MacPortas

Due to the large growth of small farms in Natal and the Eastern Cape, there has been a big demand for small, portable Macadamia nut crackers.
The Nut Machine Company has seen this demand and has manufactured a small 220V portable nut cracker called the MACPORTAS.

This cracker can easily split into three pieces for loading onto a bakkie or SUV, the main body consisting of the rollers and sizer, the stainless-steel inlet chute and the stand.

The machine is extremely robust, built of mild steel and powder coated.
A stainless-steel hopper feeds the nuts into the cracker.

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 MacPortas can also be used as a sample cracker or for pre dispatch testing, recommended moisture content of 3%.
The cracker has a fixed built-in sizer the small side 16mm and large side 28mm.

Please make sure there is no rocks or sticks between nuts.
