technologist - so that he knows the entire production process.

and first of all, sane staff.

Well, in principle, you understood correctly, now everyone is faced with the task of purchasing high-quality raw materials, purchasing it from private yards is not so high quality and it works.

I'm interested in this too

The problem lies in the fact that all these machines are designed and configured to process ONE variety of nut, and there are about 12 varieties of nut growing in Ukraine.

Ukrainian walnuts are very different in both size and shell hardness, which makes the use of imported machines economically unprofitable.

Such machines will turn your nut into dust, suitable only for the production of nut butter.

Considering the cheap cost of human labor, especially in the regions, it is much more profitable to organize manual nut processing.

The disadvantage of such production is a large staff and theft, but the advantages outweigh the high quality of the final product (and therefore the selling price) and a lower percentage of waste, and this is also money.

Again, if something doesn't go well or you don't like it, you just fire people and forget about the nut. With equipment, especially for equipment, it is more difficult, it is almost impossible to sell it, because what you understood today, others understood yesterday, namely that a machine for a nut is a waste of money.

Everything I wrote is just a personal opinion and a little experience in this business.

Will it be profitable to buy a mini processing line? walnut, if I have 1-2t. There are no more nuts in stock. Or is it better to start processing manually, and only purchase it when volumes increase?

And also, can someone at least describe in general terms the + and - mechanical divisions and divisions into factions?

And also, can someone at least describe in general terms the + and - mechanical divisions and divisions into factions?

In Ukraine there are 5 thousand small walnut processors, 500 medium-sized and 50 large. Large and medium-sized ones have their own harvest points from intermediaries, who, in turn, collect nuts from the population. In Ukraine, industrially planted nuts are just beginning to bear fruit, mostly - 90% - planted in forest plantations or on private farmsteads. Therefore, I would not get involved in small-scale processing if you do not know where you will get the raw materials.

Nowadays, many people are looking for what kind of business to start. There are many general options. Can be traded, produced, processed, etc. In general, there are many directions, but few specific ideas. Many people do not trust the ideas of outsiders. Some people search and add their own to them.
Here's one idea. Read on, you might want to take a chance and give it a try. As they say, “if you don’t try, you won’t know.” This idea is not universal, it will not suit everyone due to certain third-party factors. Perhaps, based on it, you will come up with something that suits you personally.
The idea is simple. Business with minimal investment. It all depends on how much work you can or want to do. This directly depends on the class of equipment and the number of clients.

If this article interests you and you decide to take a step, then I want to give advice. You need to start small, don’t immediately aim for grandiose achievements.
And so, the idea is to process walnuts. Surely, when you came across advertisements, and when you heard offers to buy a nut, you had questions, “why?” and “what should I do with it?” I'll give you short description what is the essence of this business.

This market is developing and in demand. Walnut grains, that is, shelled walnuts, are bought by confectionery companies, packaged and sold in stores at quite high prices. Its export to Europe has also been established. In every region there are people and companies that buy nuts, from small entrepreneurs who buy nuts, in villages to large companies that grow them. But they process them and extract grain units. The work is painstaking, many do it manually, and it is long and difficult. But we now live in an age of high technology, where manual labor replace machines that facilitate and speed up the production process.

We briefly figured out the essence. Now let's move on to a description of the work process itself.

First, about material and labor costs.

An industrial nut cracker costs from $1,000. Of course, the more expensive the nut cracker, the more and better it can crack the nut. I don’t recommend models that cost more than $2,500; you simply won’t be able to use their full power right away. The principle of industrial nut crackers is simple (a frame on which everything is mounted, a body with 2 milling shafts, an electric motor and a container for pouring nuts). As you can see, everything is simple, there are no particular difficulties with its operation and maintenance. In more expensive nutcracker models, the processing process is more automated and the mechanism is much more complex.

To begin with, you will need preferably a heated non-residential space, since you will have to work from the beginning of autumn, and if you find many clients, then until the end of winter! if you have private sector, then it’s good, you’ll save on renting the premises. If you rent a room, it must be spacious, because you will need to store raw materials somewhere.
To work, you will need from 3 to 5 people, depending on your volume, of course. The nut cracker does not peel the nut on its own, but only breaks its shell, so manual labor is still required. Only expensive models clean the shell themselves.

