T echnological Advancement to the Cashew Processing Industry CREATIONS OF BUDDHI INDUSTRIES SRI LANKA

M – 171-1 CASHEW SHELLING MACHINE

Facts • Best quality cashew nuts have a great demand in the markets globally • Clean, crisp and undamaged cashew nut is the number one must when it comes to the quality of the cashew nuts • About 90% of the damages happen to cashews during one operation. That is the husk removal or shelling process

Facts • Removing the cashew nut from the shell (or the husk) which surrounds it is the most difficult tasks in the cashew processing industry which often demands a lot of manual labour

M- 171-1 Buddhi industries’ M- 171-1 cashew shelling machine was developed to overcome these issues

Machine overview • Cost effective – Affordable price – Low maintenance cost – Low operation cost • Easy to use – Basic , reliable engineering – Easy to maintain – Simpler operating procedure • More efficient – Low power consumption – Low wastage

Machine overview • OUT PUT • Processing Rate (Raw Cashew)-15Kg- 25Kg/hour • Full kernels- 95% • Splitting & Breakages - 5%

Operating procedure Just three simple steps 1. Connect the main power supply 2. Load the machine with well dried raw cashew in to the feeder 3. T urn the machine on

Specifications Dimensions

Specifications T echnical specifications Unit Specification Gross weight 110kg 240 V Voltage rating (Single phase) Motor Power 0.5hp Max. Loading on feeding gutter 15kg Production rate 20kg/Hour

Improvements(M-171-1) • Slider improvement –For increasing the durability & reducing the maintenance cost. • Improvements in the Spring box mechanism- For minimizing the maintenance cost.

Concept Version • Concept version has been already done to minimize un cuts, splitting, & back-cut & increase the production rate. • Still in the experimental Level.
