Cashew Shell Burner
Turn shell waste into heat
A cashew shell burner that combusts shell waste to generate the heat that drives steaming and drying — cutting fuel cost and shell disposal at once.
The TTQ Cashew Shell Burner combusts cashew shell — the plant’s main waste stream — to generate hot air or water for the steaming and drying stages. It turns a disposal problem into free process heat, sharply cutting fuel cost and enabling near-fuel-free operation. It pairs with the dryer, steamer and boiler, and underpins the carbon-credit and biomass-energy story of a modern cashew plant.

Built for yield & uptime
Shell combustion
Burns the plant’s own shell waste cleanly for process heat.
Near-free heat
Makes steaming and drying largely fuel-free, cutting energy cost.
Feeds the line
Supplies hot air or water to the dryer, steamer and boiler.
Waste to value
Turns a disposal problem into an energy and carbon-credit asset.

Where it fits in the process
The energy heart of the plant — it burns shell waste to heat the steamer and dryer, closing the loop on the plant’s own by-product.

Carbon Credits in the Cashew Industry
By burning cashew shell as biomass instead of fossil fuel, a cashew plant can cut emissions and potentially earn carbon credits — turning waste-to-energy into extra revenue.
