Automatic shelling machine FL series

stainless steelhigh-capacity

Product overview
The automatic cashew nut sheller FL series is a high-speed shelling machine designed to crack cashew shells while preserving kernels. Available in fully automatic and semi-automatic configurations, it automates feeding, positioning, cracking and separation to reduce manual labor and increase throughput for small-scale processors and industrial plants.

Technical parameters
Type | Production capacity | Dimensions | Shell opening rate
Fully automatic FL-2 | 35-45 kg/h | 1.45 × 0.5 × 1.2 m | 90–95%
Fully automatic FL-4 | 60-90 kg/h | 1.45 × 0.85 × 1.2 m | 90–95%
Fully automatic FL-6 | 150 kg/h | 1.45 × 1 × 1.55 m | 90–95%
Fully automatic FL-8 | 200-260 kg/h | 1.45 × 1.33 × 1.55 m | 90–95%
Fully automatic FL-10 | 260-340 kg/h | 1.45 × 1.7 × 1.55 m | 90–95%
Fully automatic FL-16 | 1000-1300 kg/h | 1.4 × 1.2 × 1.85 m | 90–95%
Semi-automatic FL-2 | 25 kg/h | 1.1 × 0.6 × 0.6 m | ~95%

Features

• Integrated feeding, positioning, cracking and separation in automatic models.
• Shelling rate typically 90–95% for uniform nuts.
• Precision cutting mechanisms to minimize kernel damage.
• Adjustable settings to process varying cashew sizes.
• Contact parts made of 304 stainless steel (food-grade, corrosion-resistant).
• Available configurations with 1 to 6 shelling heads to match capacity needs.

Applications

• Cashew processing factories
• Agricultural cooperatives and small processors
• Food packing and value-added processing facilities
• Nut exporters and bulk processing lines

How it works

• Feeding: nuts are loaded into the hopper.
• Positioning: nuts are aligned for accurate shell cutting.
• Cracking: controlled crack preserves kernel integrity.
• Separation: shells and kernels are separated automatically.
• Collection: kernels collected in a tray; shells discharged separately for waste handling or further processing.

Technical specifications

• Model series: FL (models FL-2, FL-4, FL-6, FL-8, FL-10, FL-16; semi-automatic FL-2 available).
• Production capacity: 25 kg/h (semi-auto) up to 1000–1300 kg/h (FL-16) depending on model and nut quality.
• Dimensions: model-specific (examples provided in Technical parameters).
• Shelling rate: typically 90–95% for fully automatic models; semi-automatic FL-2 can reach ~95% under ideal conditions.
• Material: 304 stainless steel in contact areas; other structural components as specified by manufacturer.
• Configuration: 1–6 shelling heads; fully automatic models include feeding, cracking and separation subsystems suitable for integration into processing lines.
• Recommended use: standalone shelling stations or integration into larger cashew processing lines.
