This almond shelling machine—a critical component of an almond shelling production line—is specifically designed to remove the outer shells from almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and various other types of nuts. Inside the machine, two rollers are positioned side by side. As hard-shelled nuts are fed into the hopper, the counter-rotation and compressive force of these rollers crack the shells open.
This is a single-stage almond shelling machine with a processing capacity of 400 kg/h. It boasts a compact design and stable performance. By adjusting the shelling rollers, the machine can precisely process almonds of different sizes. The shelling process is gentle yet effective, ensuring clean shell removal and a high yield of whole kernels—making it an ideal choice for applications with strict quality requirements.
The machine can be used as a standalone unit or integrated with an elevator, grading screen, shell-kernel separator, and almond grader to form an automated, high-efficiency almond shelling production line.It achieves a shelling rate of ≥98% and a cleaning rate of ≥97.5%, with a breakage/damage rate of ≤3% and a total loss rate of ≤0.5%.
Removing the hard outer shell is a critical step in almond processing. Manual shelling is slow and difficult to maintain at a consistent pace, especially when handling large volumes. A mechanical almond shelling machine offers a far more efficient solution, facilitating the separation of the kernels and streamlining subsequent processing stages.
