The Italian private company OLTREMARE S.r.l. was founded in 1960 and ever since it
has entirely devoted its activity to the cashew industry. The company started its activity in
processing cashew nuts in its premises of Zola Predosa – Bologna – Italy with the first
mechanical cashew processing plant ever built since then. OLTREMARE is now known as the
world-leading manufacturer of cashew nut processing plants and service provider for the
cashew business. Its keen and global knowledge of the cashew business is also an advantage
for the customers. OLTREMARE is opinion leader in cashew processing technology and in this
respect it has introduced many new original and effective techniques and solutions.
Over the years, in addition to plant production, OLTREMARE has broadened its
activities with the ultimate aim of promoting the potential wealth produced by cashew nuts.
Presently its activities are:
� production, installation and commissioning of mechanical cashew processing plants
and related technical assistance;
� feasibility studies (agricultural and industrial);
� establishment and management of cashew plantations;
technical assistance and training in cashew cultivation.
On top of this OLTREMARE has added to its primary activity two more machinery lines
which complement and at the same time widen the scope of business:
� engineering, production and installation of electronic colour sorting machines
� engineering, production and installation of vacuum packing machines for bulk
commodities.
Since 1960 OLTREMARE has installed its plants in the following countries: BENIN,
IVORY COAST, TOGO, NIGERIA, KENYA, TANZANIA, MOZAMBIQUE, GUINEA BISSAU,
MADAGASCAR, BRAZIL and VENEZUELA. More recently OLTREMARE has taken up projects in
Asia and in particular VIETNAM, INDONESIA, REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES, PEOPLE’S
REPUBLIC OF CHINA, THAILAND and INDIA.
OLTREMARE implemented some project with the financing of international institutions
such as ADB (African Development Bank), WB-IDA (World Bank – International Development
Association), EDF (European Development Fund), IFC (International Finance Corporation), CDC
(Commonwealth Development Corporation), EIB (European Investment Bank), and with the
General Directorate of Cooperation of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Other customers
are private companies whose projects have been financed through loans by international
commercial banks.

OLTREMARE PRODUCTION PROCESS
As regards the processing stages, please also refer to the “Process Flow Chart” above.
The OLTREMARE mechanical processing of cashew nuts involves the following stages:
1 - Cleaning and calibration
2 - Washing and humidification
3 - Roasting, centrifugation and cooling
4 - Shelling and pneumatic separation of the shells
5 - Drying
6 - Peeling, grading and sorting
7 - Packing
1 - Cleaning - Calibration
The bags are individually taken from the warehouse, then opened and emptied into the
feeding hopper. By means of a dosing feeder they reach the cleaning unit, pass on a vibrating
screen, and through an aspirator that removes dust and other foreign matters (leaves, twigs
etc.). The nuts pass then through an 8-size calibrator and are stocked by grade.
2 - Washing and Humidification
Before processing, the calibrated nuts go through the washing unit. After washing the
nuts are placed in the humidification area where they are regularly wet to obtain the required
moisture content before proceeding to the following roasting section.
3 - Roasting - Centrifugation - Cooling
The nuts are unloaded into the feeding hopper and carried by the bucket elevator into
the kiln hopper. There from, they are fed into the roasting kiln by a dosing feeder. The nuts
are conveyed to the bottom of the tank, where they expel the CNSL housed inside their shells,
thanks to the high temperature of the CNSL bath (190°-200°C). After crossing the bottom of the
roasting tank, the nuts get back to the surface and fall into the paddle elevator, which
discharges them into the centrifuges. While passing through the centrifuges, the CNSL is
drained from the nuts, and then the latter are conveyed through a cooling tunnel into hoppers
placed before the shelling lines.
4 - Shelling and Pneumatic Separation of Shells
The nuts are discharged from the conveyors onto the footbridge hoppers feeding the
automatic shelling machines. Inside the shelling machines, the shell is split into two halves
and partly separated from the kernel. Both kernels and shells fall into the vibrating screen
placed underneath. This screen allows the kernels to drop on a conveyor belt as the shells and
The World of Cashew - Oltremare May 2017
Page 15
unshelled nuts remain on the upper side until the end of the shelling line. The empty shells
are sucked by an aspirator; the unshelled nuts proceed to separation benches.
The kernels are then cleaned and passed through the supercalibrator where whole,
broken and rotten kernels are separated. Whole and broken kernels are stored into separate
containers to feed the dryer.
5 - Drying
This operation is done to reduce the kernel moisture up to 3.5-4% for the following
mechanical peeling operation. The working temperature is around 80°-85°C. The discharged
kernels are kept in a cooling room.
6 - Peeling Grading and Sorting
The whole kernels are passed through a rocket peeler which is a cylinder provided of a
central bar fitted with springs. The cylinder and the central bar rotate in opposite directions
thus facilitating the separation of the testa from the kernels. All the kernels pass through a
supercalibrator where they are divided into whole and broken kernels. Unpeeled kernels are
sent to the air peeler. After one passage into the air peeler, almost the total production is
completely peeled. The small fraction that is not peeled completely goes for a second passage
into the air peeler and eventually to the manual finishing. The broken kernels proceed to a
pneumatic blower for final cleaning before entering a grading cylinder. Whole, peeled kernels,
and graded peeled pieces are sent to the optical sorting for separation of scorched and
dessert from white ones.
7 - Packing
After the grading operations, the kernels are vacuum packed, by grade, into plastic
bags, and then put in 50-lb. carton boxes.

