A cashew apple juice extractor machine is a device used to extract juice from cashew apples efficiently and hygienically. It separates the juice from the fibrous pulp with minimal waste, preserving the natural flavor and nutrients. These machines are commonly used in cashew processing units and juice industries to produce fresh cashew apple juice on a large scale. They can be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic, depending on production requirements.
-
Crushing or pulping unit: The machine first crushes or pulps the cashew apples to release the juice.
-
Juice extraction system: It separates the liquid from the fibrous residue using pressure, rollers, or screw-type mechanisms.
-
Filtration section: Filters help remove impurities, fibers, and sediments to produce clear juice.
-
Material: Usually made of food-grade stainless steel (SS 304 or SS 316) to ensure hygiene and resistance to corrosion.
-
Capacity: Machines range from small-scale models (50100 liters/hour) to industrial units (5002000 liters/hour).