Now about receiving finished products and estimated income.
The simplest nut cracker can process about 100 kg/h. This is the most difficult thing to process. Separating the shell is not difficult and quick.
According to average data (depending on the quality of the nut), the yield is 1 kg of grain from 3 kg of unshelled nut. Therefore, discuss this issue with the client in advance. If the nut is of poor quality, it is better to underestimate the product yield ratio.

Payment for finished products fluctuates around 0.5 dollars per kilogram. It all depends on the quality of cleaning. If you have a lot of “butterflies” (that’s half a nut), the price will be higher. The lowest paid grain is considered to be grain that does not even have whole “quarters”. Therefore, by processing the 6th tone, which is a little less than two weeks, you will recoup the costs!
Walnut shells are also in demand, but are cheap. If customers do not take it from you, then the shell can either be sold or used as fuel for the boiler.

Of course, you can buy nuts yourself, process them and sell them. The cost of one kilogram of nuts in purchase fluctuates around 1 dollar/kg. The nut is purchased from the population, so you will need truck and accordingly additional fuel costs will arise. You can sell the finished grain for $5/kg. But at the same time, companies that purchase grain are looking for suppliers who can supply at least 1 ton of grain per week. The income is of course solid, $2000 per ton. The difficulties and inconveniences lie in the fact that there are many people who want to buy nuts, and purchasing them will take a lot of time and money.

Based on all of the above, recycling is a more profitable business. You don't risk your cash, you do the work and get paid for it. Your costs are minimal and quickly recouped.
Consider this idea, good luck!

Ecology of business. We can talk endlessly about beneficial properties nut A useful product is in wide demand, has a decent price, and with such a profitable product it is not difficult to build a profitable nut business.

Nut business

Initial investment: 350 rub.
Monthly profit: 500 tr.
Payback period: 1 season

There are about 30-40 populations of nuts on the globe. Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, peanuts (groundnuts), coconut and pine nuts are the most common types that are best known to us.

The existence of nuts has been known since the Stone Age. They contain microelements, vitamins, easily digestible proteins, carbohydrates and amino acids necessary for human health. We can talk endlessly about the beneficial properties of nuts. A useful product is in wide demand, has a decent price, and with such a profitable product it is not difficult to build a profitable nut business.

The plan for this business is quite simple -buy in bulk different kinds, peel, fry, package in beautiful packaging and sell the finished product.

Income can be 30% or more.

First you need market research . Nuts are widely used in cooking, so it is advisable to arrange delivery to confectionery shops, cafes, restaurants and other catering establishments.

You can also supply goods to markets, you can discuss the supply of packaged nuts to shops and supermarkets in the city, or you can organize your own outlet or your own online store. If you plan to develop your business on a larger scale, then it is possible export walnuts to Europe, where the demand for it is about 100 thousand tons per year.

Making money from walnuts

Let's consider the costs and payback of the walnut business. There may be three options: selling collected free-growing wild nuts, selling nuts purchased at a low price from the population, or selling your own grown nuts. As you know, walnuts are not frost-resistant, so they grow mainly in the southern regions of Russia, therefore, it is recommended to purchase or grow walnuts there. As further development business, you can consider purchasing in Central Asia or Ukraine.

Often walnut trees grow on their own along roads or in a nearby forest. You can harvest from them yourself or with the help of local residents by advertising in the local newspaper and organizing a collection point. The average wholesale price of unshelled walnuts when purchasing is 50 rubles per kg.

The price depends on the abundance of nuts in the region and can be much lower. Next you need to free them from the shell. This can be done like on our own, and attract neighborhood boys who want to earn extra money to this activity. To get 5 kg of peeled nuts, you need to process about 10 kg of unshelled nuts. The price of nuts in supermarkets in winter ranges from 150 to 350 rubles. per kg, i.e. on average - 250 rubles.

Payback of walnuts

Let's make some simple approximate calculations:

Let's say you purchased 100 kg of nuts for 50 rubles. They paid 15 rubles for cleaning the shell. per kg. We spent 500 rubles on packaging. In total, all costs amounted to about 5000 + 1500 + 500 = 7000 rubles. The yield of the purified kernel was 50 kg, which was sold for 350 rubles. Thus, from 100 kg the income is 11,500 rubles.

If you work yourself, the profit will be greater. Walnut kernels can be sold raw or roasted. Here you should take into account additional investments in purchasing a frying oven, but the price for fried kernels will increase significantly. The sale of shells and membranes can also bring additional income. pharmaceutical companies, beauty salons.

