ABSTRACT:
A nutcracking apparatus (50) has a tube (56) dimensioned and configured to allow nuts to be propelled along the tube (56). An opening (58) spaced circumferentially around the tube (56) is angled to direct air along the propelled direction of the nuts. A blower (62) is connected to supply sufficient air to the openings (58) to create suction for pulling a nut into the tube (56) past the openings (58) and then to push the nut through the tube (56) after it has passed the openings (58). The nuts are propelled against a rotating impact roller (70), which cracks each nut and moves the cracked nut out of the path of the travel to prevent interference with a succeeding nut. Air from the tube (56) propels the nut shells through outlet (72) of chamber (68), while the nut meats are deposited on screen (74).
