Sairaj Machinery’s Autoline stands as the ultimate turnkey solution for modern cashew processors, seamlessly integrating cutting, de-shelling, scooping, and separation into one compact, fully automated line that handles capacities from 1 ton to 50 tons per day. Powered by a robust 6-9 HP system (420V three-phase), this superior design minimizes manual intervention – from raw nut feeding to kernel output – achieving up to 97% recovery rates with virtually no breakage, thanks to precision components like dual shell blowers, unscoop piping, and impactors. Constructed with food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability, the Autoline’s 8×10 to 8×15 ft footprint fits even space-constrained facilities in high-production hubs like Vietnam or Brazil, while its low-maintenance vibrators and rollers ensure 24/7 uptime. Backed by comprehensive training, onsite support, and a 6-month warranty, it not only slashes labor costs by 80% but also elevates quality to meet stringent international standards like EU organic certifications. Whether scaling from small farms in Africa or optimizing industrial plants in India, the Autoline transforms raw cashews into premium, export-ready kernels with unmatched efficiency and reliability.
Detailed Uses of Cashew Nut Autoline Machine
Cashew autolines like Sairaj’s model are transformative in the cashew value chain, automating the labor-intensive stages from de-shelling to kernel extraction and separation. This end-to-end system is indispensable for processors aiming for scale, quality, and cost savings. Below is a detailed breakdown of its primary uses and benefits:
- Automated De-Shelling and Kernel Extraction: Post-boiling and cutting (e.g., integrated with Konark cutters), the autoline’s scooping machine and uncut rollers efficiently extract kernels from shells using vibration and air blasts, handling mixed RCN sizes without sorting. This replaces manual hammering or semi-automated methods, reducing kernel damage to under 3% and increasing whole kernel yields by 15-20%. Ideal for high-volume exporters targeting markets like the US or Europe, where uniform, clean kernels command premium prices.
- Efficient Separation and Waste Reduction: Components like the main vibrator, kernel blower, and dual shell blowers separate pure kernels from shells, dust, and unscooped debris via multi-stage air and mechanical sorting. The piping system recirculates uncut material for zero-waste reprocessing, cutting overall losses by 10-15%. In humid climates (e.g., Southeast Asia), this rapid separation prevents contamination, ensuring kernels are mold-free and ready for drying – a critical step for organic certifications.
- Scalable Production for Diverse Operations: With capacities from 1 ton (small farms or startups) to 50 tons (industrial plants), the autoline adapts via modular expansions, such as adding impactors for tougher shells. It minimizes manpower from 10-15 workers per shift to 2-3 operators, slashing costs by 70-80% in labor-intensive regions like Africa. For seasonal peaks, the 9 HP 3-ton model processes up to 1,000 kg/hour, supporting just-in-time export fulfillment without bottlenecks.
- Quality Control and Food Safety Compliance: Built with food-grade materials, the autoline ensures hygienic processing free of contaminants, with shell tables for final visual inspection. It maintains kernel integrity (no oil leaching or discoloration) through gentle handling, meeting global standards like HACCP, ISO 22000, and FDA requirements. Processors use it for value-added lines, like producing splits or halves for snacks, where 95%+ purity is essential.
- Integration and Workflow Optimization: Seamlessly pairs with Sairaj’s boilers, dryers, and peelers to create a complete plant, automating material flow via conveyors. In full setups, it reduces processing time from 8-10 hours/ton to 2-3 hours, enabling 24/7 operations. For sustainability-focused users, its energy-efficient design (low HP per ton) lowers carbon footprints, appealing to eco-buyers in the EU. Training support ensures quick ROI, often within 6-12 months through higher yields and reduced rejects.
