TREENUTS
C.I.H. Breda is committed to delivering systems and equipment that helps tree nut processors achieve
maximum processing capacity and efficiency for their dollar. Our machines are designed specifically to
maximize processing speed along with separation effectiveness. What makes C.I.H. Breda unique is
the staff of tree nut specialists that can design, build, deliver, and install an entire tree nut processing
operation.
C.I.H. Breda offers the following equipment specifically designed and engineered for tree nut processing.

• Sizing Shakers
  Used for scalping (sticks and hulls) and sifting (fines such as dirt and meal); also used for sizing
  operations.
• Stoners
  Used for removal of large stones, dirt clods, and glass in the precleaning stages and precision
  small stone removal in finishing circuits.
• Prehullers
  Used to remove loose hull in the precleaning stages to increase capacity and storage space in following stages.
• Roll Feeders
  Used to regulate flows and evenly distribute product flow across processing equipment.
• Vibratory Feeders
  Used to evenly distribute product flow across processing equipment.
• Hard Shell Crackers
  Used to create hairline fractures in hard shells for easier meat removal.
• Shear Rolls
  Used to separate hulls and shells from meats with a shearing force.
• Aspirators
  Used to separate lights (shells and hulls) from heavies (inhull, inshell, and meats) based on aerodynamic profile.
• Elevators
  Used to gently elevate products.
• Vibratory Conveyors
  Used to gently convey products.
• Gravity Separators
  Used to separate lights from heavies based on density
• Accumulators
  Used in the meat circuit with the gravity separators to provide more precise density separation and increase plant capacity.
• Brining Systems
  Used to brine (water-salt solution) the product before roasting.
• Nut Roasters
  Used to dry or roast products
