Through the Line Podcast: How Almondco Scaled Throughput 70% Without Cracking a Single Kernel

How do you scale almond processing throughput by 70% without cracking a single delicate kernel?

This episode explores Almondco's Project Optimize, a 10,000-square-meter facility expansion built around six custom Flexicon tubular cable conveyors, food-grade surge hoppers, and vibratory feeders that keep almonds moving gently between processing stages. It traces how Flexicon's scope grew from a single bag filler to a plant-wide bulk handling system, and how spiral letdown chutes, intelligent surge storage, and real-time controls solved both the kernel-damage problem and the upstream-downstream speed mismatch.
