Dryer for walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds in shell (4 tons/day)

A dryer is an equipment designed to dry in-shell walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds after harvesting, washing, or peeling the green pericarp. Drying of walnuts is a necessary step in the walnut business because the quality of the kernel and the storage time of the walnut in the shell depend on it.

Advantages of Dryer for nut crops:

• Dries the entire batch of nuts evenly thanks to the nut stirring system;
• Prevents spoilage of nuts, which occurs due to excessive moisture of nuts;
• Does not spoil the quality of the nut during the drying process, as it maintains the correct temperature regime, drying occurs evenly and without the influence of external factors, such as sunlight and high humidity;

• Economical – the energy-saving system reduces heating time and costs;
• Shorter drying time compared to natural drying in the sun;
• Compactness – takes up little space;
• Autonomy – does not require human participation in the drying process;
• Ease of operation – one person is enough to load and operate the dryer.

The dryer is recommended to be equipped with a loading conveyor for automatic feeding and loading of walnuts into the dryer hopper.

Principle of operation: the nut is loaded into the hopper using the loading conveyor and the required heating temperature is set. Unloading can take place directly into bags or onto a conveyor through the unloading compartment.

Importantly! Dryer without a conveyor. If necessary, the dryer can be equipped with a conveyor or a loading and unloading system.
