In the process of long-term storage, walnuts lose moisture, especially if the storage rules are not followed. Therefore, in the spring, the walnut becomes drier and more brittle, which complicates the process of obtaining a whole kernel. It is important to consider this when planning processing.
Beginning in March, nut processors begin to work on volumes, rather than focusing on obtaining a whole kernel. To crack the nut into small fractions, the gaps on the nutcrackers are reduced and a walnut breaker is used. A well-crack nut is much easier to sort on sorting equipment and does not require manual cracking and sorting. This is how entrepreneurs reduce labor costs, automate and speed up processing.
In order to work on obtaining a whole kernel all year round, it is necessary to choose a nut that has been collected and stored correctly. This is possible only if you have your own orchard or if you carefully check the nut when buying.
Another feature that appears on the nut market in the spring is a decrease in nut volumes. This can lead to an increase in the price of the product and a decrease in its availability. Therefore, if you are engaged in nut processing, it is important to keep track of the prices and availability of raw materials on the market in order to purchase the necessary quantities of nuts in advance and maintain the high quality of the product.
In general, walnut processing in the spring has its own characteristics, which are related to changes in the quality of raw materials and the market situation. To obtain a quality product and ensure high profitability of nut processing, it is necessary to take into account all these factors and use the correct processing and storage technologies. This will allow you not only to maintain the quality of the product but also to increase the efficiency of your business.
