Nut Processing Machine

This automatic cashew processing machine is rated at 2,200 kg per hour, putting it at plant scale rather than workshop scale. It is specified for processors running continuous shifts, where the cost of manual cutting labour per kilo of kernel has become the limit on output. The unit accepts a 220-380V supply, which covers most single and three-phase industrial connections without an additional transformer, and the frame and housings are built in mild steel and iron. At this throughput it is usually installed as a stage within a wider line, taking feed from steaming or conditioning and discharging to drying and peeling, so the surrounding equipment needs to be matched to the same rate. Send us your raw cashew nut intake, the kernel counts you sell into and your destination port, and we will confirm the configuration, a delivered price and a lead time.

The automatic cashew scooping line separates kernel from shell after cutting, and is supplied as a complete assembly rather than a single machine. It handles 250 to 300 kg per hour and is built in stainless steel, with 3 kW of installed power on a 220V supply and an assembled weight of 5,500 kg. The line is made up of two vibratory screeners, a roller, the scooping machine itself and a blower with connecting pipework, together with the fittings and accessories needed to commission it. The screeners and blower matter as much as the scooper: they lift shell fragments and dust away from the kernel stream, which is what keeps the scooping stage from being re-fed with material it has already cleared. Because the line arrives as matched components, the footprint and the discharge height need to be agreed before manufacture. Send a layout of the space you have and we will confirm the arrangement.

Raw cashew nut arrives from the farm in mixed sizes, and cutting it unsorted is the single most common reason for a poor whole-kernel ratio: a cutter set for one size will crack or miss the nuts that fall outside it. This automatic raw cashew grader sorts incoming RCN into five size grades, marked A through E, at up to 97% grading efficiency. It processes 500 kg per hour, driven by a 1 HP three-phase motor through a gearbox, with a mild steel body finished in grey. Sitting it ahead of the steaming and cutting stages means each grade can then be run through the cutter at its correct setting. For most processors this machine pays back through yield rather than through labour. If you are currently cutting ungraded nut, it is worth measuring your whole-kernel percentage before and after.

Cashew kernel is priced by count grade, so grading is the stage that decides what a batch is worth. This machine sorts peeled kernel into seven grades, covering 180, 210, 240, 320, 400, 450 and broken, at an efficiency of up to 75%. It runs at 75 kg per hour on a 0.75 kW drive, weighs 120 kg and is built in alloy steel, with all contact parts made in food grade stainless steel 304 so the kernel only touches surfaces that are approved for food use. The machine is supplied with a one year warranty and free installation. At 75 kg per hour this is a machine for small and mid-size processors, or for a second grading pass on a larger line where the first pass is run for speed and the second for accuracy.

Steaming is what makes a cashew shell brittle enough to cut without crushing the kernel inside it, and the boiler is where that happens. This cashew nut boiler is built around a 320 kg standard capacity, with the range extending from 80 kg up to 2,000 kg so the same design can be specified for a workshop or for a plant. The shell is formed from 10 mm plate, which is heavier than the minimum the duty requires and is the reason these vessels tend to stay in service for a long time under daily thermal cycling. Units are assembled and checked in-house before dispatch. Sizing is the decision that matters here. A boiler chosen to match average intake will bottleneck during peak season, so it is usually specified against your highest expected daily RCN volume rather than your average. Tell us both figures and we will recommend a capacity.

This is a manual cashew nut cutter, operated by hand at a single station rather than driven. In a cashew operation the manual cutter is not simply the cheap option: an experienced operator working a hand cutter can hold a whole-kernel ratio that automated cutting struggles to match, which is why many processors keep a bank of them running alongside automatic machines for their highest grades. The cutter is built in a combination of stainless steel and mild steel and weighs 35 kg, so it is stable in use without being fixed down permanently. It is supplied in a green finish and is made specifically for the cashew industry. Complete training and installation are provided free of charge. Because output scales with the number of stations rather than with the machine, tell us your target daily kernel volume and we will advise how many units that implies.

