An apparatus for husking nuts, in a continuous manner without causing damage to the shell and the kernels thereof, the apparatus having a conveyor drum which includes double-spiraled, transporting rib members radially arranged about the conveyor drum, whereby the nuts received therein are forced progressively in a twisting action against a stationary plate member and a plurality of spring-biased, husking fingers, at which time, the husk material is thereby separated from the shell of the nut and allowed to discharge between the drum and stationary plate member, while the remaining nut shell, together with the kernel therein, is transported to be discharged separately at one end of the apparatus.
