Hulling and Processing

Our custom-designed almond hulling and shelling facility, which can process more than 60,000 pounds of almonds every hour, has helped us significantly improve product quality.
We can offer our customers an array of processing and packaging services:
  • Accurate grading and sizing
  • Various cuts, sizes and granulations
  • Blanching, roasting and flavoring
  • Packaging options ranging from 0.5 oz. bags to metric-ton bins

Our state-of-the-art processing facilities house operations of unrivaled speed and accuracy. We have the capacity to efficiently clean, sort, grade, process and package billions of nuts each year — no other processor can match our level of size and sophistication, or the resulting product quality and consistency.

Paramount Farms continually invests to stay at the forefront of technology. More than $100 million in capital improvements are in various stages of planning or completion. Our highly capable engineering department seeks out new equipment solutions or designs what we need in-house. We hold a number of patents for our processing solutions, have incorporated both lasers and robotics into our operations, and were the first almond processor to offer steam pasteurization. And to maximize our effectiveness, our Six Sigma® team uses statistical analysis to drive improvements in quality and efficiency.

Electronic sorters use lasers to accurately sort almonds at incredible speeds.
