shell removal

Peeling hard coverings

Shell removal is the process of taking off an outer covering or casing.

The term applies across contexts: extracting nuts from their shells, peeling shrimp or crab, husking corn, or stripping protective housings from equipment.

In computing, it can mean uninstalling a shell program or interface.

The factory's shell removal process handles thousands of almonds per hour.
