Mini MacCrackers

The Mini-MacCracker (Baby MacMartin) was developed to complement the MacMartin range, specifically for cracking macadamia nuts smaller than 14 mm, including non-cracks. It offers an efficient and reliable solution for processing smaller nut sizes.

Throughput Capacity

With a processing capacity of approximately 500 kg per hour, the Mini-MacCracker is ideal for small to medium-scale processing plants.

Robust Construction

The machine is manufactured from heavy-duty, powder-coated mild steel, ensuring durability, reliability, and low maintenance requirements in demanding operating environments.

Stainless Steel Components

All chutes and feeder pans are constructed from 2 mm stainless steel (304). For safety and hygiene, all moving parts and the vibrator feeder are fully enclosed within a stainless-steel enclosure.

Adjustable Sizer System

The built-in sizer and vibrator pan are fully adjustable via variable speed drives, allowing accurate control over nut sizing and cracking performance.

  • Minimum setting: cracks nuts from 12 mm to 16 mm
  • Maximum setting: cracks nuts from 13 mm up to 32 mm

Customization

The built-in sizer can be customized to suit individual customer requirements and processing needs.

Recommended Operating Range

For optimal performance, a sizer range of 13 mm to 28 mm is recommended.

Moisture Requirements

Best cracking results are achieved at a nut moisture content below 3%, with 1.5% being ideal.

1. Isolator
2. D.O.L starter for rollers
3. V.S.D. starter for the sizer
4. V.S.D starter for the feed pan
5. Stop/start buttons for manual operation and
6. Selector switch for sequence star
7. Run Trip lights for indication

*Capacity of machines may vary due to variety, quality, moisture content, feeding option used to inlet nuts, debris processed with nuts and style of nuts cracked/processed.

*Pre-Check and clean all machinery and conveyors before use and at regular intervals and ensure regular maintenance.

*No machines are guaranteed if foreign particles are processed with the nuts i.e., stones, sticks, bolts, nuts etc. (It remains the customers responsibility to make sure the nuts are clean)
