The machine apparatus used in the splitting process includes a cylindrical body with a rotatable mandrel forming a ring into which a nut can be inserted According to various features of the machine pistachios are rotated, oriented, then split at their limits in the ring and discharged through housing openings A continuous-process is provided for processing, which includes a step of removing denser foreign particles from closed-shell nuts by flotation and a soaking step so that the shell of uncovered flours is saturated with water to impart such amount of shell flexibility If you don't, it will curve.
The shell is then dried and cut in the same manner as was done in the machine mentioned above.
Marketing requirements for pistachios in the United States generally require that nearly all nuts contain open borders.
Typically, 80 to 85% of the normal crop of pistachios is free borders plucked from the tree. But the rest of the nuts, which are commonly referred to as "closed shell" nuts, are only partially open or completely closed, making them difficult for the consumer to open anyway
As used herein, the term "seam" refers to the longitudinal seam of a nut. When the seam is opened, the seam splits into two halves around one end of the pistachio and most of the length in the long direction of the egg
Efficient and reliable methods were needed to uniformly split unopened or partially opened pistachios so they resemble naturally opened nuts Pistachio openers should be able to operate at high speeds and it is important that such tools do not crack the covering of unopened pistachios, except at seams.
The present invention provides a continuous process for processing and cracking closed-shell pistachio nuts, as well as a special cracking device that can be used alone or in combination with other methods and equipment of the invention. And the process can be used continuously.
According to an aspect of this invention, a device is provided for splitting closed pistachio nuts in a controlled manner that cracks longitudinal seams of nuts.
The machine has a cylindrical body in which a rotating mandrel is placed, forming an annular space into which a nut can be inserted are then discharged through the opening of the casing.
In addition to being a truly delicious treat, pistachios are among the most nutritious nuts around. Pistachio nuts are all natural, cholesterol free, high in fiber, low in saturated fats and NO transfats, and gluten free.
One ounce of shelled pistachios contains 10% of an adult’s needed daily intake of protein, without animal fats. There is more potassium and iron by weight in pistachios than in any other nut, fruit, or vegetable.

Processing Plants for Splitting Closed Pistachio Nuts
Another aspect of the invention at the pistachio processing plants is a continuous process of treating and splitting closed-shell pistachio nuts, which includes steps to remove denser foreign particles from the closed-shell nuts by flotation, and also provides a soaked step , such as uncovered pistachios The shell of the nuts is saturated with water to give such a degree of shell flexibility that when pressure is applied to split the shell at the seam, the shell bends rather than creaks and then the shell is dried and cut as was done in the aforementioned machine.
In this sequence the nuts are oriented so that pressure can be applied along the longitudinal seam of each nut causing it to split along the seam
In another aspect of the invention there is provided an apparatus for carrying out the method described, which includes an apparatus for separating closed-shell pistachio nuts from open-shell pistachio nuts A separator for removing denser foreign particles from the pistachio; a soaking device to provide the necessary flexibility to the shell; Drying means for ensuring proper rock surface conditions, and cracking apparatus according to the invention.
It was an object of the present invention to provide methods for effectively opening unopened pistachio nuts.
Another object of this invention was to open unopened pistachios quickly and efficiently along their seams so that mechanically opened nuts have nearly the same appearance and characteristics as those opened naturally during the growing process , and there was no evacuation.
Think of this device like an expensive vacuum cleaner. We can adjust the drying according to what needs to get out of the product.
This is the first machine that will go nuts in this building. This step is to remove any twigs, leaves, or epicarps that have not been washed on the husking plant.
These and other objects of the invention will be better understood by the accompanying drawings and the following invention
Trash Can
A lot of equipment is manufactured in the agricultural sector here. The dump truck was designed and built by Gordon Schwiers, son of George and Marian.
The wooden box is placed on the green frame by a forklift. Press the "reset" button and the green frame rotates and turns the wooden box upside down. The nuts drop into a hatched stainless-steel hopper.
The forklift operator can then place a steel hopper on top of the machine hopper to load the nuts into the machine.
Needle sorter
This barrel is packed with thousands of sharp needles. Inshel pistols insert into the rear of the rotating shaft.