If you want to work for long term perspective, you have financial start-up capital, then consider possibility of planting a walnut orchard. Investments in planting a garden were made per 1 hectare. Plowing the land - 6,000 rubles, preparing planting holes - 3,000 rubles, purchasing 100 pcs. seedlings - 30,000 rubles, transportation costs for delivery of seedlings and their planting - 2,500 rubles.

Watering and caring for seedlings per year costs about 15,000-20,000 rubles. It is necessary to take into account the costs of renting land and protecting the site. Starting from the age of 5, the costs of protecting seedlings can be reduced due to its irrationality. The need for protection will be only 2-3 months a year during the fruiting period.

Trees begin to bear fruit around the 3rd year, but in full force - in the 5th-6th year. From 100 seedlings you can expect 2-4 tons of nut harvest, depending on the variety of seedlings and natural conditions. Every year the yield will increase by about 20%. The amount of harvest will be significantly influenced by climatic conditions - during frosts, some of the flower stalks die, which affects the fruit set. Profit from walnuts is guaranteed for decades.

Pine nut

Pine nuts are not only tasty, but also very healthy. Cedar oil, oleoresin, is considered a panacea for many diseases in folk medicine. Organization own production involved in the processing of pine nuts into kernels, can become interesting and profitable business, bringing the owner a stable income.

Payback of pine nuts

If the southern region of Russia is optimally suited for the walnut business, then the north is optimally suited for pine nuts. These “tough nuts” do not have to be grown; mother taiga is rich in them, and they are classified as wild plants. Local residents go to the cedar harvest in September and, before the first deep snow, collect pine cones, shell the nuts from them and sell them in bulk to entrepreneurial buyers. If you decide to collect cedar cones yourself, you will need to purchase a forest ticket, which allows you to collect up to 50 kg free of charge, and above - 3 rubles. per kg.

Counting on making money from pine nuts, you can go two ways: buy pine cones, process them and deliver clean nuts to wholesalers, or you can go further - fry pine nuts, package them and sell them, or peel them to obtain a kernel, and sell the pine nut kernels themselves.

Technological process

The collected cones are crushed in a special peeling device in small batches. Crushed raw materials are placed in bags or containers.

Large debris is removed using vibrating trays using the shaking method. Next, the raw materials are processed in a winnowing machine.

The nut, completely cleared of debris, is calibrated to a diameter of 0.5 - 0.8 cm in a sieve classifier and is sent for peeling, or shell collapse. Peeling is the most labor-intensive and scrupulous process, because its main task is to keep the kernel intact. Only use of modern high-tech equipmentwill allow you to get a core of excellent quality.

Devices for processing cedar cones.

When organizing a small enterprise, you can do without purchasing a powerful line, but will buy a simple device - a machine for processing cedar cones. It performs almost the same functions, but has less productivity, about 150 kg. Such equipment costs about 57 thousand rubles.

For home business You can make a peeling unit yourself. There are many simple circuits manufacturing such a device.

Processing 50 kg of cones (about 1 bag) will cost 30 rubles.

Cost estimates (average figures; in each region they may vary in one direction or another depending on your entrepreneurial spirit):

Renting premises - the price is purely individual;
purchase of cones - 2,000 rubles. per bag;
purchase of a plant for processing pine cones into nuts - 50,000 rubles;
service for processing cedar cones (if you do not have your own equipment) - one bag (50 kg) of cones - 25 rubles. Keep in mind that losses after processing are no more than 3-5%;
drying chamber - from 270 thousand rubles;
vacuum packaging machine - 45,000 rubles;
The cost range for ready-made, assembled workshops for processing pine nuts per kernel is from 1.5 million rubles. up to 11 million rubles depending on productivity per shift;
price for 1 kg of unshelled pine nuts - 350 rubles;
the price for 1 kg of peeled cedar kernel is 800-1000 rubles.

Documentation:

Required documents for the lesson entrepreneurial activity on nuts: registration individual entrepreneur, certificates of conformity of product quality.

Options for business areas:

We all think that the pine nut is a completely useless fruit that is not good for anything. However, if you think about it, it can have many uses. Its processing allows us to obtain high-quality oil, which is in great demand. And if you set up the production of this oil, you can promote your business well, because competition in this niche is minimal. To produce cedar oil, you will need a special press and filters, the total cost of which is about 450,000 rubles. You will also need a bottling (dosing) device and containers.

