Almond Cracking and Shelling Machine Introduction
Almond shelling machine is one necessary shelling machine in almond processing factories. We offer different capacity(200-1000kg/h) to meet your demand. How can we crack almonds fully without breaking inner kernel? It depends on the gap almond passing through. Small almonds cannot get cracked while large almonds will be pulverized. So if your almonds are of different size, you’d better grade them firstly. Do not throw almond shells away, as they can be furthered made into compost products such as animal bedding material or co-gen plants for energy production.
(200-300 kg/h)Mini Almond Shelling Machine
This mini almond shelling machine is our smallest almond shelling unit. It mainly has two machines: Almond cracking shelling machine and Almond gravity separator for shells & kernels. Compact structure and low yield make it suitable for small-scale almond processing factories.Â
This almond processing unit enjoys the following features
1. The almond cracking rate can reach 98% with the broken rate less than 1%.( for a better cracking effect, you should grade the almonds first)
2. Easy operation. All these procedures are automatic and two people can control the whole almond shelling and separating line.
3. Efficient separating rate in almond shell and kernel gravity tables.
4. Rotary and adjustable rollers make this almond shelling unit suitable for almond with all hardness.
5. Main components all adopt stainless steel and has a long service life.
6. High shelling efficiency with low energy consumption.
7. Low land occupancy and investment.

(300-500 kg/h) Almond Cracking & Shelling Machine
Unlike smallest almond hulling unit, there are three main parts in this automatic almond shelling machine.Â
A: Almond Grading Machines(Optional)
Almond grading machine can grade almond into several levels based on different size and dimension.
B: Almond Shell and Kernel Separating Machine
Almonds get into sheller though feeder and are cracked by inside force. The almond in the shell will move to the sheller where it will pass through a series of sheer rollers and crackers. The mixture of the almond kernel and almond shells will be separated automatically.
C: Almond Kernel Peeling Machine (Optional)
This process can remove the almond nut thin peel to get pure almond kernels. ( You can choose according to your need).

(1000 kg/h) Almond Cracking & Separating Line
This Almond Shelling Machine and Gravity Tables have the largest capacity up to 1000 kg/h. Apart from the main machines, it requires other accessories like conveyor, feeder, and elevator to work together.
Vibratory Feeder
Using a high-frequency vibratory feeder, almonds in the shell are gently and evenly fed into the hard shell cracker. An even feed to the hard shell cracker is necessary for optimum cracking results.
Hard Shell Cracking Machine
The corrugated, hard rubber rolls operate with an adjustable distance of each other to produce hairline cracks in the hard almond shells. Multiple roller bearings are mounted beneath the hard roll carriage for ease of adjustments.
Automatic Kernel & Shell Separating
1. This unit capacity can be up to 1000kg/h, the choice for large-scale nuts processing factory.
2. With good quality and cost-effective price, almond processors will find it profitable for their business.
3. Almond sheller unit is suitable for all almond sizes because of the adjustable rotary & adjustable rollers.

Guidance on Almond Further Processing Market
★ As tree nuts, almond has much nutrition and benefits to humans. Almonds are rich in Vitamin E and carbohydrates.
★ Generally, almonds are consumed as food or snacks. Raw or toasted, the almond kernel is also a part of various dished. Almond can be pressed to almond oil and be made into almond butter or almond milk. Having almond roasted is the basic way to process almond and the price goes to 4500 USD per ton.
★ Almonds are a rich source of oil, with values ranging between 36 to 60% of kernel dry mass. The almond oil is an emollient to the skin as plant essential oil. Purified almond oil can be used as a lubricant to protect musical instruments such as oboe and clarinet.
