Aspiration column is a unit for separating shells, partitions, dust and debris from walnut kernels. It speeds up the walnut processing process and increases the quality of the kernel at the output – the kernel is clean, without debris, dust and pieces of shell. Vibration feed eliminates the need for constant manual feeding of nuts, so the worker can service other units while the aspiration column is in operation.

Advantages of an aspiration column with vibration feed:

• The equipment separates the nut kernel from the shell as efficiently and quickly as possible.
• Autonomy – replaces manual labor by 80% (depending on the quality of the nut).
• Versatility – easy to adjust for cleaning other crops due to the adjustable air supply power.
• Ease of operation – even one person can handle the column.
• The vibration feed completely eliminates the need to manually place the nut in the column.

The principle of the column: chopped nuts are poured into the hopper and started, the vibration feed feeds the nut into the column, the shell and other debris are separated and sifted from the nut kernel by a powerful air flow. The kernel is moved to a container for further sorting by size, and the shell, debris and small crumbs are moved through a pipe to another container.
