Due to the large growth of small farms in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, there has been a big demand for a small, portable Macadamia nut cracker.
The Nut Machine Company has seen this demand and has manufactured and developed a small 220V portable nut cracker called the MACPORTAS.
The cracker has a fixed built-in sizer, thus no pre sizing is required. The small side 16mm and large side 28mm.
The build-in sizer can be customized according to customer requirements.
This cracker can easily split into three pieces for loading onto a bakkie or SUV.
Each cracker has a Variable Speed Drive with forward reverse and a roller sizer.
A picking crate is placed under the cracker for collection purposes. (Can be adjusted if you require to hook an bag under cracker)
The main body consists of the rollers and sizer, a stainless-steel inlet chute and the stand.
The machine is extremely robust, built of mild steel and powder coated.
The Macadamia nut needs to be de-husked and free from any debris before placed into the MacPortas.
Re-cracking will occur with the first batch that is processed.
Recommended moisture content is less than 3%.
Please make sure there is no rocks or sticks between nuts.
