Our own lines: hulling, shelling, sizing, sorting, finishing.
Processing
Hulling & shelling
Fresh nuts are hulled and separated from leaf, hull and stick on the intake line, then dried to storage moisture. Shelling is scheduled by variety and lot so identities never mix; in-shell nut for retail programs is separated before the cracker.
Sizing & sorting
Kernel moves through screen graders into contract size bands, then through electronic colour and defect sorters that reject damage, discoloration, shell and hull fragments at line speed. What the machines cannot see, the hand-picking line catches: every packing run finishes under inspection lights.
