As one of Africa’s leading macadamia-producing countries, Kenya has witnessed growing demand for efficient nut processing equipment. A customer from Kenya recently invested in our macadamia nut shelling machine to upgrade their processing workshop. After the machine was put into operation, the customer significantly improved shelling efficiency, reduced kernel breakage, and increased the market value of their macadamia products, helping them expand their business into premium nut markets.
고객 배경 및 생산 요구사항
Kenya is among the world’s major producers and exporters of macadamia nuts. The customer operates a medium-sized nut processing company that purchases raw macadamia nuts from local farmers and supplies kernels to exporters, supermarkets, and snack manufacturers.
Previously, the customer relied on manual shell cracking and simple tools, which resulted in:
- Low shelling efficiency
- 높은 인건비
- Inconsistent kernel quality
- Significant kernel breakage
With increasing export orders and rising labor expenses, the customer needed a commercial macadamia nut shelling machine capable of handling large volumes of nuts while maintaining a high whole-kernel recovery rate.
맞춤형 솔루션
After understanding the customer’s production capacity requirements and raw nut specifications, we recommended a macadamia nut shelling machine specifically designed for industrial nut processing.
The customized solution included:
- Adjustable shelling gap to accommodate different nut sizes
- High shelling rate with minimal kernel damage
- Food-grade contact components
- Customized voltage and plug compatible with Kenyan industrial standards
- Matching screening system for separating kernels and shells
Before shipment, we conducted comprehensive machine testing using macadamia nuts and shared detailed operation videos and finished-product demonstrations with the customer for approval.
