Consequently, separating the palm nut to get the kernel is an extremely significant part of kernel processing as the ability to crack open the nut without causing harm to the kernel itself is important to limit waste, and thereby increasing productivity [5]. Cracking palm nuts is a critical step that can affect the quality of kernel oil [6].
