This offer ends in:
The WW288 processes walnut shell separation at bench scale for artisanal confectionery and specialty bakery operations. The unit handles controlled cracking of walnut varieties with adjustable pressure settings to preserve kernel integrity. Operators use it for small-batch ingredient preparation where kernel quality determines final product value.
Commercial Application
This table provides a stable working surface for manual nut cracking stations in small production environments. The 1200x600mm work area allows operators to position cracking tools, collection trays, and raw material bins within arm's reach. The walnut-finish surface withstands repeated contact with tools and shell fragments during batch processing.
Bakeries and confectionery workshops use this station during ingredient preparation shifts before mixing or coating operations. The 750mm height suits standing work for sustained periods. The metal frame supports the weight of filled collection bins and processing equipment without flex.
Key Operational Advantages
- 1200x600mm working area accommodates cracking tools and collection trays

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What nut varieties can be processed on this work surface?
A: The table supports manual cracking of walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and almonds. Surface durability suits shell fragments and tool contact. Operators change collection trays between nut types to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: What is the processing capacity per hour on this station?
A: Output depends on operator skill and cracking tool used. Typical bench cracking rates are 3–8 kg of shelled kernels per hour. The work area allows positioning of multiple collection trays to separate kernel grades during processing.
Q: How does the surface handle kernel damage during cracking?
A: The wooden top provides a stable base for controlled pressure application. Operators place a protective mat or tray under the cracking tool to prevent direct surface impact. The table does not include built-in cracking mechanisms; it supports manual tool operation.
Q: Can the table be adjusted for different shell hardness?
A: The table provides a fixed-height work surface. Operators adjust cracking tool pressure settings, not the table itself. The frame holds steady during high-pressure cracking operations without rocking or shifting.
Q: How is the surface cleaned between nut batches?
A: Wipe the wooden top with a damp cloth and food-safe sanitizer between batches. Remove shell fragments and kernel dust with a soft brush. The powder-coated legs clean with standard kitchen surface cleaners.
