How it works

Complete Cashew Process Flow

Raw Cashew Handling

Raw cashew nuts (with shell) are received and fed into the processing system.

Material Handling SystemsFeeding Systems

Ensures smooth and controlled flow.

Cleaning & Destoning

Raw cashews are cleaned to remove dust, stones, and foreign materials.

Pre CleanerDestoner

Ensures product purity and protects machinery.

Steaming / Cooking

Raw cashews are steamed to soften the shell for easy removal.

Ensures:

  • Easy shell separation
  • Reduced kernel breakage
Shelling

Shell is removed to extract cashew kernels.

Cashew Shelling Machine

Ensures:

  • High shelling efficiency
  • Minimal kernel damage
  • High yield
Drying

Shelled kernels are dried to reduce moisture and prepare for peeling.

Improves peeling efficiency.

Peeling (SKIN REMOVAL)

Outer testa (skin) is removed from cashew kernels.

Peeling Machine

Ensures clean, white kernels.

Grading & Sorting

Cashew kernels are graded based on size, color, and quality.

Grading MachineVibratory GraderColor Sorter (Optional)

Produces:

  • Whole kernels
  • Broken grades

Critical for export quality.

Quality Inspection

Final inspection ensures product consistency and premium quality.
