A cashew shelling machine typically costs from about USD 5,000 for a small unit to USD 10,000+ for higher-capacity automatic models — priced by head count and throughput.
The price of a cashew nut shelling (cutting) machine depends mainly on head count and throughput. A small 4-head machine (~120–300 kg/hr) can start around USD 5,000; larger 12–16 head automatic machines reaching ~1,200 kg/hr cost more, often USD 10,000 and up. Fully automatic models with compressed-air actuation and PLC control sit at the top of the range. The best value is the machine matched to your capacity — oversizing wastes capital, undersizing bottlenecks the line.

| 12–16 head (auto) | up to ~1,200 kg/hr | ~10,000+ |
