chestnut line + easy hull

The machine consists of four main sections made of AISI 304 stainless steel:

product loading unit, made through a vibrating surface on which the product to be processed is deposited
engraving unit, designed to make a circular incision useful for detaching the peel and the underlying film
scalding unit, realized through a tank containing boiling water in which the product is passed for an imposed time in order to make the peel explode

transfer belt produced from the scalding tank to the manual shelling bench
The previously washed product is discharged into the loading hopper which, with its vibrating movement, conveys the chestnuts one at a time to the engraving machine, where a special blade system makes a small and adjustable circular depth cut on the shell. Once the incision has taken place, the chestnut continues its journey by falling into the scalding machine, where it is parked for the desired time through a rotating basket, and then falls onto a conveyor belt which pushes the chestnut onto a sorting bench where the operator with a manual operation separates the two skins from the fruit, then unloading each in its container.
