How the Cashew Nut Cracking Machine Works
- Feeding and Orientation: Cashews are fed into the machine’s hopper via a conveyor belt. An internal orientation mechanism properly positions each nut before it enters the shelling station.
- Shelling: A rotating cutter head or fixed blade applies pressure along the seam of the cashew shell, cutting it open without damaging the kernel.
- Shell-Kernel Separation: The mixture resulting from shell cracking enters the separation system, where shells and kernels are separated using screens with varying aperture sizes.
- Discharge: The separation system discharges the clean kernels through the outlet, and the shells and debris through the waste outlet.
Cashew Shelling Machine Features
- Carbon Steel Structure: Carbon steel construction gives the main unit a robust structure that suits continuous operation.
- Protective Housing: The housing prevents shell fragments from scattering during operation and directs the crushed shells downward for discharge.
- Shell-Cracking Rate: Depending on the specific model and raw material conditions, the shell-cracking rate can reach approximately 90%–95%, while the kernel damage rate (kernel breakage rate) is typically below 5%.

FAQ
The breakage rate is approximately 5% or lower. The result depends on the quality, moisture content, and size of the cashews, as well as the machine’s settings.
Some models support 220V or 380V power supplies. The voltage can be customized; simply let us know the voltage in your region.
