⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Small-Batch Roasted Chestnut Producer
"This chestnut sheller has transformed our production line. We purchased the Base Model in February 2025 and have been using it daily for 5 months. The 25kg/h capacity perfectly matches our output needs, and the fully automatic operation has reduced our labor costs significantly. Cleanup is simple thanks to the modular conveyor system. The green-coated steel frame shows no signs of wear, even in our humid kitchen environment."

🏡 Home Bakery Enthusiast Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Home-Based Pastry Business
"As someone running a weekend chestnut tart business from home, I needed something reliable but not industrial-sized. The 2017 automatic peeler (Base Model) arrived in November 2024 and has been running smoothly for 7 months. It handles both small and large chestnuts well—thanks to the adjustable hopper—and the 220V standard plug worked perfectly with my garage outlet. No special wiring needed. I love that I can process a full batch without standing over it. Peeling accuracy is around 90%, with only minor touch-ups required."

☕ Café Owner Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Sofia Lin - Urban Café & Dessert Bar
"We use chestnuts in seasonal desserts and wanted to streamline prep time. After researching options, we chose the Base Model in January 2025. Now, 6 months later, it’s proven to be a solid investment. It’s not fully stainless steel (only reinforced steel), so I wipe it down daily to prevent moisture buildup. But the continuous conveyor system keeps things moving during peak hours. We process about 15–20kg per day in winter, well within its range. Only reason for 4 stars: would love a slightly wider hopper for oversized European chestnuts."

🌾 Small Farm Processor Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thomas Reed - Family Farm & Agritourism Operation
"We host chestnut harvest festivals and needed a machine that could handle volume without breaking down. The Pro Model (upgraded to 35kg/h with smart sensors) was delivered in April 2025 and has already processed over 1,200kg of chestnuts in just 4 months. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel is essential for our outdoor setup, and the smart sensor control really does reduce waste—we’ve seen a 15% drop in unpeeled nuts compared to last year’s manual process. Setup was straightforward, and the supplier provided excellent guidance on customization. Worth every penny for year-round scalability."

🍮 Food Innovation Lab Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Anita Patel - Culinary R&D Facility
"Our team evaluates food processing equipment for artisanal product development. We’ve been testing the Advanced Model since March 2025 (3 months in) and are impressed by its real-time quality monitoring and consistent output. The machine integrates seamlessly into our workflow, and the ability to customize belt speed allows us to test different chestnut varieties efficiently. It meets food-safe compliance standards, which is critical for our lab. A reliable, mid-tier option between manual labor and full industrial lines."

🏆 Industry Expert Recommendations
Food Processing Equipment Specialist
Marco Santos - Industrial Food Tech Consultant
"For small to medium-scale chestnut processors, the 2017 automatic sheller series offers an excellent balance of cost, durability, and automation. The Base Model is ideal for startups, while the Pro Model’s AI-enhanced sensors and 3x longer lifespan in humid conditions make it a smart long-term investment for commercial operations. Its modular design also future-proofs your setup—easy upgrades mean you won’t outgrow it quickly."
Sustainable Kitchen Design Expert
Chef Lila Nguyen - Sustainable Food Systems Advisor
"I recommend this machine to any business looking to reduce manual labor and food waste. The 25–35kg/h throughput is perfect for cafes, bakeries, or seasonal farms. What stands out is the energy efficiency on standard 220V power—no costly electrical retrofits. Plus, the durable build reduces replacement frequency, aligning with sustainable kitchen principles."
