The green walnut peeling machine is designed to remove the fresh green husk from walnuts immediately after harvesting, with a normal processing capacity of 3.5–6+ tons/h depending on the model. The large 10-channel model can process 6 tons/h or more, while the 6-channel and tractor-driven models process around 3.5 tons/h. The machine uses a water-free dry peeling process and one-by-one feeding to reduce mutual squeezing between walnuts.
Its 45° stainless-steel inclined cutting blades simulate manual cutting, helping remove the green husk more thoroughly while reducing the need for water washing and pretreatment.
What Is a Green Walnut Peeling Machine?
A green walnut peeling machine, also called a walnut green skin removing machine, is used to remove the green outer husk from freshly harvested mature walnuts.
Unlike traditional methods that may require soaking or water washing, this machine adopts a fully dry peeling process. Mature walnuts can be processed after harvesting without requiring ethephon treatment or a 3–5 day soaking period.
The machine is especially suitable for:
- Large walnut processing factories
- Agricultural cooperatives
- Medium-sized walnut processors
- Walnut orchards
- On-site orchard processing


How Does the Walnut Husk Removing Machine Work?
The machine uses a multi-channel chain feeding system and inclined stainless-steel cutting blades.
Chain Feeding
Fresh green walnuts are placed onto the feeding plate. The machine uses 5 feeding chains, each with 19 cross-shaped baffles.
One-by-One Feeding
The 10-channel large model provides 10 independent feeding channels, allowing walnuts to enter the peeling area individually.
Instead of allowing walnuts to pile up and squeeze against each other, each walnut enters its own channel for processing.
Inclined Cutting
The machine uses 45° stainless-steel cutting blades. The inclined cutting structure simulates the cutting action of manual green husk removal.
The walnuts are continuously cut from the feeding section to the discharge section, helping separate the green husk from the walnut shell.
Green Husk Removal
After the cutting process, the loosened green husk is separated from the walnut, and the peeled walnuts are discharged from the machine.
Water-Free Processing
The entire peeling process is performed without water, eliminating the need for water spraying or washing during the peeling stage.


Why Choose Dry Green Walnut Peeling?
No Water Required
The machine adopts a dry green walnut peeling process, eliminating the need for continuous water washing.
This can help reduce:
- Water consumption
- Wastewater generation
- Cleaning requirements
- Operating costs
No Need for Ethephon Ripening
The machine is designed to process mature walnuts directly after they are harvested.
Instead of relying on artificial ripening and waiting for the green husk to loosen, mature walnuts can be sent directly to the peeling machine.
This can eliminate the stated 3–5 day soaking/waiting period, allowing faster post-harvest processing.


Green Walnut Husk Removing Machine Main Features
6–8 Tons per Hour for Large-Scale Processing
The 10-channel model has a processing capacity of 6 tons/h or more, with normal production reaching approximately 6–8 tons/h depending on the raw material and operating conditions.
This makes it suitable for large walnut processing plants and agricultural cooperatives.
One-by-One Feeding Reduces Squeezing
The machine uses independent feeding channels rather than the traditional round-pocket feeding structure.
The 10-channel design allows walnuts to enter the peeling section individually, reducing mutual squeezing during processing.
This helps provide more consistent peeling conditions for each walnut.
45° Stainless-Steel Cutting Blade
The 45° inclined stainless-steel blade design provides an efficient cutting action.
The cutting process simulates manual green husk removal, allowing the machine to cut the walnut husk continuously from feeding to discharge.

Completely Dry Peeling
There is no water involved in the peeling process.
The chain-channel feeding system replaces the traditional round-pocket structure, making the machine more suitable for dry processing.
This reduces water consumption and avoids wastewater generated by water-based peeling.
Direct Processing After Harvest
Mature walnuts can be fed into the machine after harvesting without requiring a long soaking process.
This allows processors to shorten the post-harvest handling period and process fresh walnuts more quickly.
Suitable for Different Processing Locations
Three models are available for different application scenarios, from large processing factories to orchard-based mobile processing.

Three Green Walnut Peeling Machine Models
We provide three machine configurations to meet different processing capacities and application requirements.
| Modelo | Feeding Channels | Drive | Capacidad | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large High-Efficiency Model | 10 channels | 2.2 kW geared motor | 6 tons/h or more | Large processing plants and agricultural cooperatives |
| Medium Practical Model | 6 channels | 1.5 kW geared motor | Around 3.5 tons/h | Small and medium-sized processing plants |
| Tractor-Driven Mobile Model | — | Tractor PTO | Around 3.5 tons/h | Orchard and field processing |
Large High-Efficiency Model
- Power: 2.2 kW geared motor
- Capacity: 6 tons/h or more
- Configuration: 10 independent feeding channels
Best for: Large walnut processing plants and cooperatives requiring high processing efficiency.
Medium Practical Model
- Power: 1.5 kW geared motor
- Capacity: Around 3.5 tons/h
- Configuration: 6 feeding channels
Best for: Small and medium-sized walnut processing businesses looking for a balance between capacity and investment.
Tractor-Driven Mobile Model
- Drive: Tractor PTO
- Capacity: Around 3.5 tons/h
This version uses a tractor as the power source and is suitable for orchard-based green walnut peeling.
The green husk can be processed directly in the orchard, allowing the waste material to remain available for agricultural use and reducing the need to transport large amounts of green husk.

How Does the Green Walnut Peeler Improve Processing Efficiency?
Traditional green walnut peeling can require considerable manual labor, water, and waiting time. The dry walnut peeling machine changes the process by combining:
One-by-One Feeding + 45° Cutting + Dry Peeling + Continuous Discharge
This provides several practical advantages:
Less Waiting
Mature walnuts can be processed after harvesting without the stated 3–5 day soaking period.
Less Water
The peeling process does not require water spraying or washing.
Higher Throughput
The large model can process 6 tons/h or more, with a normal capacity range of approximately 6–8 tons/h.
Reduced Manual Labor
Continuous mechanical cutting replaces much of the manual green husk removal work.
Flexible Processing
The three machine versions allow customers to select equipment according to processing capacity and working location.


Orchard Processing Without Transporting Green Husk
One of the most distinctive options is the tractor-driven green walnut peeling machine.
Instead of transporting freshly harvested walnuts with their green husks to a processing factory, the machine can be driven by a tractor’s PTO and used directly in the orchard.
The basic concept is:
Harvest → Orchard Peeling → Green Husk Remains in Orchard → Peeled Walnuts Transported
This can reduce the amount of material that needs to be transported and make on-site post-harvest processing more convenient.
