As nut and snack consumption continues to grow across Europe, many processors in Spain are upgrading their production lines to improve efficiency, product consistency, and packaging flexibility.
For companies processing peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and coated snacks, selecting the right roasting, coating, and packaging machine is critical to long-term competitiveness.
This article explains the key challenges nut processors face during expansion—and how a properly designed nut processing line can help solve them.
1. Inconsistent Roasting Quality
Uneven roasting leads to:
Color variation
Inconsistent flavor
Higher rejection rates
Batch-only systems often struggle to maintain stable results when output increases.
2. Limited Flexibility for Small Batches & New Products
Many producers want to:
Test new SKUs
Run seasonal or specialty products
Roast different nut types on the same line
Oversized or single-purpose machines reduce flexibility and increase operating costs.
3. Coating & Packaging Bottlenecks
Even with good roasting performance, production can slow down due to:
Sticky sugar or caramel coatings that are difficult to control
Manual weighing and packing
Limited packaging formats
A balanced line is essential to maintain throughput and quality.
To overcome these obstacles, leading processors are turning to modular production lines that offer continuous operation without sacrificing batch-level control.
Below is a high-performance layout designed for Spanish nut and snack companies aiming to scale capacity while preserving premium quality.
