Manual Walnut Peeler
About the Practice
Cracking walnuts manually is a slow and tedious process with low output, the maximum it can get is10 kg/h. It is also injury prone at times, since the shell of cracked walnuts may fly This machine can complete the entire process of cracking walnuts with an increased efficiency. Walnut cracking is a seasonal activity. Therefore, if all available walnuts could be cracked in the limited time available, season could br well capitalized.
Detail:
Cracking walnuts manually is a plodding and tedious job with low output (maximum 10 kg/h). Innovator thought of developing a machine that could mechanize this process relieving in drudgery involved of doing it manually for hours.The machine was originally designed to crack walnuts but Mushtaq found it suitable for peeling green walnuts as well. Green walnuts are difficult to peel manually and in the process the skin also gets irritated and sometimes it even flakes off. An improved model of the machine has been developed recently using food grade aluminum rollers for smoother impacting action. The motor RPM has been reduced to increase the efficiency and reduce damage to walnuts of different sizes. The novelty lies in a motorized machine that will crack the walnuts automatically in such a way that it’s useful fruit could be separated easily which is otherwise done manually.
