Almond Shell
Almond shell is one of the shell types with the highest calorific range in the solid-fuel group: at 4,060–4,540 kcal/kg it can compete with both wood and many biomass pellets. Its 4–9% moisture range makes long-term storage easy; its workable structure as a sandblasting granule and pellet raw material makes it a versatile industrial input. Haroğlu International supplies wholesale almond shell by the truckload on domestic and export terms.
- High Calorific Value With a 17–19 MJ/kg higher heating value it competes with wood and many biomass pellets; an economical fuel.
- Hard and Durable Its hard structure provides both abrasion resistance as a sandblasting granule and long-life storage.
- Versatile, Supply by the Truckload Used as fuel, abrasive and pellet; truckload shipment domestic and export.
Areas of Use
- Biomass fuel With its hard structure and high calorific value it competes with wood and many pellets in stoves, boilers and biomass systems.
- Sandblasting granule When ground, its durable structure provides an eco-friendly abrasive that cleans surfaces without scratching.
- Pellet production Its dense, workable structure is valuable as a high-calorific biomass pellet raw material.
- Greenhouse and kiln heating Its stable combustion provides balanced heat and low fuel cost in greenhouses and industrial kilns.
Technical Reference Values
Almond shell has one of the highest higher-heating-value (HHV) ranges in the solid-fuel group; its hard, dense structure increases both combustion efficiency and durability as a sandblasting granule. A wide moisture tolerance makes long-term storage easy.
| Higher heating value (HHV) | 4,060 – 4,540 kcal/kg (17 – 19 MJ/kg) |
|---|---|
| Lower heating value (LHV) | ~3,800 – 4,250 kcal/kg (16 – 17.8 MJ/kg) |
| Moisture content | 4–9% |
| Ash content | ~2.2% |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the calorific value of almond shell?
With a higher heating value (HHV) of 17–19 MJ/kg (about 4,060–4,540 kcal/kg), almond shell is in one of the highest calorific ranges of the solid-fuel group. This makes it an economical alternative to wood and pellets in stoves and biomass boilers.
Is almond shell suitable for sandblasting?
Yes. Its hard, durable structure, when ground, is used as a sandblasting granule that leaves no scratches on metal and delicate surfaces and is safer than silica sand.
How is it stored?
With a 4–9% moisture range, almond shell is a dry product; stored in a covered, ventilated area it preserves its calorific value and can be kept for a long time.
How do minimum order and delivery work?
We usually supply by the truckload, and in smaller lots on request. We ship to all provinces of Türkiye and for export; you can contact us for a sample and a quote.