Whole kernel is worth substantially more than broken, so the figure that matters on a cutting machine is not throughput but the percentage of nuts that come out of it intact. This machine holds a whole-kernel result of up to 98%. It processes 20 to 23 kg per hour, driven by a 0.5 HP three-phase motor through a gearbox, and weighs 120 kg. It can be run semi-automatically or fully automatically depending on how it is fed. Maintenance requirement is low, which matters on a machine that runs continuously through the cutting season. More than 500 shelling machines have been supplied over the last five years. The 20 to 23 kg per hour rate means output is normally scaled by installing several units in parallel rather than by seeking a single larger machine, which also keeps a line running when one unit is down for blade changes.

This cashew nut grading machine sorts nut by size at 200 to 300 kg per hour, running on a three-phase supply with a mild steel body finished in yellow. Grading is worth doing at two points in a cashew operation: on raw nut before cutting, so the cutter can be set correctly for each size, and on finished kernel before packing, so each count grade is sold at its own price. A machine at this rate is generally matched to a small or mid-size line rather than run as a shared unit across several. Complete training and installation are provided free of charge with every unit. Send us the stage you intend to grade at and the volume you handle in a shift, and we will confirm the specification and a delivered price.

This pressure steam boiler conditions raw cashew nut ahead of cutting, using indirect pressurised steam heating rather than direct contact, so the nut is softened without taking on water. It is offered in four batch sizes: 80, 160, 320 and 640 kg. Construction is heavy throughout. The steam generator is formed from 10 mm sheet, the cooker from 5 mm, and the chamber from 8 mm mild steel finished in heat resistive paint, sealed against leaks to hold temperature. Working pressure runs to 7 kg. The steamer section is 6 mm plate, rolled and double welded, and takes up to 80 kg of kernel. Safety and handling are specified rather than added on: a built-in pressure gauge, safety valves, an ISI marked gate valve, release valves and a water drainage system. The top cover is thick mild steel plate with a silicone rubber gasket, heavy duty hinges and a locking arrangement, and an ash collecting tray sits beneath the boiler. Electric and non-electric models are available, with 6 kW industrial heaters in single or three phase. Fuel consumption is low for the duty.

This automatic cashew processing machine is configured to the output you need rather than sold at a fixed rating, covering 100 to 5,000 kg of kernel per shift. The bottom of that range suits a processor taking a first step away from hand cutting; the top of it is a plant-scale installation. Because the specification is built to order, the questions that decide it are asked before manufacture rather than after: the kernel counts you sell into, the raw nut sizes you receive, the shift pattern you run and the power available at the site. Tell us the output you need per shift and where the machine is going, and we will come back with a configuration, a delivered price and a lead time.

Two numbers describe how well a shelling machine is working: how much of the kernel comes out whole, and how much nut passes through without being cut at all and has to be run again. This machine holds up to 98% whole kernel with an uncut ratio of 4%. It shells 40 to 45 kg per hour on a 1 HP motor with gearbox, weighs 160 kg and stands 56 inches high by 42 inches wide, so it fits a standard bench-height line without modification. More than 500 of these machines have been supplied over the past five years in China and abroad. As with all single-station shellers, capacity is increased by adding units rather than by upsizing, which has the side benefit that a blade change on one machine does not stop the line.

This is a turnkey cashew processing plant rather than a machine, covering kernel production from 100 kg up to 5,000 kg. The plant takes raw nut through the full sequence: steaming, removal of the kernel from the shell, drying, peeling of the testa, grading of the kernel and packing. The plants are designed so that the nut is handled as a whole kernel at every stage rather than being broken in transfer, which is where a poorly matched line loses most of its value. Guarding and safe operation are specified across each stage of the process. Support extends past the equipment. We take on the complete setup of the project, assist with sourcing raw cashew nut, and train both skilled and unskilled labour; a labour team can also be provided to work in your factory. For a plant enquiry, the useful starting point is your expected annual RCN intake and the grades your market buys, not a machine list.

The semi automatic cashew nut cutting machine sits between hand cutting and a fully automatic line: the operator positions the nut and the machine performs the cut. That arrangement keeps the operator's judgement on nut orientation, which is what protects the whole-kernel ratio, while taking the physical effort out of the cut itself. It is built to industry norms using the manufacturer's selected raw materials, and is specified for consistent performance and a long service life under daily use. For processors, the case for semi-automatic cutting usually rests on nut that varies in size. Where raw nut is well graded beforehand, fully automatic cutting becomes viable; where it is not, the operator's eye still outperforms the machine.

