ABSTRACT:
In separating pecan meats according to weight, removal of acceptable pecans along with lighter, unacceptable pecans is obviated by avoiding the increased vacuum on acceptable pecans which occurs when an unacceptable pecan restricts a vacuum duct used for such separation. In one embodiment, positive and negative fluid pressures are utilized in concert to avoid such a restriction.
