ABSTRACT:
This invention is to an improved pecan shucker apparatus for shucking pecans, and particularly for obtaining pecan meat halves that are intact and easily freed of the undesirable parts of the pecan, such as the pecan shell and other inedible parts of the pecan. The pecan shucker is suitably supported and has attached thereto a reciprocating actuator for moving a pecan along a longitudinally disposed axis of the apparatus. A plurality of circumferentially arranged roller assemblies are arranged for the rollers thereof to be radially moved towards one another and into engagement with the outer surface of a pecan nut which may be placed therebetween, while exerting a compressive force on the pecan shell of a magnitude to crush the shell at selected areas thereof. Consequently, after the pecan shell is crushed, and the blade passed lengthwise between the halves, the pecan meat halves are shucked from the broken shell and emerge undamaged and are easily freed of debris.
