Almond and apricot kernel blanching solution
Efficiently remove hulls from blanched almonds and apricot kernels to streamline your nut processing line, enhancing product quality with reduced maintenance through integrated washing and cleaning operations.

Removes Hulls and Blanches Nuts Efficiently
The Almond and Apricot Kernel Blancher from Maseto is a robust, reliable piece of equipment specifically engineered for nut and snack food industries. It utilizes a mechanical friction technique to efficiently detach hulls from kernels, followed by a compressed air system for cleaning. This continuous operation machine supports high-speed processing with capacities ranging from 500 to 3500 kg/h, making it suitable for large-scale almond and apricot kernel production. Designed for seamless integration into existing production lines, the blancher offers optional washing phases to enhance the appearance and cleanliness of the final product. Constructed with durable materials, it stands up to rigorous industrial conditions, while offering easy maintenance and reduced downtime.
