New information on the Modern Electronics Pecan Cracker.
After pecans have been cracked, they are ready for shelling! The Modern Electronics Sheller agitates the cracked pecans so that the shell and nut meat are no longer clinging together. Once the shell and nut meat are separated from each other the mixture is discharged together into the desired bin or container. Improperly cracked pecans are discharged through the Override Chute.
Begin by pouring cracked pecans into the Pecan Sheller Hopper. Turn the Adjustment Handle to set the sheller ring space to the desired width, and then tighten the Jam Nut. Once the sheller ring space is set, close all guards and turn on the machine. The pecans will discharge out of the bottom of the sheller. Pecans that are too large to shell will fall out of the Over-Ride Chute. It is located at the adjusting end of the Pecan Sheller. The Paddle Shaft speed can be adjusted by moving the Motor Mount up or down. This causes the pecans to break up at a faster or slower pace.
The 18" Pecan Sheller requires relatively low maintenance. There are only five bearings that must be greased every year. Please note that if you have acquired a new 18" Pecan Sheller this maintenance schedule should only be followed after one year (one pecan shelling season). This is because these steps have already been performed at the factory. The parts of the Pecan Sheller that require maintenance are listed below:
These bearing locations are shown below in Drawing A-2.
The tools required for yearly maintenance are as follows:
The Modern Electronics Pecan Sheller product line comes equipped with Protective Guards. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE. Stop the Pecan Sheller before performing maintenance and before performing any other activities that will require removal of Protective Guards. Stop the machine before reaching into the Sheller with body parts (i.e. hands, fingers, etc.) or tools. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in severe injury or even death. Unless otherwise specified, before operating this machine, alert employees of safety guidelines. As always, common sense and direct and clear instruction will keep everyone safe.
Turn Adjustment Nut Clockwise to close rings and turn the Adjustment Nut counter-clockwise to open the rings.
Loosen the Clamping Nut and lift the Motor Mount up for faster speeds and lower the Motor Mount for slower speeds. Be sure to tighten the Clamping Nut after adjusting the Motor Mount.
