ABSTRACT:
A lightweight feed chain for a high speed nutcracking apparatus and which is composed of a plurality of individual nut transport elements mounted in succession. The nut transport elements are block-like in configuration, and each element includes a nut receptacle extending laterally across the upper face which is sized to accommodate a single nut of a given size. The elements are formed of a high impact plastic material which has been found to reduce wear and breakage from contact with the nutcracking components of the apparatus, and to reduce the weight of the chain. Also the elements may be color coded, with each color indicating a particular size of the receptacle.
