HULLER/SHELLER PLANT

The job of the Huller/Sheller Plant is to receive almonds from the field, remove and separate the hulls, shells, and kernels from one another, get rid of dirt and debris – all using vibration, friction, and compressed air, while minimizing damage like chipping, scratching, splits and broken. This is done with sheer rolls, gravity tables, screens and vibratory decks, forced air aspiration, bag houses to trap dust and dirt.  

Everything we need for our survival and wellbeing depends – either directly or indirectly – on our natural environment.

That is the essential point of sustainability. It creates the conditions that lead to productive harmony between what mankind can accomplish together with nature, to fulfill the social and economic needs of current and future generations.
