Our patented, hand made machines, measure 54”
tall, 28” long, 26” wide, and weighs around 150 lbs. They are
constructed of industrial grade materials, and mild steel that has
been primed and painted with an out door oil based paint. A regular
120-volt outlet powers a gear motor that turns a tapered rotor
inside a cage that can be adjusted with a hand jack for multiple
size pecans. Once the machine is set for the over all average pecan
in the batch, it can crack over 100 lbs an hour with an 80 % + shell
out of halves. This of coarse is based upon the freshness of the
pecans being cracked. Very little maintenance is required in that
once a year the bearings may need some grease. The Auto Feeder feeds
the machine consistently, but also aids in the cleaning process by
allowing dirt & debris to fall out prior to cracking. Both pieces of
equipment can fit into a truck bed and can be used for mobile
cracking. The machine sells for $3000. The auto feeder sells for
$500. The entire setup sells for $3350.
Each
machine comes with 4 industrial grade casters with locking brakes.
This means that you can move the machine very easily.
