For the highest quality in blanched peanuts, choose the blanchers that are No. 1 in the world: A.C. Horn & Co.’s 341-B Split Nut Blancher or the VB-5000 Split Nut Blancher. They remove the skins & hearts from dried or fully roaster peanuts for the smoothes, cleanest nuts possible – absolutely no traces of worn edges anywhere. You can choose between up to 2,000 pounds per hour or 5,000 lbs per hour of roasted or dried peanuts. The product can be blanched free of meal & with less shrinkage than any other blancher on the market. Operation is simple & reliable. The blanchers first split the nuts & remove the skins; the hearts are then removed from the halves. Screening separated the halves from the hearts, and aspiration totally removes the skins from the process. Dependable features like a trouble-free adjustable feed hopper & a dual-aspiration system allow you to process nuts for peanut butter, candy and similar products with maximum efficiency.
