● Weight: 300 kg                                ● Unbroken rate: 3%
● Control type: press button            ● Broken rate: <5%

★ 4. Cashew shell & Kernel Separating

Cashew kernel separating shaker is used to separate cashew kernels from cashew shells and unshelled cashew nuts. After through cashew nut shelling machine, cashew shell pieces and kernels are separated by cashew shaker, and unshelled cashew nuts are returned to be re-shelled.
● capacity: 300 kg/h
● power: 1.1KW/380V
● weight: 120 kg
● dimension: 1.95*0.83*1.15m

★ 5. Cashew Peeling Machine

The red skin of each cashew kernel is removed by cashew kernel peeling machine for deep-processing products. This automatic cashew kernel peeling machine works with an air compressor and the internal parts of the peeling machine are made from high-quality stainless steel.
