ABSTRACT:
Edible nuts, such as peanuts, may have their skins slit prior to blanching by means of a machine disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a pair of cooperating rolls which carry a stream of nuts one by one between a pair of cutting elements which slit the nut skin from end to end. The nuts are fed from a vibratory feeding tray which includes a quickly adjustable feed dispenser for controling the rate of flow according to the size of the nuts being processed. A lever actuated cam controls the flow and the lever position may be aligned with levers of other similar machines arranged in a row in the processing plant. The gap between the rolls which carry the nuts between the cutting elements is also quickly adjustable by means of a lever to accommodate the machine to the size of the nuts being processed. The lever extends outwardly for alignment with levers on similar adjacent machines. A removable waste collection and nut guide chute is also provided for a quick and easy cleaning.
