Hand-Cranked Nut Cracker

The cracked nuts drop down to a tray beneath (tray not included – but any baking tray or similar container will work fine). Weighing approximately 7kg, the unit is portable, but is best operated when bolted to a stable surface.

Heavy-duty design uses 3mm crushing plates and is suitable for cracking nuts of various sizes and shell strength, particularly walnuts, hazelnuts and soft-shelled almonds. This cracker is not suitable for macadamias, as the shells are too hard. 

The unit traps and cracks the nut between the revolving crushing plate and the fixed plate. It is supplied with spacers that are held in place on the shaft by a linchpin. By removing or adding the spacers, the distance between the two crushing plates can be adjusted for the size of the nut being cracked. Two thinner spacers are supplied for a finer adjustment, if required. 

Requires minimal maintenance. Apply a small amount of oil occasionally to the shaft to keep in optimal condition.
