In some embodiments, a method for processing almonds includes sorting almonds into groups; and drying the sorted almonds. Sorting the almonds may include sorting based a size, a dimension, a mass, and/or an aerodynamic property. Drying the almonds includes subjecting the almonds to heated air for a time period and further include circulating the heated air at a velocity.

The present invention refers to a cracking-shelling mechanism with variable eccentric adjustment for shelled fruits, that comprises a plurality of longitudinal blocks parallel among them, consisting of a couple of first elongated bars with recesses on its internal sides and, adjacent to said first elongated bars, at least one second elongated bar, which exhibits recesses on its internal sides, forming holes when the first and second elongated bars are confrontedly arranged. Each couple of first elongated bars is connected by means of a lever, in its turn connected to a connecting rod, to an eccentric rotation shaft. The lever is connected to a fastening means at a support point and the support means comprises displacement means that change its position with respect of the fastening means, in such a way that the first elongated bars run is adjusted, jointly, with respect of the second elongated bar.

Disclosed is a continuous feeding mechanism including a transfer mechanism, wherein the transfer mechanism includes a rotatable indent roller circumferentially provided with a plurality of blanking grooves; a post pin is arranged in each blanking groove; the post pin is connected with a spring; the spring is arranged towards the interior of the indent roller; and the post pin can move along the blanking grooves; a feeding box, wherein the bottom of the feeding box is hollow, and the bottom is arranged above the indent roller or the bottom is fixedly connected with the indent roller; the continuous feeding mechanism is arranged above one side of the transfer mechanism; and an electromagnetic heating mechanism which includes a supporting frame, wherein the transfer mechanism is arranged in the supporting frame, and an electromagnetic coil is circumferentially arranged outside the supporting frame.

A device includes a blade, which is movable within an associated working space for cutting product units, and a conveying device in which the product units can be individually conveyed into the working space of the blade. The conveying device includes at least one two-part conveying channel associated with the blade, in which on one side first conveyor elements and on the other side second conveyor elements are guided, which are assigned to one another in pairs and which have each a recess for partially receiving a separated product unit. The sides of the first and second conveyor elements, which are facing one another, delimit therebetween the free working space, so that the blade is guidable within the working space partially or completely through the product units held in the first and second conveyor elements which correspond to one another.
