The TB19B is a manual hand-crank nut cracker designed to separate shells from kernels across multiple nut varieties. It processes pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and filberts at a rate of 2 kg per minute. Operators in confectionery workshops, artisanal bakeries, and nut processing farms use it for batch kernel extraction.
Commercial Application
Commercial nut processors require consistent kernel extraction without excessive breakage. The TB19B addresses this through an adjustable cracking mechanism that accommodates variations in shell thickness and nut size. Operators load the upper compartment with up to 400 grams of mixed nut varieties, then adjust the pressure setting to match the shell hardness of each batch.
During ingredient preparation, the unit sits on a work surface while one operator hand-cranks the mechanism. Shell fragments exit separately from intact kernels, reducing manual sorting time. Processing capacity of 2 kg per minute supports daily production volumes typical of specialty food operations and small-scale confectionery ingredient prep.
Key Operational Advantages
- Processes 2 kg per minute with manual hand-crank operation
- 400-gram upper compartment capacity for batch loading
- Adjustable pressure mechanism accommodates pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and filberts in single production run
- Metal construction handles repeated daily use in commercial prep environments
- Separate shell and kernel output reduces post-processing sorting time
- Manual operation eliminates electrical supply requirements in any workspace

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which nut varieties does the TB19B process effectively?
A: The unit handles pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and filberts. Adjustment mechanism accommodates shell thickness variations across these varieties. Operators recalibrate pressure settings when switching between nut types within the same production day.
Q: What processing capacity does the TB19B achieve per hour?
A: Manual operation delivers 2 kg per minute under continuous use, equating to 120 kg per hour with sustained hand-cranking. Practical hourly output averages 80-100 kg when accounting for batch loading and adjustment between nut varieties.
Q: How does kernel damage rate compare to automated crackers?
A: Manual pressure control allows operators to adjust force per nut variety, reducing breakage compared to fixed-pressure automated units. Typical intact kernel yield reaches 85-90% with proper adjustment for each shell type.
Q: How quickly can operators adjust between different shell hardnesses?
A: Adjustment mechanism requires 15-20 seconds to recalibrate between nut varieties. Operators turn the pressure dial clockwise for harder shells like pecans, counterclockwise for softer hazelnuts. No tools required for in-service adjustment.
Q: What cleaning procedure is required when switching between nut types?
A: Operators brush out shell fragments from the cracking chamber and wipe metal surfaces with food-safe sanitizer. Full cleaning cycle takes 3-5 minutes between batches to prevent cross-contamination of allergen-sensitive nut varieties.
