Almond Shelling Machine
The almond shelling machine is simple equipment for shelling apricot kernels, with single-stage shell breaking and adjustable gap.
In almond primary processing, shelling efficiency and kernel integrity directly affect subsequent separation, grading, and overall processing costs. This Almond shelling machine adopts a proven double-roller shelling structure, specially designed for almonds and similar nuts. It is suitable for medium to large almond processing plants and can operate as a standalone unit or be integrated into a complete almond shelling production line.
Almond Shelling Machine Overview
This machine is a single-stage almond cracking machine with a compact structure and stable performance. By using adjustable shelling rollers, it can accurately process almonds of different sizes. The shelling process is gentle, ensuring clean shell removal and a high whole-kernel rate, making it ideal for applications with strict quality requirements.
The almond nut cracker machine can be used independently or combined with elevators, grading screens, shell–kernel separators, and almond grading machines to form an automated, high-efficiency almond shelling line.

Structure and Working Principle
Double-Roller Shelling System
The almond hulling machine is equipped with two high-strength shelling rollers. The roller gap can be adjusted according to almond size, ensuring effective shell removal while maintaining a high kernel integrity rate.
Double-Screen Separation Design
- Upper screen: Separates un-shelled or partially shelled almonds for reprocessing
- Lower screen: Separates shells and kernels for downstream separation
This design ensures a clear material flow, reduces mixing, and improves overall processing efficiency.

Almond Shelling Production Line Process
The almond shelling machine can be configured as part of a complete shelling production line, suitable for large-capacity continuous operation.
1. Raw Material Grading
Raw almond shells are fed into a rotary drum grading screen via an elevator and divided into three or more size grades. Each size fraction is stored in a hopper and evenly fed by an electromagnetic feeder into multiple shelling machines for parallel processing.
2. Shelling Process
Almonds enter the shelling machine, where the roller gap is pre-adjusted to match the raw material size. This ensures clean shelling and high kernel integrity. After shelling, the mixture of shells and kernels is conveyed to the next stage via a collection belt.
3. Shell–Kernel Separation
The shell–kernel separator separates shells and kernels efficiently:
- One outlet discharges almond kernels
- The other outlet discharges almond shells
The separator can be customized according to capacity and raw material size.
4. Almond Kernel Grading
Separated kernels are fed into an almond grading machine and sorted by size or specification, facilitating downstream packaging, pricing, and further processing.
