Hazelnut Yield Testing Machine

A portable laboratory-type machine that cracks in-shell hazelnuts, extracts the kernels without damage, separates kernels from shells, and determines the hazelnut yield.

Intended Use

The Hazelnut Yield Testing Machine is a portable laboratory-type machine designed to physically crack individual in-shell hazelnuts and extract the kernels without damage. It collects shells, kernels, and the dust and fine particles produced during cracking in separate compartments, allowing the yield (kernel recovery rate) of a hazelnut crop to be determined.

Technical Specifications

  • The machine performs yield testing using 250 or 500 grams of hazelnuts.
  • Cracking time is approximately 2 minutes.
  • Hazelnuts are size-graded using an automated sizing screen before cracking.
  • The shell-cracking system uses metal and a special cast silicon carbide stone.
  • The machine can be adjusted to crack different hazelnut varieties with varying shell structures and physical shapes.
  • Separate collection compartments are provided for hazelnut kernels and shells.
  • The aspiration system can be adjusted according to the hazelnut variety (shell thickness).
  • The automation system uses the Arduino operating system.
  • The machine operates on 220 V.
