Macadamia Shelling Machines

Macadamia shelling machines handle the two jobs that follow cracking: separating kernel from shell, and keeping that separation fast enough to match the cracker. Kernel left in contact with shell chips and breaks, so a separation step that lags behind the cracker wastes the whole-kernel rate you just protected.
This range covers both ends of that job:
NS-X221 Standard — a benchtop shell remover that cracks hard shells and extracts kernels from a wide range of nuts. Suits small and medium processors who need flexibility across nut types.NS-X222 Heavy Duty — a fully automatic stainless-steel peeling line with continuous feeding and discharging, also suited to pecans. Built for plants running continuously rather than in batches.
If you are still working out which step you actually need, the distinction matters: shelling and cracking are not the same operation, and buying the wrong one is expensive. The article how to improve macadamia kernel recovery walks through the full sequence. For sizing help, tell us your nut type and target throughput. These machines assume the batch has been dried correctly \u2014 see nut in shell moisture content: the 1.5% target. If you are not yet sure which stage you need, shelling vs opening machines explains the difference between the two operations in one page. Grading is the cheapest lever on whole-kernel rate: read sorting kernels: manual vs machine grading for where hand sorting wins, where it stops working, and the four numbers that settle the decision. One thing most plants learn late: nut processing machine maintenance is mostly a record-keeping exercise – the five-minute start check, the weekly drift check and the log that makes a setting repeatable.
