Bentwood Dining Chair - Light Walnut| TurcoBazaar GS90003LE

Q: Which nut varieties can the GS90003LE process?

A: The unit processes walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, and similar hard-shell nuts between 15 mm and 35 mm diameter. Operators adjust pressure settings based on shell thickness and kernel fragility. Soft-shell varieties may require lower pressure to prevent kernel crushing.

Q: What is the processing capacity per hour?

A: Capacity ranges from 40 to 60 nuts per minute depending on shell thickness and operator feeding pace. A single operator typically processes 2,400 to 3,600 nuts per hour across mixed nut varieties. Actual throughput depends on kernel inspection and sorting workflow integration.

Q: What is the typical kernel damage rate?

A: Kernel damage occurs in 5-10% of units when pressure settings match shell thickness correctly. Operators reduce damage by testing pressure on sample batches before full production runs. Harder shells like walnuts show lower damage rates than thin-shell almonds at equivalent pressure.

Q: How do operators adjust pressure for different shell types?

A: A pressure dial on the cracking mechanism controls gap width between steel plates. Operators test five sample nuts, adjust the dial, and verify kernel condition before processing full batches. Adjustment takes under two minutes between nut variety changes.

Q: What cleaning is required between different nut types?

A: Stainless steel contact surfaces wipe clean with damp cloth between nut batches. Full wet cleaning with food-safe detergent is required when switching between raw and roasted nuts or when processing allergen-sensitive varieties. The 6 kg unit weight allows lifting for deep cleaning access.
