As an important agricultural product, almonds are widely used in food processing industry. Nut slicing machine is one of the important equipment for processing almonds. Its main function is to cut almonds into even slices for making almond candy, almond butter and other products.

However, in practice, the moisture content of almonds often has an important impact on the working effect of slicer.

First of all, the moisture content of almonds directly affects its hardness and toughness. If the moisture content of almonds is too high, almonds will become softer and easily stick to the blade when slicing, resulting in uneven slicing and even blocking the machine. On the contrary, if the moisture content of almonds is too low, almonds will become too dry and hard, and they will be easily broken when cutting, and they will not form complete slices, thus affecting the quality of products.

Secondly, the moisture content of almonds will also affect the service life of the blade. Almonds with excessive moisture may increase the resistance of the blade and accelerate the wear of the blade during cutting. However, almonds with too low moisture content may cause extra impact on the blade because of too high hardness, which will also shorten the service life of the blade. Therefore, controlling the proper moisture content of almonds can not only improve the slicing effect, but also prolong the service life of the equipment.

In order to ensure the efficient operation of nut slicing machine, it is usually recommended to control the moisture content of almonds within a certain range. Specifically, the moisture content of almonds should generally be kept between 8% and 12%, which can not only ensure that almonds have proper hardness and toughness, but also avoid the failure of the machine due to excessive moisture or dryness. Before processing, the moisture content of almonds can be adjusted by drying or moderate humidification, so as to achieve the best state.

In a word, the moisture content of almonds has a significant impact on the working effect of nut slicing machine. In practice, controlling the moisture content of almonds reasonably can not only improve the quality of slicing, but also reduce the equipment loss and improve the production efficiency. Therefore, when using almond slicing machine, we should pay special attention to the moisture of raw materials to ensure the smooth processing.
