For decades, almond processing followed a simple idea:
Harvest the crop. Remove the shell. Ship the product.
Modern almond factory processing changed everything.
In this documentary-style factory film, we explore how billions of almonds are processed every year — from mechanical tree shakers and sun-drying in California orchards to hulling, shelling, optical sorting, human inspection, roasting, slicing, and final packaging.
This is not a farming guide. This is not a promotional video.
It is a calm but tense visual journey into industrial scale, real-time decisions, and the balance between automation and human judgment.

❖ WHAT YOU’LL SEE INSIDE THIS FILM
• How mechanical shakers harvest thousands of almonds in seconds
• Why sun-drying is critical before factory processing begins
• Hulling and shelling systems calibrated for variable crops
• How optical sorting cameras inspect almonds at high speed
• Why human inspectors still override machines
• Size sorting, blanching, roasting, slicing, and grinding
• How billions of almonds are processed without stopping the line

🌰 FROM TREE TO INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING
Almonds are delicate by nature.
Shell thickness varies.
Oil content oxidizes.
Moisture levels matter.
Modern almond processing factories are built to adapt.
Machines handle speed.
People handle context.
From orchard to sealed package in under six weeks, every step exists because almonds do not tolerate shortcuts.
This is how industrial food processing works when the product sets the rules.

📘 DID YOU KNOW?
• Almonds are bred to withstand mechanical shaking
• Improper drying can cause mold and quality loss
• Shell cracking force must be adjusted multiple times daily
• Optical sorting flags more defects than it can explain
• Human judgment prevents costly recalls
• Nitrogen flushing extends almond shelf life significantly
