Cashew nut shells are very tough and difficult to break. In addition, cashew nut shell liquid is toxic and corrosive to the skin. Therefore, it is very dangerous to manually remove the cashew nut shell at home, because the cashew nut shell liquid is easy to splash on your hands.
To break the cashew nut shell safely and quickly, you need professional equipment. Here is how to break the cashew nut shell in the factory.
Process of Removing Cashew Nut Shell:
① Grading: divide the raw cashew nuts into 5 level.
② Cooking: 25-30 minutes with 115 degree. (after cooking, need to cooling and drying in a ventilation situation with 10-12 hours.)
③ Shelling: automatic working with shelling rate more than 98%.
④ Drying: 10-12 hours with 60-70 degree.
⑤ Peeling: automatic working with peeling rate more than 95%. (before peeling, need to humidify with 10-12 hours.)
⑥ Kernel Grading: sorting the size by the roller gap, no vibrating to make sure the whole kernel more than 98%.
Cashew Nut Processing Equipment in the Factory:
① Raw Casehw Grading Machine: classification is based on the width and thickness of cashews. The screening is accurate and efficient.
② Cashew Nut Cooking Machine: We offer two types of cashew cooking machines with electric heating and steam heating. Steaming can create a space between the shell and the kernel, facilitating the next step of shelling.
③ Cashew Nut Breaking Unit: including feeder, hoist, sheller, shell and kernel separator, and classifier. Effectively handle cashews of multiple sizes.
④ Cashew Drying Machine: The purpose of drying cashew nuts based on the principle of heat exchange. Facilitate peeling in the next step.
⑤ Cashew Kernel Peeling Machine: including loosening machine, peeling machine and crushed cashew kernel classifier. Realize continuous peeling and high peeling rate.
⑥ Cashew Kernel Grading Machine: according to the gap between the two sticks to realize the grading of different sizes of cashew kernels with little damage. The parts in contact with food are made of stainless steel.
The above is the description of the steps of how to break the shell of cashew nuts, and the introduction of the cashew nut machinery used.
