What this stage does

Shell and Kernel Separation 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 Shelling
After: Cashew Kernel Drying

Buyer checks before selecting machines

Confirm daily input, upstream preparation, downstream bottleneck, available utilities, and workshop layout before model selection.
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, dust or shell collection space, airflow if required, and downstream transfer 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.