The small cashew steam boiler is the entry point into pressure steaming, built to the same specification as the larger vessels in the range but sized for an 80 kg kernel batch. For a processor handling a few hundred kilos of raw nut a day, it removes the main obstacle to a decent whole-kernel ratio without the capital of a plant-scale boiler. Heating is indirect and pressurised, working to 7 kg. The chamber is 8 mm mild steel sheet finished in heat resistive paint and sealed against leaks so temperature is held rather than lost, and the steamer is 6 mm plate, rolled and double welded. Construction is single wall. The safety fit is the same as the larger units: a pressure indicating gauge, safety valves, an ISI marked gate valve, release valves and water drainage. The top cover is thick mild steel with a silicone rubber gasket, heavy duty hinges and a lock, with an ash tray at the base and rigid legs supporting the vessel. Electric and non-electric models are available, with 6 kW heaters in single or three phase.

A peanut and almond kernel slicing machine that cuts whole kernels into flat slices for bakery decoration, confectionery, chocolate work, breakfast cereal and snack mixes.

Slicing is a presentation product, which means appearance is the specification. Clean flat slices of even thickness command a price; ragged slices and a high proportion of broken pieces do not. Blade sharpness, kernel conditioning and a uniform feed size are what produce the first rather than the second, which is why slicing is normally run on graded kernel rather than straight from the sheller. Slice thickness is set to the application. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your slice thickness and the kernel you are running and we will advise on the setup.

A peanut and almond kernel slivering machine that cuts kernels lengthwise into thin strips, producing the slivered almond used in bakery, confectionery, Asian cooking and premium snack mixes.

Slivering is a higher-value cut than slicing and a more demanding one, because the strip has to hold together along its length. That depends on the kernel being conditioned to the right moisture before cutting, since a kernel too dry shatters and a kernel too wet tears. The machine handles the cutting; the conditioning step before it is as important as the blade. Graded kernel gives the most consistent result. Contact us with your sliver dimension and throughput and we will specify the machine and the conditioning stage.

A peanut and almond kernel grading machine that sorts shelled kernels into size bands, so each band can be packed to a stated specification or sent to the process stage that suits it.

Grading after shelling does two jobs. It creates the uniform lots that commercial buyers specify, and it prepares the feed for anything that follows, because slicing, slivering, blanching and roasting all work better on a narrow size range than on a mixture. Grading is normally done with a stack of calibrated screens, with the band limits set to the standard your market uses rather than a generic split. Contact us with the grades your buyers specify and we will supply the screen set to produce them.

An automatic cashew grading machine that sorts shelled cashew kernels into commercial size and grade classes, separating wholes from butts, splits and pieces so each stream can be packed to its own specification.

Grading is the step that turns a mixed shelled output into saleable lots, because the price difference between a W240 whole and a piece is large enough that accurate separation pays for the equipment. The machine works on dimension through calibrated screens or channels, with the classes set to the standard your buyers specify rather than a generic split. It sits after shelling and drying and before peeling or packing. Contact us with the grades you need to produce and we will configure the screen set accordingly.

A raw peanut grading machine that sizes in-shell or raw shelled peanuts on intake, ahead of shelling, roasting or storage.

Grading on intake is the step that makes everything downstream predictable. A sheller set for a mixed feed compromises on every size in it, while a sheller fed a narrow band can be set properly and returns a much better whole kernel recovery. Intake grading also separates out undersize and foreign material before it reaches equipment that will be damaged by it. The screen set is specified to the bands your crop and your market use. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your intake volume and the size bands you work to and we will configure it.

A peanut butter making machine that grinds roasted peanuts into a smooth or crunchy paste, usually through a colloid mill arrangement that works the paste down to a fine particle size in one or two passes.

Peanut butter quality is a particle size question. Grind too coarse and the product feels gritty; grind without temperature control and the paste overheats, which affects both flavour and the way it separates in the jar. A two-stage grind with cooling is the usual answer for commercial output. The machine can be supplied as a single mill or as part of a line with roasting, peeling, grinding, mixing and filling. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your output target and we will propose the appropriate arrangement.

A complete almond shelling line covering the sequence from in-shell almond intake through cracking, shell and kernel separation, grading and sizing to a clean kernel output ready for blanching or packing.

