Aspiration system for nut processing
Streamline your nut processing with precise removal of skins, dust, and lightweight particles to enhance your end-product quality, ensuring purity in every batch.

Extracts Dust and Particles from Nuts
The Aspiration System from Maseto is engineered to efficiently extract skins, dust, and light particles from various nut and snack products, ensuring enhanced product quality and purity. Utilizing a cyclone depressor, the system separates impurities with precision, making it an ideal choice for food processing lines in industries such as nut processing and snack production. It accommodates a wide range of end-products, including almond flour, cashew butter, and pistachio gelato, with a processing capacity of 100 to 4000 kg/h. Designed for continuous, high-speed operations, it integrates seamlessly into pre-processing and cleaning stages, contributing to streamlined production flows. Optional features include a rotary cell for automatic emptying, which enhances operational efficiency. Constructed to minimize maintenance downtime, the system is built from durable materials suitable for handling solid and granular types, ensuring long-term reliability and compliance with industry standards.