Summarize:

So, the purchase of equipment for processing pine nuts will cost about 370 thousand rubles. During the season, profit can reach 500 thousand rubles, so the initial investment can be recouped in the first season and make a profit.

Whatever business plan you choose, remember that the business will definitely be profitable only if it followsmain competitive advantages : control of constant product quality, bright packaging design, as wide a range as possible (fresh, roasted nuts, different types in packaging of various weights, etc.). published

Walnut, how healthy it is, how many nutrients it contains. Everyone loves nuts without exception. The walnut is popularly called the tree of life, and this is without exaggeration. For a long time, he fed, restored strength and treated people.

But people have not always thought about walnut processing in the context of a business idea; today’s article will be devoted to this very topic. Let's start with the fact that not everyone understands how nuts can be processed. What can be done with them, in simple terms. I think that each of you in your life has at least once heard or seen an advertisement for the purchase of nuts, and many of you have asked yourself “why do they need this?”

The essence of this business?

Walnuts are in great demand. The walnut is shelled, then the clean walnut grains are packaged and sold at fairly high prices. That is, it is very profitable business, it is widely appreciated in European countries. In all cities there are people who buy nuts from villages. And there are also the largest companies that grow nuts, but only extract grains. This is very hard work, previously it was done manually, but technology has made great strides forward and now machines do the work for people.

Say what you like, but in every business there is how positive sides, and negative. And now we will look at them. What are the pros and cons of processing nuts?

Processing nuts begins with the need for the nuts themselves, where to get them? Can you grow it yourself? It will take many years to grow a tree, and only after about five years the tree will bear its first fruits, but you should not expect that it will bear many fruits at once. This method takes a lot of time. And the task of any businessman is to invest less money and time and get more. So we conclude that purchasing nuts is more promising than growing them.

How to process nuts?

Processing is chopping nuts and extracting grain; this can be done in two ways: the first is by hand. What does manual mean? The fact that this is very time-consuming means that workers also need to be provided with tools. The income will be small. But we cannot allow this, so production uses special equipment - nut crackers, but it should be noted that such equipment does not clean the grains from the shell, so human labor will still be needed. But in this case, much less labor will be involved, approximately three to five people out of fifteen that would be needed for manual cleaning.

Of course, there are nut crackers that crack nuts and clean grain, but such equipment costs from two thousand five hundred dollars.

Business income is one of the main factors. If we calculate, then from about three kilograms of unshelled nuts we get one kilogram of grain. If we talk about one shift, then it is worth noting that in one shift workers get one hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty kilograms of peeled nuts. On average, the enterprise earns two hundred thousand rubles per month. Since on average one kilogram of peeled nut costs one dollar. In addition, the price of nuts depends on whether the grains are broken or not. “Butterflies”, half a nut – more expensive. And also very big role plays the variety of nut.

So we gradually approached the topic of buying machines, the main thing here is not to make a mistake. Of course, it is better to enlist the support and knowledge of specialists, since there are different nut crackers, some of them are designed to process only one variety. It would be a very unpleasant story if, due to your inexperience, you bought nut crackers, but they didn’t fit, or worse, they broke. In addition, buying a machine for one type is very unprofitable, since one industrial nut cracker costs from a thousand dollars, and we are talking about investing the minimum and getting the maximum. You also need to know that the simplest nut cracker can only process one hundred kilograms of nuts in an hour.

Probably everyone has already thought about where to put the shell? We also have an answer to this question: not only the nut grains are in demand, but also the shells, but they are cheaper. Walnut shells are one of the best raw materials for production solid fuel, which is especially valued in Germany. But there are also people who, after processing nuts, they simply burn the shells, this is very stupid, because there are so many useful applications walnut shells. Walnut shells can be useful in everyday life, for example: in the garden, in the garden, in medicine.

Let’s draw conclusions: the walnut business is already very profitable. Despite the disadvantages of this business, and they exist. Namely, the disadvantages of processing are a large staff and theft, but the advantages outweigh the high quality of the final product (and, accordingly, the selling price) and a lower percentage of waste, and this is also money.

Today you learned more about nut processing and this business. Thank you for your attention!
