Pistachio Cluster Separator Machine

Pistachio Cluster Separator Machine (De-Clustering Machine)

The pistachio cluster separator (or de-clustering machine) is one of the most crucial pieces of equipment in a mechanized pistachio processing line. Its primary function is to separate pistachio nuts from clusters, leaves, and small branches before they enter subsequent processing stages. With its industrial design and precise operation, this machine significantly improves the speed, quality, and efficiency of the processing line.

Machine’s Position in the Processing Line

In industrial pistachio processing lines, the cluster separator machine is installed after the pistachio transfer elevator and before the rubber wheel dehuller. Its role is to prepare pistachios for the hulling process by removing impurities like clusters and leaves. This step is key to increasing the quality of the final product and reducing damage to subsequent equipment.

Machine Operation

• Initial Feeding: Harvested pistachios are fed into the cluster separator machine using an elevator.
• Separation Process: The machine uses mechanical and rotational mechanisms to separate clusters and leaves from the pistachio nuts.
• Outputs:
  • The separated pistachio nuts are directed to a dedicated outlet and proceed directly to the rubber wheel dehuller.
  • Plant residues (clusters and leaves) are transferred to another outlet of the machine and removed from the line.

Features and Benefits

• ✅ Increased Processing Line Efficiency: By accurately separating pistachios from clusters, less stress and interference are placed on other machines.
• ✅ Industrial and Durable Design: The machine body is constructed from stainless steel or moisture-resistant industrial steel, making it highly suitable for long-term operation in industrial environments.
• ✅ Smooth and Low-Noise Operation: The use of belt and gearbox power transmission systems results in less vibration and noise compared to similar models.
• ✅ Easy Maintenance: The engineered design simplifies cleaning and periodic servicing of the machine.
• ✅ Usable in Various Capacity Lines: Available in two capacities, 3 and 6 tons per hour, suitable for all types of pistachio processing terminals.
