Industrial almond processing line (200 kg/h)

Industrial Almond Processing Line (200 kg/h) — modern equipment designed for efficient and continuous almond processing, providing a complete basic processing cycle for raw materials. The line is engineered for gentle almond cracking with a maximum yield of whole kernels, helping maintain high product quality while minimizing losses. The equipment ensures shell and kernel sorting, automated raw material transfer between processing stages, optimization of the production process, and reduction of manual labor. The processing capacity reaches up to 200 kg/h, making the line an ideal solution for small and medium-sized production facilities. The line can be modified and equipped according to the customer’s individual needs, technological requirements, and production specifications.

The industrial line performs:

• Moving the hazelnut to the Nutcracker. A conveyor with a large hopper ensures uninterrupted operation of the line and a uniform supply of hazelnuts to the cracking and sorting line without human intervention.
• Cracking a hazelnut on a drum nutcracker for hazelnuts and almonds. The maximum-performance nutcracker gently cracks hazelnuts and yields up to 90% of the whole kernel.
• Sorting of cracked hazelnuts on a vibrating sieve with an aspiration system. In the process of sorting, you get a kernel sorted into 2 fractions, as well as shells and uncracked hazelnut in separate containers. Sorting equipment is used for high-quality and fast sorting of cracked hazelnuts in large volumes and performs up to 95% of all sorting work.

The productivity of the industrial line is up to 200 kg/h. With a normalized 8-hour working day, the equipment is able to process up to 1600 kg of hazelnut (crack and sorting). As a result of the line operation, you get a sorted kernel, ready for further processing or packaging. For comparison, with the manual processing of such a quantity of hazelnuts, about 60 people will be required.
