An improved apparatus for blanching nuts, particularly peanuts, is provided wherein nuts are fed onto a conveyor belt by a single feeder means which carries them against a diagonally positioned nut engaging means that has a nut discharge end which extends beyond the edge of the conveyor belt. The nuts are rotated by the simultaneous forces of the conveyor belt and the nut engaging means, during which their skins are removed. After the nuts traverse the width of the conveyor belt against the nut engaging means, they are deposited into a collecting hopper at the side of the conveyor belt, where they await the next stage of preparation. |
