Combined machine for harvesting and shelling almonds for super-intensive almond orchards

A machine for harvesting and shelling almonds, comprising:

• a shelling machine combined with a harvesting machine,
• wherein the shelling machine is connected to the harvesting machine so that an outlet of the almonds harvested by the harvesting machine coincides with a loading area of the shelling machine,
• wherein the shelling machine has a body for collecting the almonds harvested by the harvesting machine, the body coinciding with a loading hopper designed to continuously supply the shelling machine,
• wherein the shelling machine is arranged transversally to the advancement direction of the harvesting machine;
• and
• wherein the shelling machine is connected to a top part of the harvesting machine so that, while the harvesting machine harvests the almonds from a row, the shelling machine bestrides an adjacent row to the row treated by the harvesting machine in order to discharge the shelled almonds into a body towed in an adjacent inter-row.