A line rather than a single machine matters here because almond shells vary in thickness within the same delivery, and a single pass through one cracker either leaves hard nuts unbroken or crushes the soft ones. A line handles this by pre-grading to size, cracking each size band at its own setting, and recirculating the uncracked fraction. Kernel breakage is the figure that decides whether the line earns its keep. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your intake volume and variety and we will lay out the line to suit it.

A roasted peanut peeling machine that removes the red skin from roasted peanuts by dry friction, delivering a clean blanched kernel for snack packing, peanut butter, confectionery or further coating.

Dry peeling after roasting differs from wet blanching before it: the skin is already loosened by the roast, so the machine works by rubbing rather than soaking, and the kernel stays dry and ready for the next stage with no re-drying step. That makes it the natural choice where the product will be salted, coated or ground immediately. Roller pressure is set so skin comes away without splitting the kernel. Contact us with your roasting arrangement and throughput and we will advise on the peeler size and setting.

Peanut Powder Grinding Machine

A peanut kernel splitting machine that splits whole blanched peanut kernels cleanly into their two halves and removes the germ, producing the split peanut used in snack coating, confectionery and bakery.

Splitting is a preparation step for coated and flavoured peanut products, where a split kernel takes coating more evenly and fries more quickly than a whole one. The requirement is a clean split along the natural line rather than a broken kernel, which is a matter of roller gap and kernel moisture. Germ removal is usually part of the same pass because the germ is bitter. The machine runs on blanched kernel. Contact us with your kernel size and daily volume and we will specify the unit.

A palm nut shelling machine that cracks the hard palm kernel nut and separates the kernel from the shell, serving palm kernel oil mills and kernel traders in West Africa and South East Asia.

Palm nut has one of the hardest shells in commercial processing, which rules out equipment designed for softer nuts and makes wear parts a central consideration rather than an afterthought. A centrifugal cracker throws the nut against a hardened surface, and the speed is matched to the nut size so the shell breaks while the kernel survives. Shell separation then follows by air or by density. Contact us with your nut size and daily volume and we will specify the machine and the wear part schedule.

A nut shell and kernel separating machine that divides the mixed output of a cracker into clean kernel and shell fractions, usually by a combination of air separation and screening.

Separation is what determines whether the shelling section delivers a saleable kernel or a mixture somebody has to hand-pick. Shell fragments are lighter than kernel but overlap with small kernel pieces in weight, which is why separation works best when the feed is pre-graded by size so each band can be separated at its own air setting. The machine fits between the cracker and the grading stage of a shelling line. Contact us with the nut you are processing and your cracker output and we will specify the separation arrangement.

An almond and peanut peeling machine that removes the thin red or brown skin from kernels after blanching or roasting, leaving a clean kernel ready for slicing, grinding or packing.

Peeling is where yield is won or lost. Rollers set too tight break kernels; set too loose they leave skin behind and the batch has to pass again, which costs throughput and adds fines. The adjustment that suits a thin-skinned almond is not the one that suits a tight-skinned peanut, so the machine is set to the raw material rather than to a fixed figure. Contact us with the kernel you are running and we will advise on the roller arrangement.

A nuts breaking and shelling plant covering intake, sizing, cracking and shell separation for in-shell nuts, supplied as a plant rather than a single machine so each size band is cracked at its own setting.

Shell thickness varies within one delivery of the same crop, and that variation is the reason a single-setting cracker either leaves nuts whole or crushes the kernels. Pre-sizing, cracking per band and recirculating the uncracked fraction is how a plant keeps whole kernel recovery high, and whole kernel recovery is the number the economics rest on. The plant can be specified for peanut, almond, apricot kernel, palm nut or mixed duty. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your nut, intake volume and target recovery and we will lay out the plant.

A multifunctional sesame roasting machine for roasting sesame seed ahead of tahini production, oil pressing, bakery topping or confectionery use, with adjustable temperature and time to reach a defined colour and aroma.

Sesame is unforgiving because the seed is small and reaches colour quickly, so a few minutes past the point turns a nutty roast bitter and the whole batch with it. Even distribution and a controlled discharge therefore matter more here than raw capacity. The roast profile also differs by end use: tahini wants a lighter roast than a bakery topping, and the same machine produces both by setting rather than modification. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your end product and we will advise on the roasting profile and unit size.

