Cashew Dryer Machine (Borma)
Controlled borma drying
A borma drying chamber that brings shelled kernels to the ideal moisture level, loosening the testa skin for high-yield peeling.
The TTQ Cashew Dryer Machine (borma) dries shelled cashew kernels under controlled heat to loosen the brown testa skin ahead of peeling. Kernels are dried on trays or a continuous conveyor at a regulated temperature — typically 70–80°C — for several hours until moisture reaches the target of around 3%. Correct drying is what makes dry-peeling clean and high-yield; over- or under-drying both raise breakage. Heat is supplied from the plant’s cashew-shell burner, making the stage largely fuel-free.

Built for yield & uptime
Even, regulated heat
Uniform airflow and thermostatic control dry every tray to the same moisture.
Sets up high-yield peeling
Correct drying loosens the skin so dry-peeling releases whole kernels cleanly.
Shell-fired, low fuel cost
Runs on heat from the cashew-shell burner — turning waste shell into free energy.
Sensor-based control
Temperature and time are held to preset recipes for repeatable results.

Where it fits in the process
Drying follows shelling and precedes peeling. Its heat typically comes from the shell burner, closing the loop on the plant’s own waste.
