Automatic cocoa pod splitting machine
Taizy cocoa pod splitting machine is nut processing machinery used to crack cocoa beans open, split them, and separate the shells from the cocoa nibs. Featuring a simple structure and high efficiency, it is one of the most critical equipment in the primary cocoa processing line.
It replaces traditional manual cracking methods, significantly boosting processing efficiency(300-1000kg/h) while preserving the integrity of the cocoa nibs. This lays the foundation for subsequent stages such as roasting, grinding, oil extraction, or chocolate production.
Advantages of automatic fresh cocoa pod splitting machine
Our automatic cocoa pod breaker machine has the following advantages attracting customers:
- It can crack 300–1000 kg of cocoa bean pods per hour, 10–20 times faster than manual labour, which is highly efficient.
- Adopting fully mechanical crack opening, this cocoa bean shelling machine eliminates the need for handheld machetes, preventing hand injuries.
- Its optimised blade angles ensure that the cocoa beans remain 99.9% intact, facilitating fermentation or drying.
- The cocoa pod cracking machine can adjust the cracking spacing according to the cocoa beans, and is suitable for various varieties from Africa, Southeast Asia and other regions.
- One-button start, simple structure, and convenient cleaning. One person is enough to operate.
- The machine material is stainless steel or carbon steel, which is food-grade, ensuring food hygiene.
- We can customize different models based on actual customer requirements and support customization of voltage, material, and structure.
Technical parameters of cocoa pod breaking machine
We have two cocoa pod crushers for sale: a large one and a small one. The main difference between them is their processing capacity. We can customize the voltage according to the customer’s usage requirements.

How does Taizy cocoa pod splitting machine work?
The workflow of our cocoa pod breaking machine is as follows:
- Manual feeding: Fresh cocoa pods are placed into the feed inlet.
- Automatic positioning: The equipment automatically adjusts the position based on shape.
- Cutting assembly: Rotary blades rotate to split the pods along the center precisely.
- Pod separation: The pod shell and cocoa beans are automatically separated.
- Complete bean extraction: Cocoa beans are retrieved intact without breakage or deformation
This whole process of the fresh cocoa bean processing machine is fully automatic, significantly reducing labor requirements and material loss.
What is the cocoa bean shelling machine price?
Taizy fresh cocoa bean cracking machine price is affected by the following factors:
- Production capacity and model size
- Requirement for fully stainless steel construction
- Custom voltage specifications (e.g., 380V commonly used in Africa)
- Need for a complete cocoa processing line (hulling, drying, air-classifying, etc.)
- Export to remote ports (impacting freight costs)
Each factor differs, resulting in varying final machine prices. For the detailed price of the cocoa pod splitter, welcome to contact us at any time!

Successful case: Cocoa bean cracking machine sold to the Philippines
The Philippine client is a medium-sized food processing plant requiring large-scale processing of fresh cocoa pods for cocoa bean fermentation. Key concerns include:
- Whether the cocoa pod splitting machine can process beans without damage
- Compatibility with local voltage (220V)
- Actual hourly output
- Availability of cracking demonstration videos
- Whether it can be shipped quickly
After receiving our trial operation video of the cocoa bean breaker, the client confirmed:
✔ Uniform cracking
✔ High bean integrity
✔ Meet their output requirements
They ultimately purchased 2 units of cocoa bean husk removal machines and expressed intent to acquire a complete cocoa processing line in the future.
