ABSTRACT:
A nut cracker is comprised of a closed loop orbiting conveyor system that lifts nuts from a hopper and individually deposits the nuts into a nut receptacle upon passing through the upper summit of the orbit path. A positioning air cylinder, actuated by a sensor conveyor system contact with a sensor switch, securely positions and stresses the nut within the receptacle against a cracking system wherein a cracking air cylinder, actuated by the cracking system, thrusts its rod outwardly striking a cracking dyes which in turn cracks the nut. The nut is then gravity deposited into a collection bin.
