Hullers/Shellers

The huller/sheller removes the almond from the hull and shell. It comprises a series of machines that break the hull apart and crack the shell in progressive stages without damaging the kernel. Through process of elimination, all the kernels are eventually shelled out. If hulling is your goal, four stages are adequate. For clean almond kernels, we recommend eight stages. Adding stages improves quality and increases capacity.

• Shear Roll

  Our shear roll uses an endless belt design to shear the hull and shell away from the meat.
  
  

• Hard Shell Cracker

  Our hard shell cracker uses counter-rotating rolls to condition the nuts for shelling.

• Decks

  The decks efficiently separate almond kernels from almonds still in inshells and hulls.

• Classifier

  Our self-cleaning classifier deck separates the kernels from the inhull and inshell remnants.
