Automation of nut processing production is an important step in improving productivity and reducing costs. Automation refers to the replacement of human labor with equipment. The primary automation in nut processing is the installation of industrial nutcrackers, sorting, and calibration equipment. The second stage of automation is the installation of loading, unloading, and lifting conveyors, transport, and inspection belts.
The use of conveyors in the processing industry allows to increase labor safety and reduces the number of injuries at the workplace. Working with heavy materials that used to be done manually is now done automatically, reducing the risk of injury.
Conveyor equipment moves nuts between different stages of processing and ensures a uniform supply of raw materials, which reduces the risk of product contamination or damage.
Conveyors reduce labor costs and reduce the impact of the human factor on the production process.
Conveyors can be manufactured under standard equipment or according to individual sizes, with an enlarged hopper or equipped with a separate hopper with a vibrating feed. Conveyors with a standard belt are used to move the nuts in the shell. For moving nut kernels or other loose products that may release the oil, it is recommended to use a conveyor with a belt that has sides.
A conveyor with sides is the best option for large industrial enterprises that need to move a huge amount of nut kernels. Such a conveyor allows you to ensure a continuous and uniform process of movement, which ensures efficiency and time savings.
Depending on the type of product and the implemented quality systems in production, the conveyors are made of structural steel or food-grade stainless steel, and the belt in direct contact with the product can also be food or non-food.
For example, when working with the kernel of a walnut, hazelnut, coffee, or other finished product, at factories that work with the HACCP system, international standards ISO, IFS (International Food Standard), BRC or are engaged in exporting products to EU countries, conveyors and all other equipment in production, it is made from food materials.
