| LMC Gravity Separator and Aspirator –
removes any foreign bodies which are of
less weight than the nuts / fruits.
Further aspiration removes any
remaining
very light pieces of foreign matter
including fibres, possibly from the
original packaging.
BEST Twin Laser Scanner with colour
sorting, glass detection – rejects any
remaining foreign objects such as
stones, nutshells, wood, metal, plastic
and most significantly pieces of
glass.
This line has been designed so that raw
materials can either:-
(a)pass through all 3 processes, which
will be the case for most items, or
(b)pass directly to the laser scanner
The whole system has been designed to
handle the products as gently as
possible to reduce the amount of broken
and split nuts. In fact the gravity
separator removes 90% of broken nuts,
nibs, etc. It is capable of running at
up to 5 tonnes per hour, but we have
found that the optimum level is around
3
– 3.5 tonnes per hour.
The system is totally enclosed with
dust
extractors taking the dust to an
outside
bin, to ensure the product remains as
clean and as dust free as possible.
We made many trips to Machinery
Manufacturers in Europe in order to
find
the best equipment available for this
very important procedure. Numerous
on-line trials were conducted on
different operating systems, but we
were
convinced that the BEST TWIN
laser-sorting machine is far superior
to
any of the other alternatives.
We clean most nuts such as Peanuts,
Hazelnuts, Almonds, Pecans, Brazils,
and Cashews.
LMC Destoner and Aspirator – takes out
stones, mud balls and any items heavier
than the actual nuts. The
Aspirator removes bits of nut skins,
hairs, dust and any lightweight
objects.
