Almond Shelling Processing Line | 2–3 T/H Hazelnut Badam Cracking Unit

The almond shelling processing line integrates raw material elevating, grading, precise shelling, shell‑kernel separation, color sorting, and finished‑product grading. With a standard capacity of 2‑3 tons per hour, it adopts a continuous processing mode. It cuts manual operations greatly, improves shelling efficiency, and guarantees consistent finished quality.

Raw materials are pre‑graded to unify material sizes before precise shelling. This measure reduces kernel breakage and raw material loss. Equipped with color sorting and final grading units at the back end, the line removes discolored kernels, impurities, and defective products to upgrade final product quality.

Featuring strong processing compatibility, the line works for almonds, badam, hazelnuts, peach kernels, macadamia nuts and other nuts. It is well‑suited for nut processing plants, large‑scale planting enterprises and export‑oriented processors to realize mass standardized nut production.

Processable materials and application scenarios

This almond shelling processing line fits multiple hard‑shell nuts, with adjustable shelling and grading modules for different raw materials.

Processable materials cover almonds, badam, hazelnuts, peach kernels, macadamia nuts and pistachios. Special shelling equipment is required for macadamia nut processing.

Our almond shelling processing line serves diverse production users:

• Large‑scale nut processing plants and deep‑processing enterprises realize mass nut treatment.
• Export‑oriented manufacturers obtain standardized products to meet foreign trade orders.
• Large‑scale farms can process self‑produced nuts on‑site for higher added value.
• Multi‑nut processors can run different nuts on one line by adjusting equipment configurations.

Core benefits of choosing the almond shelling unit

• Stable & high efficiency: 2–3 T/H standard capacity, supporting continuous mass production.
• Low kernel breakage: Grading before precise shelling ensures high kernel integrity and less material loss.
• Automatic shell-kernel separation: Eliminates manual sorting and improves working efficiency.
• Premium finished quality: Equipped with a color sorter to remove impurities and defective kernels for export-grade products.
• Labor-saving operation: Fully automatic line requires only 1–2 operators, greatly reducing labor costs.
• Flexible & customizable: Modular design adapts to different capacity, workshop space and nut materials.

Almond shelling processing line complete process flow

This almond shelling line adopts a fully continuous closed-loop processing mode, realizing automatic operation from raw material feeding to finished product grading. The detailed process is as follows:

1. Raw material lifting: The elevator automatically transports nut materials to replace manual handling for automatic feeding.
2. Size grading: Raw materials are sent to the drum classifier for precise size screening to unify material specifications for accurate shelling.
3. Quantitative feeding: The electromagnetic metering hopper provides uniform and stable feeding to ensure consistent shelling effect.
4. Precise shelling: Materials enter the almond shelling machine for targeted shell cracking, ensuring a high shelling rate and complete kernels.
5. Shell-kernel separation: The shell-kernel mixture is delivered to the shell-kernel separator for thorough separation, with unshelled materials reprocessed automatically.
6. Color sorting and impurity removal: The nut color sorter removes discolored kernels, defective kernels and foreign impurities to improve product purity.
7. Finished product grading: The kernel grader classifies finished kernels by size and integrity. The final products can be directly packaged or further processed by roasting equipment.
