500KG cashew processing line exported to Senegal Shell efficient peeling solution

Precise shelling and automated process

Zhengzhou Hongle cashew processing line is specially designed for efficient removal of cashew shells and skins, with a single-line processing capacity of 500kg/hour and fully automated operation. The equipment adopts multi-stage flexible shelling technology (drum grading + air pressure shelling), combined with a high-pressure water circulation spray system, to accurately peel off the shell and brown skin, completely retaining the white cashew kernels, with a breakage rate of less than 1.5%. In view of the characteristics of Senegalese cashew raw materials, the equipment specially strengthens the dust-proof heat dissipation structure and wear-resistant components, adapts to high temperature and dry climate, complies with ISO 22000 food safety certification, and the finished kernel whiteness reaches more than 90%, meeting European and American export standards.

Senegal customer cooperation case

In 2023, the cashew processing plant of Senegalese customers introduced our fully automatic production line to solve the pain points of low efficiency of traditional manual shelling (less than 2 tons per day) and labor costs accounting for more than 40%. After the equipment was put into production, the daily processing capacity increased to 12 tons, the kernel rate increased from 68% to 82%, and the annual production capacity exceeded 4,000 tons. The production line is equipped with an intelligent sorting module, which can simultaneously screen out broken kernels and unshelled defective products, and the product quality rate increased to 95%.

Deepening the African market and customized services

We, Zhengzhou Hongle Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., have been deeply involved in the field of nut processing for 20 years. We have provided 30+ production lines for major cashew producing areas in Africa, such as Senegal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and deeply adapted to the characteristics of high fiber and large differences in shell hardness of local raw materials. For small and medium-sized factories, we provide modular equipment phased upgrade solutions; for large enterprises, we can integrate drying, sterilization, packaging and other expansion units to create an integrated processing chain. At present, customers include planting cooperatives, export traders and deep processing enterprises, helping to increase the added value of the African cashew industry.
