CRACKER DLO 120ER

The cracker DLO 120ER is intended for cracking hazelnuts, almonds with a hard shell and walnuts. The best cracking results are achieved if the nuts are previously sorted with a sorting machine. In this way, due to the uniform size of the nuts, kernel breakage is minimized and about 98% of the nuts is cracked.

The cracker DLO 120ER differs from the cracker DLO 120E by the lower number of drum revolutions due to the use of a reducer instead of pulleys and by a larger basket. Less rotation gives the DLO 120ER an advantage over the DLO 120E when cracking hard-shelled almonds and walnuts. The nuts can be poured in the same way as in the cracker DLO 120E or it can be poured into the wider part of the basket and the nuts slowly dosed manually into the drum. Slow dosing is especially important when cracking walnuts, because walnuts added in large quantities enter the drum unevenly and become intertwined and occasionally blocked due to the rough surface of the walnuts and the size of the walnuts. With slow dosing, the walnuts enter the drum evenly and are cracked better with less breakage.
