Cashew Grading & Sorting Machine
W180 to W450, sorted by size and colour
Kernel grading and optical colour-sorting machines that separate peeled cashews into export grades — by size (W180–W450) and by colour class.
The TTQ Cashew Grading Machine sorts peeled kernels into the standard export grades — whole white grades from W180 to W450, plus scorched, splits, butts and pieces — by size and shape. Paired with an optical colour sorter, it also separates kernels by colour to meet white-grade specifications automatically. Consistent grading is what lets a processor sell to export specification and price each grade correctly; the machine typically handles 300–1,000 kg/hr.

Built for yield & uptime
Full W-grade range
Calibrated decks separate whole kernels into W180 through W450 export classes.
Optical colour sorting
A CCD colour sorter removes scorched and off-white kernels to hold white-grade specs.
Grade to export spec
Repeatable, machine-set grading lets you price and ship each class correctly.
Protects premium grades
Gentle handling keeps whole kernels whole through the grading stage.

Kernel grading / classification — models
Roller classifiers that sort peeled kernels into W-grades by size. More axes (rollers) = higher throughput.

Optical colour sorters — models
Camera-based sorting that separates kernels by colour class and removes defects at high speed.
Specifications are indicative and configurable; TTQ confirms exact figures against your capacity, grade targets and factory layout. Model codes shown are TTQ quotation references.
Where it fits in the process
Grading and sorting follow peeling and precede vacuum packing. The graded, colour-sorted kernels are what the packing line seals into export-ready lots.
