The cashew nut processing machine is a set of machines that handle the entire journey of raw cashew nuts—from shell to finished, packaged kernels. It ensures consistent quality, saves labor, and improves productivity compared to traditional manual processing.

Foodline Automatic Cashew Nut Processing Machine
Below is a machine-by-machine presentation of the cashew nut processing line, followed by the full production workflow.

Raw Cashew Nut Grading Machine
Capacity: 1-1.2 t/h
Function: Separates raw cashew nuts into multiple grades based on size.
Working Principle: Uses vibrating sieves or roller classifiers to sort nuts.

Cashew Nut Steaming/Boiling Machine
Function: Softens the hard cashew shells and neutralizes toxic oils.
Working Principle: High-pressure steam penetrates the shells for 15–20 minutes, loosening them from the kernel.

Cashew Nut Shelling Machine
Function: Cracks the shells to release kernels.
Working Principle: Blades or rollers apply precise pressure to break the shell without crushing the kernel.

Cashew Kernel Drying Oven
Function: Dries kernels to reduce moisture and loosen the testa (thin brown skin).
Working Principle: Hot air circulates evenly in stainless steel trays at controlled temperatures (70–80°C).

Garlic/Cashew Peeling Machine
Function: Removes the thin brown testa from dried cashew kernels.
Working Principle: High-pressure air jets combined with soft friction rollers strip off the skin without breaking kernels.
