smooth and continuous input.

Cleaning & Destoning

Walnuts are cleaned to remove dust, stones, and foreign particles.

Ensures:

  • Product purity
  • Protection of machinery
Conditioning / Moisture Adjustment

Walnuts are conditioned to achieve optimal moisture for cracking.

Conditioning SystemHumidification Setup

Ensures:

  • Reduced kernel breakage
  • Better shell separation
Cracking / Shelling

Walnuts are cracked to separate the shell from the kernel.

Walnut Cracking MachineShelling Machine

Ensures:

  • Controlled cracking force
  • Maximum whole kernel recovery
  • High efficiency
Kernel & Shell Separation

Shell fragments are separated from kernels.

Ensures clean kernel output.

Drying (IF REQUIRED)

Kernels may be dried to achieve desired moisture level.

Ensures:

  • Extended shelf life
  • Prevention of spoilage
Grading & Sorting

Walnut kernels are graded based on size, color, and quality.

Grading MachineVibratory GraderColor Sorter (Optional)

Produces:

  • Whole kernels (premium grade)
  • Half kernels
  • Broken grades

Directly impacts market price.

Quality Inspection

Final inspection ensures premium product quality.

Inspection Conveyor
Bulk Packaging (WHOLESALE OUTPUT)

Processed walnut kernels are packed into large bags or cartons for supply to wholesalers.
