Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cashew processing equipment, automation, utilities, capacity planning, and quotation preparation.
How do I choose the right cashew processing machine?
Start from your daily raw cashew input, current manual bottleneck, target processing stages, available workers, and utility conditions. Then compare equipment by stage instead of choosing only by price.
What capacity details should I send before quotation?
Send raw nut input per day, working hours, target output, current process method, factory space, power voltage, steam or boiler condition, air compressor status, and stages you want to automate first.
Are the capacity ranges on the website guaranteed?
No. Public ranges are typical planning references. Final output depends on raw nut size, moisture, operator skill, machine configuration, utilities, and the full line sequence.
Can I start with a small line and expand later?
Yes. Many processors start with grading, steaming, shelling, drying, and peeling, then add better grading, color sorting, inspection, conveyors, or higher automation after the workflow becomes stable.
Do shelling machines need raw cashew grading first?
Usually yes. More consistent raw nut size can improve shelling stability and reduce breakage risk. Grading and steaming conditions should be checked before shelling machine selection.
Why does peeling quality change from batch to batch?
Peeling quality often depends on drying, moisture conditioning, humidifying time, kernel condition, air supply, and operator adjustment. The peeling machine should be reviewed together with preparation steps.
What utilities should I prepare for a cashew line?
Typical discussions include electricity, voltage, steam or boiler source, compressed air, ventilation, water, floor space, drainage, packing area, and safe operator movement around the line.
Can installation and training be discussed?
For qualified projects, installation coordination, remote guidance, operator training, spare parts, and test running requirements can be discussed before order confirmation.
Do I need a color sorter at the beginning?
Not always. Color sorting is usually more useful after stable drying, peeling, grading, and basic inspection. Smaller factories may first solve shelling, drying, and peeling bottlenecks.
How do I send a useful RFQ?
Use the contact form to share capacity, process stages, factory status, utilities, target automation level, and any layout photos or requirement files. Clearer details lead to better machine recommendations.
