RCN Process
RCN process which is nothing but Raw Cashew Nut process at our factories is typically performed by highly qualified, trained and competent workforce along with automation technology equipment put to effective use. Besides, our RCN process goes hand in hand with international standards at all times. We provide superior quality cashew nuts to meet the domestic and international cashew market standards and to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. We ensure that our RCN processes are stringently adhered and followed to match global norms at every single stage.
Cashew Nut Processing
The cashews are collected from our farms, which are further processed to meet the delivery standards.
Sun Drying
The first step is sun-drying of raw cashew nuts followed by stacking them in gunny bags. These cashews are dehydrated under the hot sun for a couple of days and are then gathered for further processes. Sun drying helps in the elimination of surplus humidness, which effects in longer life of the cashew nuts.
Steaming
Steaming the raw sun dried cashew is the following step. Steaming the in-shell cashew nuts under pressure helps in making the shell loose, which makes the removing process easier. The steamed cashews are replaced from the drum and spread in the outdoors for a period of around 12 hours, which permits them to cool down and also in the elimination of the cashew shells.
Shell Cutting
The roasted cashew nuts are then transferred to the cutting department to do away with the outer shell. This process involves placing each cashew between the blades of the machine. Then the cashew shells are spilt open longitudinally and the nut inside is at once separated by hand. Finally, the refining process pops out the yield of cashew nut with a soft inner shell.
Oven Drying
Once the cashew kernels are removed from their outer shells, it is dried in an Industrial oven at low heat for a few hours to make the skin loose which simplifies the peeling process.
Peeling
The outer skin, which turns reddish after the drying process known as Testa is peeled off to obtain the final cashew nut. Each nut is independently peeled to yield white nuts. These white nuts are then directed to the grading division.
Grading
Grading of the processed cashews is based on the color and the way the cashew kernels are broken. The grading is decided as per the AGMARK standards. The wholes are further split into 5 (WW -180, WW-240, WW-320, WW-210, WW-450) high-quality grades as per the standards.
Packing
The high ranked sample containers are further approved to the packaging line. We provide a complete solution for conditioning and packaging of cashew kernels with vacuum packing machine. Our employees scarf the cashew nuts using the 1st-grade bags and transferred to our storage facility.
