Split peanut blancher for snack food processing
When processing peanuts for snacks like peanut butter and candy, ensuring the removal of skins and hearts while minimizing shrinkage is crucial for achieving high-quality products.

It processes between 2,000 to 5,000 lbs/hr, ensuring the nuts are smooth and clean.
