Nut Brittle Production
Improve your nut brittle production line with machinery and process solutions from Premier Forrester.
Nut brittle production might look straightforward, but production at scale requires careful control at every step. Cooking profiles, nut distribution and cooling conditions dictate whether you get a crisp, uniform sheet or a batch that sticks, cracks or sets unevenly.
At Premier Forrester, we design and integrate lines that keep those variables steady and throughput predictable.
Nut brittle production lines
A typical nut brittle production line includes:
- Nut preparation. Cleaning, grading and pre-roasting the nuts to stabilise flavour and texture.
- Sugar cooking. Heating sugar and glucose to the target temperature curve for controlled colour and a glassy snap.
- Nut addition. Mixing inclusions evenly so distribution holds during forming.
- Forming and sheeting. Spreading the mass while pliable to a consistent thickness across the belt or table.
- Cooling. Managing airflow and temperature to set the sheet without unwanted crystallisation or stress cracks.
- Cutting and finishing. Breaking or cutting into slabs, bars or bites, ready for packaging.

Nut brittle production - need to know
Things to consider when creating or upgrading your next nut brittle production line:
- Likely bottlenecks. Cooker capacity and cooling dwell time usually set line speed, both need tight control.
- Product variations. Almond, peanut, cashew, mixed nut or seeded brittles may require different roast levels, viscosities and sheet thicknesses.
- Batch size effects. Larger loads can cause uneven nut distribution and temperature gradients. Mixer geometry and belt width matter.
- Hygiene and changeovers. Smooth contact surfaces and tool-light access will shorten cleaning windows and protect uptime.
- Sustainability levers. Heat recovery on cookers and efficient air handling in cooling reduce energy use without sacrificing rate.
