automatic machinery with higher capacity and lower maintenance. You need to take commercial

In the next step, cashews are sending into the steam boiler and steam roasting process is done by 

the machine, After that they are dried and then sent into the peeling machine for removing the

the black layer of the cashews then again classified into grades. Broken pieces of cashews are

separated from the good quality grains. According to their quality and size, they are classified into

different grades. Export quality nuts are separated from the other grades. These are packed in the

bulk tins like 20Kg. or 25Kg.

After processing cashews are packed into pouches or jars as our convenient and marketing 

preferences. If you want to establish your own brand of products, you have to print your brand
