Turnkey nut processing complex for sale, complete with a full production line and equipment
Ринки 22.09.2026 18:50
An operational set of nut processing equipment is offered for sale—from initial cracking and cleaning to calibration, sorting, and drying of the kernels. The complex is equipped with everything necessary to operate a full production cycle and may be of interest to both existing processors looking to expand their capacity and entrepreneurs considering launching a virtually “turnkey” nut business.
The cost of the complete equipment set is $27,000.
The core of the production line is a unit with a capacity of 60–80 kg per hour, priced at $15,000. It includes an impact nut-cracking machine, a small aspiration unit that removes up to 15% of impurities, a vertical conveyor, a finishing cracker with millstones, a large aspiration system for primary cleaning that removes up to 80% of debris and shells, and two conveyor sorting tables.
The owner has extended the large conveyor table to facilitate manual sorting of the product. On the small table, nut crumbs are separated from the remaining shells.
To increase productivity, the line has been supplemented with a vibrating hopper for uniform feed of raw materials, costing $1,000.
Another unit costing $1,500 includes a vibrating hopper to separate shells from unsplit nuts and an additional large-capacity dust collection system. Afterward, the unsplit nuts can be fed to a separate machine for re-cracking, costing $1,000.
For product sorting, the set includes a calibrator with 5 mm, 13 mm, and 19 mm mesh sizes—$1,000
A kernel drying unit with a capacity of up to 200 kg per load is also provided. The set includes the drying unit itself and a heat gun. The cost of the equipment is $500.
A distinct advantage of the complex is the virtually unused refrigeration unit costing $4,000, which allows for the proper storage of finished egg yolks and helps maintain product quality.
For waste processing, there is a machine costing $500 that can grind the eggshells into a fine powder. This makes it possible not only to reduce the volume of production waste but also to treat the eggshells as a separate product for further use or sale.
Along with the main equipment, the buyer receives a substantial set of production supplies with a total estimated value of approximately $1,500. This includes two scales, a hydraulic pallet jack, about 150 plastic crates, 40–50 pallets, two containers or devices for transferring products, bags and consumables, ties, lubricants, fasteners, cables, a spare motor for the drying blower, a capacitor for the calibrator, tools, and other small items necessary for operation.
Additionally, the package may include a drying unit for nuts in shells valued at $1,000. It is currently located at the supplier’s—a fruit grower. This equipment also offers an additional commercial benefit: the supplier uses the dryer and, in return, sells the owner of the complex a harvest of premium-grade nuts. Thus, along with the equipment, it is potentially possible to retain the existing relationship with the raw material supplier.
If necessary, the cost can be reduced to $25,500 by excluding the in-shell nut dryer and the shell crusher from the deal. The rest of the equipment forms a single integrated production line and is necessary for full-scale, well-coordinated processing.
In fact, the buyer receives not a set of individual machines, but a complete production chain: raw material feed → cracking → vacuum cleaning → secondary cracking → sorting → grading → drying → storage of finished kernels.
The complex is suitable for processing your own harvest, purchasing nuts from farms and orchardists, producing kernels for wholesale and retail sale, as well as for further development of shell processing operations.
The price of the complete complex is $27,000.
Optimized configuration: $25,500.
The main line’s capacity is 60–80 kg/hour.
The kernel dryer’s loading capacity is up to 200 kg.
