Project of Cashew Nut Processing Unit

PREPARED BY

SAURABH MIRKAR

TRUPTI SHILWANT

Sufficient information needs to be collected about the availability of raw material in the area, no of existing cashew processing with their processing capacity and arrangement of marketing of cashew. The annual capacity assuming working for 300 days work out to 300000 kg raw cashew and shall produce 54000 kg of whole cashew nuts, 6000 kg broken cashew nuts, 3000 kg of small bits and other products at 85% capacity utilization.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT IN THE AREA OF OPERATION

Market Opportunity

Untapped market

By products

Increased rates by competitors

Less competition

FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT: Obtained assurance from State Electricity Board for providing required electricity connection;

NOC from Pollution control board;

Prepared plan and estimates for civil work of main plant and other ancillary buildings;

Obtained quotations from suppliers of plant & machinery and other equipment's;

Identify market for finished products.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

• Drum Roasting In this process the nuts (without any conditioning) are fed into a rotating drum, which is heated initially to red hot sufficiently to allow the shell portion of the nut to ignite and burn.

• Steam RoastingThe cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) obtained in this method from the shells is very clear and command a premium price. About 75% of the CNSL can be extracted from the shells.

By-products• CASHEW NUT SHELL LIQUID - A versatile Industrial Raw Material

Cashew nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) is a valuable raw material obtained as a by-product during the isolation of cashew kernel. The nut has a shell of about 1/8 inch thickness inside which is a soft honeycomb structure containing a dark reddish brown viscous liquid . It is known as cashew nut shell liquid, which is present in the pericarp of the cashewnut. In India annual production of CNSL will be around 15,000 tonnes where as the potentiality available is around 45,000 tonnes and the world production of CNSL will be around 1.25 lakh tones. This raw material is used for a number of polymer based industries like paints and varnishes, resins, industrial and decorative laminates, break lining and rubber compounding resins.
