Abstract: A machine for the integral processing of hard or soft shelled nuts herein proposed comprises a feeding hopper and at least one receptacle having a first end for connection to said hopper and a second opposite end, where said receptacle is located in a horizontal position according to the longitudinal direction of the machine and comprises therein a central shaft located according to the longitudinal direction thereof and connected at one end to a rotating element, where said central shaft has finger-like elements projecting radially outwards from various longitudinal positions thereof.

Abstract: A device for regulating and adjusting a distance between pairs of adjacent rollers in a peeling machine for almonds and similar dried fruits is provided, wherein the rollers are horizontally aligned at both sides of a central plane through which the product to be peeled is passed, the device including a movement transmission shaft coupled to each pair of adjacent rollers, a motor for operation of the movement transmission shaft, wherein the motor is coupled to one of the ends of the transmission shaft, a torque meter for measuring torque at various positions of the rollers, wherein the torque meter is coupled to a spin axis of at least one of the rollers in the pair, and a sensor for measuring and regulating a working distance between the rollers, wherein the sensor is coupled to at least the other roller in the pair.

Abstract: A shelling-separating machine for almonds and other soft-shelled nuts is provided incorporating operational and functional features which ensure the obtaining of the kernel in optimal conditions, while at the same time allowing for an effective separation of the almonds and other hard-shelled nuts that may accompany the soft-shelled nuts. At the inlet end, the machine provides a device for continuously feeding the product for the purpose of eliminating obstructions inside such machine. At the outlet end, the machine provides a retaining device which can be manually or automatically actuated and which keeps the outlet closed in order to retain the non-shelled product until the operational conditions recommend the actuation and opening of such retaining device to allow the non-shelled product to exit the machine, preferably by the overflow with respect to a previously established level.
