Processing step
Cashew Kernel Grading
Understand this processing step, the machines usually discussed for it, and the details to confirm before planning a line.
What this stage does
Cashew Kernel Grading 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 Peeling
- After: Cashew Color Sorting
Buyer checks before selecting machines
- Confirm finished-kernel grade target, defect tolerance, manual checking workload, and packing workflow.
- 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
Power supply, operators, workshop space, feeding and discharge area, and the next processing stage should be confirmed.
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.
