Frequently asked questions about the NS-Y121
What is the shelling rate of the NS-Y121?
The NS-Y121 achieves a 90-95% shelling rate, with around 3% of cashews left unshelled. It opens two cashews per cycle, which is what allows the 0.8 kW motor to reach about 50 kg/h.
How many cashews can I process per day?
At approximately 50 kg/h, an eight-hour shift handles about 400 kg of raw cashew in shell. Actual output depends on nut size, moisture and how well the cashew is graded before shelling.
Does the NS-Y121 shell peanuts as well as cashew?
Yes. The machine is described as a small cashew and peanut shelling machine, so it handles both. Cashew is the primary application and the 90-95% rate quoted refers to cashew.
What power supply does the NS-Y121 need?
The NS-Y121 uses a 0.8 kW motor on a 380 V three-phase supply. Because the motor is small, the electrical requirement is far lower than for a full cashew line.
