| Description |
A cashew nut decorticating machine which will save fuel and minimize the level of cashew nut shell liquid contamination has been developed by the Natural Resources Institute's (NRI) Industrial Development department It has undergone field trials in Zambia in collaboration with the Zambia Cashew Co Ltd. The machine gives a high yield and burns waste shell within the unit to give the nuts an initial roasting. This method was developed by NRl's predecessors, ODNRI, more than 20 years ago and was manufactured commercially on a large scale, processing approximately 1000 tonnes of cashews per hour. However, it became apparent that a smaller-scale plant was required for some developing countries. This new model processes some 100 kg per hour.
