The macadamia nut cracker is a specialized nut processing machine designed for the automatic opening of closed-shell macadamia nuts. By precisely cutting the natural shell seam without damaging the kernel, this machine significantly improves the commercial value and processing efficiency of macadamia nuts.
With two available models and an adjustable opening angle of up to 200° or 330°, this automatic macadamia nut cracking and slitting machine is suitable for both medium-scale processors and industrial nut processing plants.
Applications of the Macadamia Nut Cracker Machine
This macadamia nut opening machine is widely used in:
- Macadamia nut processing plants
- Nut snack production factories
- Export-oriented nut grading and packaging facilities
- Food factories handling closed-shell macadamia nuts
It is designed specifically for unopened or partially opened macadamia nuts, helping processors maximize yield, product appearance, and market acceptance.
Common processed materials include:
- Macadamia nuts
- Hawaiian nuts
Working Principle of the Macadamia Nut Opening Machine
The macadamia nut cracker machine uses a mechanical cutting and positioning system:
- Macadamia nuts are fed evenly into the slitting zone
- The machine automatically aligns each nut
- Precision cutters slit the shell along the natural seam
- Opening depth and angle are adjustable according to processing requirements
This process ensures:
- Controlled shell opening
- Minimal kernel damage
- Uniform and consistent opening results
Macadamia Nut Cracking Machine Models
Model 1: Standard Pneumatic Macadamia Nut Opening Machine (TZ-180)
The Cost-Effective Choice for Small to Medium Batches
This model utilizes a pneumatic (air-operated) system combined with mechanical control to perform a straight slot cut on macadamia nuts.
- Power Supply: 220V single-phase
- Mechanism: The mold conveyor holds nuts firmly while a blade cuts a precise slot
- Capacity: Up to 50 kg/h (100 jin/h)
Model 2: Advanced Servo Ring-Cut Macadamia Nut Cracker (TZ-320)
The Industrial Choice for Premium Presentation
This fully automatic macadamia nut slitting machine uses a hybrid electric-pneumatic system driven by a high-precision servo motor. It is capable of ring cutting (circular opening), providing a cleaner appearance and easier manual opening.
- Smart Control: PLC touch screen with automated programs
- High Power: 380V three-phase 3kW motor + 1.95kW dual servo system
- Adjustable Opening Angle:
- TZ-180: up to 200°
- TZ-320: up to 330° (near full-circle cut)
- Capacity: Up to 90 kg/h (180 jin/h)
