What percentage of the total mass of the walnut does the shell make? Thanks for the video.

@vgod00 It depends on what variety of walnut you are talking about. A good cracking variety such as Chandler has a thin shell and can be as low as 45% shell mass. However, we have tested some walnuts from central Asia that are as much as 60% shell. We usually estimate it to be 50% shell and 50% kernal by weight when sizing our equipment.

How much does this Medium Walnut Shelling Line costs?
DutarTash 1 year ago
@DutarTash For just the equipment shown in this video it would be about $400,000 to $500,000 USD. That does not include the building and does not include electronic inspection. The electronic inspection alone could cost another $400,000. However, it would take the place of 20 people.

Amazing video! Thank you very much!
What percentage of the kernel is obtained in the output product? Or what percentage of the kernel is lost along with the shell? Is the final product graded according to the sizes of the kernel?

@qqqquito Even with all the separation this machine does the kernals still need to be inspected by human eyes to get all the shell out of the kernal. Even the high speed laser/camera sorters need to have human eyes do a final inspection. Our shelling line doeas a great job of cracking and separating MOSTof the shell from the kernal and producing a majority of halve kernals.
