In the process of actual sales of almond sheller production line, we often receive questions from customers:
“What is the shelling rate of this set of equipment?” “What is the kernel integrity rate?” “How many kilograms can be processed in a day?”
These questions reflect the high concern of customers about the actual application of the equipment. So, how to guarantee the shelling rate, kernel integrity rate, and overall production?
What are shelling rate, kernel integrity, and yield?
Shelling rate: refers to the percentage of shelled almonds that will be successfully shelled. The higher the shelling rate, the better the shelling effect of the equipment.
Kernel integrity rate: refers to the proportion of almond kernels that remain intact and not broken during the shelling process. It is the key index to evaluate whether the equipment is “gentle handling”.
Output: the number of almonds that can be processed by the equipment in a unit of time.
Key factors affecting the three indicators
Raw material dryness and uniformity
Are the raw materials properly dried? Is the moisture uniform? Too dry will easily break the kernel, too wet will affect the shelling efficiency.
Equipment structure design
Excellent almond sheller production line usually adopts multi-stage shelling and multi-frequency sieving design. It can process almonds of different sizes precisely and avoid one-size-fits-all damage.
Whether the grading system matches
The production line containing a pre-grading system can group almonds for shelling according to their sizes, which greatly improves the rate of shelling and completeness.
Operation proficiency and debugging
Video or remote guidance from the manufacturer is recommended for first-time use. This can reasonably adjust the shelling gap, vibration frequency, and other parameters.
Shuliy almond sheller production line advantage guarantee
High degree of automation: the whole process from feeding, grading, shelling, screening to kernel-shell separation is completed automatically, reducing the error of manual intervention.
Adjustable shelling device: the intensity of shell breaking can be adjusted according to the thickness of different almonds to ensure the integrity of the kernel.
High output: a complete range of models, supporting 200kg/h to 1000kg/h processing capacity, to meet the needs of different customer scales.
High kernel-shell separation rate: equipped with wind or specific gravity separation device, which can effectively improve the efficiency of kernel-shell separation and finished product rate.
Customer measured data reference (600kg/h model as an example)
| Project | Data range |
|---|---|
| Shelling rate | Over 98% |
| Kernel integrity rate | Around 95% |
| Actual throughput | 550–600kg/h |
| stripping ratio | ≥98% |
How can shelling be further improved?
- Uniform drying or air drying before shelling.
- Selection of grading sieves according to the size of the raw material.
- Regular checking of the shelling wheel and liner for wear and tear.
Conclusion
High shelling rate, intact kernel, and stable yield are three major indicators that must be achieved in a mature almond sheller production line.
