This system has been designed and conceived to obtain an homogeneous quantity of product of the same grade that can be next processed with the OLTREMARE shelling machines.
The plant is designed in order to load the nuts in bulk and to return them cleaned, bagged and graded according to a nominal size called "C" (see attached brochure) which ranges from 18 to 30 millimeters.
The raw nuts are cleaned from light and heavy foreign matters, then are passed through cylinders provided with "pipe" openings which prevent the nuts from spinning round, allow a uniform and homogeneous calibration and finally assure a limited variability of the nut within the same grade class.
Main characteristics:
The plant is mainly composed of:
· Raw cashew nuts cleaning machines
. Sustaining trestle
· Product screw conveyors
. Bag holders and connection piping
. Calibration cylinders
. Elevators
. Nut extraction device
. Eectric control panel with PLC