As the eggs are rolled into the needles, the needles catch in the split of the shell.
Pistachios, which have no split shells, don't have to catch anything with the needle, so they roll in and out of the well Pistas caught in the needle are lifted onto the barrel, where a brush brushes them off the needles into a chute that directs them to a waiting container in front of the needle cleaver Thus, Eagle Ranch separates pistachios with split shells from those without split shells.
Nutmeg Color Sorter
This device is state-of-the-art technology. SORTEX Z+ is an optical sorter that simultaneously identifies rejected material by size and color.
This unique feature greatly improves productivity and efficiency. We can sort from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds. per hour with this machine.
Shell Color Processing
Inshel pistachios also go through a chromatography process. In the United States, the consumer likes "nice" food.
Even if we don't eat the shells, we still want them intact. This sorter will "see" the dots on the shell and separate those eggs from the rest.
The pistachios that are separated from the shell defect are sent to the shell to remove the shell and sold as nutmeg. Nuts that have been sorted to avoid cracking the shell (from a needle strainer) are also shelled and sold as nutmeg.
Manual Sequencing
These women are our ultimate quality control. The machines separate 98% of everything that we want to put in our bags does not meet the standard. Women are looking for the 2% who left the car. We call the carrier a "waterfall" carrier.
The nuts pass the first lady's inspection down the conveyor and eventually fall onto the second, lower conveyor belt. The eggs are inverted by falling so the other side can be seen. Thus, both sides of the actors are examined for errors.

Salt Roasting Plant
The desalination distillery at Eagle Ranch is the only one of its kind in New Mexico. Here, our pistachios are placed on a baking sheet and then placed in a "batch" roaster for preheating.
After preheating, the pistachios are poured into a rotating drum called an atomizer. Inside the atomic, high-pressure jets spray a fine mist of salt water for the salted eggs.
A heavier coating such as red pepper is poured over the nuts and worked while rotating the drum so that each nut is evenly coated
The mandrel 32 is held and positioned 33 within the cylindrical body 30 for rotation. The mandrel has a conical large diameter end 34 located near the bottom of said cylindrical body 29 and a smaller diameter end 35 near the top of said body . provide a conical ring 36.
The conical ring 36 is shaped and configured such that the pistachio nuts fed at the top thereof are oriented such that the longitudinal axis of said pistachio nuts substantially with the longitudinal axis of said mandrel at a point in said ring form is aligned where the maximum width of said pistachio nuts is less than said pistachio width of said ring, as a result of which the nuts will dart in the longitudinal direction along their seams.
The dimensions of the mandrel 32, thin ring 36, and outlet 31 are such that the machine effectively splits and discharges pistachio nuts of various sizes, with larger nuts split in the width of ring 36 and smaller nuts in the width of ring 36. the narrower part thereof, height of outlet all such parts overlaps, so that split actors will be unloaded.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the collective movement of the pistachio nuts within the coil 36 is facilitated by driving means protruding from the die to move the die in the direction of rotation 32 are inserted into the grooves 38 and engaged with the support insertion 39.
The inserts 37 act to push the pistachio nuts in a closed shell in the direction of rotation of the mandrel
The closed-shell pistachios enter through the feed chute 29 into the apex of the pistachio separator 13 , where they are radially distributed around the perimeter of the mantle 32 and fall by gravity into conical rings 35 as the pistachios arrive with flexible rubber.
In contact with inserts 37 they rotate in ring 36 and further down in ring 36 as their shape permits When nuts contact groove 41 they generally rotate about their diagonal axis to a position where the elliptical axis of pistachio nut substantially parallels the longitudinal axis of mandrel 32 Being in this position pistachio nuts rotate around their longitudinal axis to the widest point of the nut on the seam line is wedged between body and mantle, crack along the seam divides controlled cracking along the seam line facilitated by the flexibility of the pistachio nut shell provided by the different process described above.
There is no cracking randomly through the material of the shell, not the of the shell at the seam-junction.
The rare is then discharged and the split pistachio nuts are discharged through the discharge opening 31, then dried in the dryers 14 and subjected to the final separation in the separator 15
An added advantage of the invention is that inadvertently feeding free-shelled pistachio nuts in the split 13 will prevent a great number of nuts from being peeled
The invention may be implemented in other specific forms without deviating from its essence or essential characteristics.
Thus, the present embodiments are to be regarded as illustrative and not restrictive in every way, the scope of the invention is defined by the accompanying claims and not the prior description and therefore all modifications falling within the meaning and equivalence range of the claims must be included therein.
