Hazelnut processing | Hazelnut harvesting
Hazelnut growing: Success with knowledge, experience, and mechanisation
We are your contact partner for the processing of hazelnuts.
The production of hazelnuts and other small-scale fruits demands a lot of effort and time. Mechanisation of hazelnut processing is therefore essential from an economic point of view.
We have years of experience and knowledge in the optimisation of nut production through innovative technologies. Therefore, we are able to create machines for individual process steps or complete mechanisation chains and successfully incorporate them into hazelnut processing.
Harvesting small-scale fruits efficiently and carefully
Harvesting
The harvesting of small-scale fruits is associated with high physical strain and is also extremely time-consuming. In order to automate and facilitate the harvesting process, hazelnut vacuum extractors can be used to extract various forest fruits, chestnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, olives, etc. or attachments can be used.

Removing earth, small twigs, and leaves from the hazelnuts
Cleaning
After the hazelnuts have been harvested, the nuts have to be cleaned of residues. For this, special hazelnut cleaners which remove twigs, leaves, earth and empty shells using an air stream are suitable. Clean nuts are an ideal requirement for the further processing.

Sorting hazelnuts according to size and cracking the shells
Calibrating & cracking
In order to get to the core of the hazelnut, the hard shell must be removed. The hazelnuts are broken with a nut cracking machine. A prior calibration is recommended to achieve a very good cracking result with whole nuts.
