The keys to staying ahead in today's competitive cashew processing sector are efficiency, accuracy, and speed. Even though many manufacturers still employ manual scooping, it is slow, unreliable, and mostly dependent on experienced labour, which is becoming more and more scarce. However, what if a single update could simultaneously increase quality, decrease waste, and increase output by as much as 40%.
The revolutionary machine your manufacturing floor has been waiting for is here: the Smart Cashew Scooping Machine.
A crucial step after shelling is cashew scooping, which involves carefully removing the kernel from its shell. This procedure has historically required skilled manual labour, with workers utilising basic hand tools or scooping knives. Although skilled individuals can provide quality work, there are significant drawbacks:
Low Speed: The amount of nuts that can be scooped by hand in an hour is limited.
Inconsistency: Uneven quality results from human weariness and skill variances.
Increased Breakage: Market value is impacted by increased kernel breakage caused by inexperienced handling.
Increasing Labour Costs: It's getting increasingly expensive to find and hire qualified scoopers.
Safety Risks: Sharp objects and repetitive movements increase the risk of harm.
These restrictions have a direct impact on profitability in a market where there is an increasing demand for premium, entire kernels.
Advanced automation and precision engineering were used in the design of the smart automatic cashew scooping machine to replace the labour-intensive, reduces error, manual process. Our scooping machine is constructed for a long life span and effectiveness. This device combines vision-based positioning, mechanical scooping arms, and easy-to-handle techniques to guarantee a maximum amount of whole kernels.
More cashews are processed per minute by an automated scooping mechanism than a skilled human could in an hour.
Variable Settings: Suitable for different nut sizes and shell types.
Low Breakage Rate: Kernels are preserved through gentle extraction.
Real-time monitoring: Performance is tracked and problems are immediately flagged by onboard sensors and display screens.
Power consumption is lower than with conventional semi-automatic models, making them energy efficient.
Small Size: Easily integrates into your current processing line
There were significant delays in the scooping area of one of our clients' mid-sized cashew processing plant facilities in Kollam, Kerala. For manual scooping, they hired 12 workers, but their daily production was limited to 150 kg, with an average breakage rate of 10%.
Two smart automatic cashew scooping machines were installed, and the output increased by 40% to 210 kg per day.
A greater grade of kernels was obtained when breakage decreased to 4%.
Because they only required four employees for supervision and ancillary duties, labour costs were cut by 40%.
Now at full capacity with low downtime, and the investment paid for itself in 6 months only Start analyzing your factory now.
The factory now operates at full capacity with little downtime, and the investment paid for itself in six months.
In the next five years, the demand for snack foods, plant-based diets, and exports are expected to propel the worldwide cashew machinery market's growth. Processing units must therefore increase output while improving quality control and speed. Scooping automation is becoming a need rather than a luxury. Delays in upgrading put factories at risk of losing contracts to rivals who can guarantee greater quality and bigger volumes faster.
ROI is crucial when purchasing processing equipment. The cashew scooping machine makes economical sense for the following reasons:
More kernels sold daily translates into higher revenue due to faster output.
Lower Labor Costs: Scooping requires fewer staff.
Superior Quality Kernels: Whole kernels fetch a higher price.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: Long-lasting components were used in construction.
The majority of factories turn a profit after six to nine months of recovering their investment.
Are you concerned about workers' safety and also addressed by the equipment? A safer workplace can be achieved by reducing the amount of manual scooping, which lowers the danger of cuts and repetitive strain injuries if faced. Additionally, the design complies with global food safety regulations that your product satisfies export specifications.
You're losing money every day if your cashew factory still uses manual scooping processes. A tried-and-true method for raising output, enhancing quality, cutting expenses, and maintaining an advantage over competitors is the smart scooping machine.
The company with low profit margins and expecting to rise as a consumer, a 40% increase in productivity it's my assurance, and you can make the difference between just making it through and succeeding with the results you want. Reach out now and get our cashew processing plant better.
