What this stage does

Cashew Shelling is one part of the full cashew processing sequence. The right machine choice depends on upstream preparation, downstream bottlenecks, daily input, utilities, operators, and factory space.

Before and after this step

Before: Cashew Steaming
After: Shell and Kernel Separation

Buyer checks before selecting machines

Confirm raw nut grading, steaming result, expected breakage control, and whether one unit or a shelling line is needed.
Confirm raw material condition, target output per shift, and whether this stage is your current bottleneck.
Prepare photos or a simple workshop sketch if the machine must fit an existing line.

Utilities and site details to prepare

Stable power, prepared steamed nuts, operators, shell collection space, and kernel separation area.

RFQ details that make recommendations clearer

Daily raw cashew input and working hours.
Current manual process or existing machine list.
Available power, steam or boiler source, compressed air, water, and workshop space.
Target automation level and expected finished-kernel quality.
