In June 2025, Taizy Machinery successfully delivered a complete 200kg/h cashew nut processing line to a processing facility in Conakry, Guinea.
This turnkey solution includes nine specialized machines covering the complete cashew processing workflow—from raw nut sorting to final vacuum packaging.
The project significantly improved the client’s processing capacity and enabled the facility to produce export-grade cashew kernels for both domestic and international markets.
Client Background
The customer operates a cashew processing plant near Conakry, the capital and major commercial center of Guinea.
As part of the West African cashew supply chain, the company planned to establish a fully integrated local processing facility instead of exporting raw cashew nuts overseas.
The project aimed to achieve:
- Higher product value through local processing
- Better quality control
- Reduced export logistics costs
- Increased access to European and Asian markets
- More local employment opportunities
Before purchasing the equipment, the factory mainly depended on manual shelling and peeling operations, which limited production efficiency and created safety risks.
Client Challenges
Corrosive Cashew Shell Handling
Cashew shells contain CNSL (Cashew Nut Shell Liquid), which can cause skin irritation and equipment corrosion during manual processing.
Low Processing Capacity
Manual processing limited production to approximately 50–80 kg of raw cashews per day.
Inconsistent Kernel Quality
Traditional processing methods resulted in high kernel breakage rates and unstable peeling quality
Moisture Control Problems
The customer required accurate drying equipment capable of reducing kernel moisture content to export standards.
High Labor Dependency
Manual shelling and peeling required intensive labor and made production difficult to standardize.
Export Food Safety Requirements
The client needed food-grade equipment suitable for HACCP-based food processing operations.