A fried peanut processing line taking raw peanut kernels through blanching or peeling, frying, de-oiling, cooling and flavouring to a finished coated or salted fried peanut ready for packing.

Fried peanuts are a product where oil management decides shelf life. Oil that is not turned over and filtered darkens, carries flavour between batches and shortens the time the finished nut stays fresh in the bag. A continuous line with filtration and a de-oiling stage after the fryer addresses both the product quality and the oil cost, which over a year is usually the larger number. The line can be supplied with coating and seasoning sections for coated varieties. Contact us with your product range and target output and we will propose the line configuration.

A broad beans slitting machine that scores or splits the skin of soaked broad beans so they open during frying, producing the blistered open-shell snack sold across the Middle East, South Asia and Latin America.

The slit has to cut the skin without cutting deep into the cotyledon, because a bean cut too deeply falls apart in the fryer and a bean not cut at all stays closed and hard. The blade setting therefore follows the soak time and the bean variety. The machine sits between soaking and frying in a fried broad bean line. Contact us with your bean size and soak routine and we will advise on blade configuration and feed rate.

A peanut and almond kernel chopping machine that reduces whole kernels to a controlled particle size for bakery, confectionery, ice cream topping, cereal and snack applications.

Chopping sounds simple but the requirement is narrow: a buyer specifying a particular chop size wants that size and not a spread of dust and large pieces. Controlled chopping comes from blade geometry and feed rate working together, with screening behind the cutter to return oversize and take out fines. Excessive fines are a loss, because they sell for less than the chopped product and in oily nuts they cake. The machine takes both peanut and almond with the appropriate setting. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your required particle size and we will confirm the configuration.

An automatic sesame cleaning machine that removes stones, soil, stalk, dust and light chaff from raw sesame seed before hulling, roasting or oil pressing.

Sesame arrives with a high proportion of foreign matter relative to its small seed size, and anything abrasive that reaches a roaster or an oil press shortens the life of the equipment behind it. Cleaning combines air separation for light material with screening for oversize and undersize, and in many layouts a destoner for dense particles the air stream will not lift. Because the seed itself is small and light, air settings are the critical adjustment. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your incoming seed quality and we will specify the cleaning sequence required.

A multifunction nut roaster machine that handles several nut and seed types in the same unit, so a producer running peanuts, cashews, almonds, chickpeas and melon or sunflower seeds does not need separate equipment for each.

The practical argument for a multifunction unit is utilisation. A producer with a seasonal product mix cannot justify a dedicated roaster for each item, while one machine with adjustable temperature, time and rotation covers the range at the cost of a changeover between products. Each product still needs its own profile established and recorded, which is a matter of setting rather than hardware. Contact us with the full list of items you intend to roast and we will confirm that one unit will cover them.

A mini peanut roasting machine for small-scale and start-up production, roasting peanuts in modest batches for retail bagging, local supply or product development ahead of a larger investment.

Starting small is often the right decision in a snack business, because recipe and seasoning are usually worked out at small volume and then scaled once demand is proven. A mini roaster lets you establish a product and a customer base with limited capital, and it keeps its value afterwards as a sample and trial unit alongside bigger equipment. It will not carry commercial volume on its own, and it is not intended to. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your batch requirement and we will advise on whether this size fits your plan.

A high-efficiency chestnut shelling machine that removes the hard outer shell from chestnuts, with versions that also take off the inner pellicle, delivering a clean kernel for roasting, pureeing, freezing or canning.

Chestnut is harder to shell than most nuts because the kernel is soft and the inner skin clings to it, so a machine designed for a dry hard-shelled nut tends to crush the chestnut instead of opening it. This unit is built around the chestnut specifically, usually combining a scoring or cutting action with mechanical or thermal shell removal. Whole kernel recovery is the measure that counts. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your chestnut size and whether you need pellicle removal as well.

A medium nut roasting equipment unit sized for established producers rather than either a market stall or a large plant, roasting peanuts, almonds, cashews, sesame or mixed nuts to a controlled colour and moisture.

The medium scale is where temperature control starts to matter commercially, because at this volume a batch roasted past its point is a real loss rather than a handful of nuts. Even heating and a predictable cool-down are what make one batch repeat the last, which is what a buyer expecting consistent colour is paying for. Gas or electric heating is available. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your batch size and the nuts you roast for a recommendation.
