Almond and apricot kernel blanching solution
When processing almonds or apricot kernels, the removal of the interior hull is essential for achieving a clean and high-quality end product. Traditional methods can be time-consuming and result in uneven detachment of the hulls.
Efficiently detach and clean kernels
The Almond and Apricot Kernel Blancher by Maseto is engineered to detach the interior hull from kernels using mechanical friction. After blanching, the product passes through three phases where rollers contact the kernels to remove the hull, which is subsequently eliminated by a compressed air system. An optional fourth phase washes and whitens the peeled fruit, enhancing appearance and easing cleaning and maintenance. The blancher is capable of processing between 500 and 3500 kg/h, making it adaptable to various production scales. This equipment is particularly beneficial for operations focusing on nuts like almonds and apricot kernels where efficient hull removal and product appearance are critical.
Benefits
- Enhanced product appearance
- Reduced maintenance with optional washing phase
- High processing capacity of 500-3500 kg/h
- Effective hull removal with mechanical friction
- Minimal additional cleaning required
