Cashew Fruit Separator Machine FAQ

The Cashew Fruit Separator Machine is specialized equipment designed to efficiently separate cashew nuts from the cashew apple (fruit). It replaces the traditional manual separation process, significantly increasing productivity and maintaining product quality.

The machine uses a mechanical rotating drum system that creates controlled friction to separate the cashew nut from the fruit. This system is calibrated to apply just enough pressure to detach the nut without damaging either component, preserving both for further processing or consumption.

Our separator is engineered specifically to minimize damage to both the cashew nut and fruit. The separation mechanism applies precisely calibrated pressure that’s strong enough to separate but gentle enough to maintain product integrity. The damage rate is typically less than 2%, which is significantly lower than manual separation methods.

Yes! One of the main advantages of our machine is that it preserves both products. The separated cashew apples (fruits) can be used for juice, jam, wine, or other by-products, creating additional revenue streams for processors.

The standard model has a processing capacity of 250kg of cashew fruits per hour under optimal conditions.

The machine requires just 1-2 operators – one person to feed the cashews and another to monitor the separated outputs and engine performance. This represents a significant reduction compared to manual separation, which might require 8-10 workers to achieve lower output.

The machine is powered by a gasoline engine, making it ideal for operation in rural areas without reliable electricity. The efficient engine consumes approximately 1.2-1.5 liters of gasoline per hour of operation.

Yes, the machine is designed for continuous operation during processing periods. We recommend brief 15-minute pauses every 4 hours to allow for quick cleaning and maintenance checks, which will ensure optimal performance.

The machine has dimensions of 1200 × 800 × 1350mm (L×W×H). We recommend having at least 1.5 meters of clearance on all sides for operator movement, maintenance access, and proper ventilation for the engine.

Regular maintenance includes:

• Daily: Cleaning the hopper and separation chamber
• Weekly: Chain lubrication and belt inspection
• Monthly: Bearing greasing and comprehensive inspection
• Every 25 hours: Air filter cleaning
• Every 50 hours: Engine oil change
• Annually: Complete service and part replacement as needed

We recommend keeping the following spare parts available:

• Roller chain (40-1R)
• P205 bearings
• B47 straps
• Engine air filter
• Engine spark plug
• Belt replacements

These parts are included in the initial spare parts kit with your machine purchase.

With proper maintenance, our Cashew Fruit Separator Machines have an expected operational life of 8-10 years. Many of our early models are still in service after more than a decade with regular maintenance and occasional part replacements.

Yes, we provide technical support via phone, email, and video calls. Our support team can assist with troubleshooting, maintenance guidance, and operational questions. For customers with Premium and Enterprise packages, on-site technical visits are also available.

Yes, the machine is delivered fully assembled and tested. Upon delivery, you only need to check the oil levels, add fuel, and it’s ready for operation.

Yes, basic operational training is included with all purchases. This can be conducted virtually or through instructional videos. For Premium and Enterprise packages, on-site training is available.

Yes, we can make adjustments to accommodate different cashew varieties and sizes. Please specify your particular requirements when requesting a quote, and our engineering team will evaluate the necessary modifications.
