Ok. I take the (pedantic) point. I don't mean nut manufacturers, I know they grow on trees. I mean nut retailers... or whatever they call themselves...

They use machines that put two rubber rollers in motion and then drop the nuts between them to crack the shells. After that they use a blast of air to separate the shells from the nutmeat.

They are graded by size washed cracked open on a conveyor belt with rollers and mechanically sieved for the same size nut the rest is by vision and grading for other processes and products.

Nuts are not manufactured. They grow on trees.

They have things called mallet machines that lightly crack open each one.
