The 7-Stage Quality Journey

Learn how raw cashew harvest is scientifically transformed into pristine, export-grade edible kernels.

01

Raw Nut Calibration & Testing

Raw cashew nuts (RCN) arriving from orchards are screened through sizing drums and tested for nut count, moisture percentage, and outturn quality (LBS). Only high-yield, healthy nuts pass forward into the processing line.

02

Steam Conditioning Boilers

The nuts undergo precise pressurized steam heating. This softens the fibrous outer shell and loosens the internal edible kernel without scorching, while allowing safe recovery of valuable cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL).

03

Precision Shelling & Decortication

Using calibrated mechanical cutters, the hard outer shell is cracked open cleanly. Experienced technicians ensure maximum whole kernel recovery with minimal split breakage.

04

Borma Thermal Moisture Drying

Kernels are placed on food-grade stainless steel trays inside computerized Borma hot-air chambers for several hours at regulated temperatures. This eliminates excess moisture down to under 5% and loosens the outer seed skin (testa).

05

Pneumatic Peeling & Skin Removal

Air-assisted peeling machines gently blow away the loosened reddish testa skin without scratching or bruising the smooth kernel surface, exposing gleaming white cashew kernels.

06

High-Speed Optical Color Sorting

Our high-resolution chromatic CCD optical sorter inspects thousands of kernels per second. Any kernel with blemishes, brown spots, or color variations is automatically rejected by ultra-fast pneumatic air nozzles.

07

Nitrogen Vacuum Sealing & QC Dispatch

Final passing through industrial metal detectors and moisture meters before being vacuum-packed with high-purity nitrogen gas in 10kg tins or 25kg barrier bags inside heavy-duty corrugated export master cartons.
