DRYER FOR INSHELL WALNUTS

A dryer is an equipment designed to dry inshell walnuts after harvesting, washing or cleaning the green pericarp. Drying of walnuts is a necessary step in the walnut business because the quality of the kernel and the storage time of the walnut in the shell depend on it. Advantage of Walnut Dryer: Dries the entire batch of nuts evenly thanks to the nut stirring system; Prevents nut spoilage – wet or unevenly dried nuts quickly become moldy; Does not spoil the quality of the nut – drying in the sun can cause the kernels to darken; Cost effective – energy saving system reduces heating time and costs; Shorter drying times compared to natural drying under the sun; Autonomy – does not require human participation in the drying process; Compactness – takes up little space; Ease of operation – one person is enough to load and control the dryer. Principle of operation: the nut is loaded into the hopper using the loading conveyor and the required heating temperature is set.
