ABSTRACT:
An in-shell nut sorting and debris removal assembly for removing debris including empty shells and sorting out unacceptable in-shell nuts includes multiple spaced belt sorting assemblies to removed materials having desired size characteristics and send them into a collision chamber where the materials are subjected to air current to promote collisions between the materials. An inclined or angled separator screen mesh permits the upward air flow and sorts the materials by density as the collisions occur within the collision chamber. Upper and lower openings are used to remove the density sorted materials from the collision chamber. The lower opening is further divided to sort excessively dense materials such as rock from materials having the desired density characteristics.