ROASTER 1. Charging Hopper and Elevator
The hopper is placed below the ground level and it is made of electro-welded carbide
steel. A dosing vibrator for nut extraction is mounted at the bottom of the hopper. The dosing
unit is mounted on springs with oscillating blades and it is controlled by an electro-magnet.
The latter rests on a cast-iron support, which is bolted to a heavy cast constituting the base of
the dosing unit. The base and the springs on which the channel is mounted are engineered to
absorb the vibrations transmitted to the channel itself. The moisturized nuts are fed into the
kiln loading hopper by a bucket elevator whose structure consists of electro-welded steel
modules. The buckets are made of galvanized cast-iron, and are riveted to the PVC belt. The
driving head and the idle head are machine-tool manufactured steel-castings.
2. Continuous Roaster
A destoning device is placed at the entrance of the roaster for the extraction of stones
and other heavy foreign materials dangerous for the roaster operation. The system is
composed by a special feeding section made in carbide steel and a ventilation fan that lifts
the unit and lets the heavy foreign matter to fall into a collecting hopper. The lifting capacity
of the fan can be controlled by an inverter so to adapt the separation to the size of the nuts.
Another component is a roasting tank filled with CNSL, made of carbide steel, and duly
insulated to increase the efficiency. The tank can hold 5 m3 of CNSL maintained at a given
temperature by a heat exchanger placed at the bottom of the tank. The exchanger works with
diathermic oil heated by a shell burner. The CNSL inside the tank is stirred to increase the
thermal exchange.
A lath conveyor (catenary) feeds the nuts inside the tank, driven by a speed variator
determining the roasting time. The CNSL temperature inside the tank is maintained constant
by a diathermic oil flux regulator, which is controlled by a thermometer. The nuts are directly
unloaded into the centrifuges without the use of any elevator.
An overflow control device is placed on the tank side to keep the CNSL level constant,
and discharging the excess quantities into a decantation tank.
There is then a diathermic oil heating system composed by heat exchanger, circulation
pump, smoke extraction fan and valve, modular three-way valves, pressure switch, pressure
gauge on pipe coils, inlet and outlet, interception valve in stainless steel and pump protection
filter.
An aspiration hood collecting the roasting fumes is placed over the tank.
The roaster is provided also with an electric control panel with temperature control
and inverters.
Functioning data:
• nut roasting capacity: 2500 kg/h
• installed power: 10 kW
The World of Cashew - Oltremare May 2017
Page 20
• diathermic oil flow rate: 50 m3/h
• diathermic oil temperature: 300°C
• diathermic oil pressure: 500 mm/H2O.
3. Aspiration and Fumes Circulation in the Kiln
An electro-welded steel pipe is placed on top of the aspiration hood collecting the CNSL
fumes. The fumes are blasted by a fan at the end of the pipe. A unit to collect the condensed
hot smokes is mounted on the exit line for the fumes, which, thanks to an underground pipe,
are finally released outside the unit through a brick chimney.
CONTINUOUS CENTRIFUGE
The centrifuge is an extractor draining the CNSL from the roasted cashew nuts. The machine
is composed of:
a) main structure
b) differential unit
c) scroll for nuts and filter basket
a) Main Structure
This structure supports the differential unit and in the same time allows nuts and CNSL
canalization into two different discharge outlets. The basic frame of the machine is made of
electro-welded steel sections and, through appropriate vibration-damping devices, it supports
the bull ring of the main structure. The latter is built with welded steel, inside there is the
CNSL collector and outside, the hollow space let the drained nuts pass. Over said structure,
there are the nut collector and cover.
b) Differential Group
The group is composed of a hard alloy cast iron box Gh25, fastened to the a.m. main
structure. Inside the differential box primary and secondary shafts are assembled. They give
differential motion to the scroll and basket. They are made of alloy steel with inserts of AISI
304 steel. The gears are assembled on the shafts (made of alloy steels with nickel-chrome).
The gears are engaged with the planet wheels sustained by the two planet wheels carrying
plates. All gears are subject to case-hardening, hardening and grinding treatments. A pump
driven by the primary shaft ensures lubricating oil circulation, whose temperature is kept to
the desired level by a cooling group outside the machine. The motion is given to the group by
pulleys and V-belts.
c) Scroll for Nut and Filtering Basket
The main and secondary shafts carry, as previously said, the filtering basket. The scroll
allows in the axial area the passage of nuts coming from the roasting section, and raises them
outside, and so it drains them. This frame is made of alloy electro-welded steel, and it uses

Page 21
special wear-resistant steels and alloy steels. The filtering basket is made of galvanized
carbide steel.

SEPARATION OF SHELLS FROM KERNELS
CONVEYORS TO THE SEPARATION BENCHES
The “S” shaped bucket elevators carry the shelled nuts to the separation benches.
The supporting structure is made of electro-welded carbide steel. The chain consists of plastic
buckets suitable for food usage. The buckets are connected to the steel shaft. The conveyor
chain is made of nylon. Both driving and idle heads are aluminium castings, connected by
steel rods. The elevator is equipped at both ends with horizontal pieces to facilitate product
load and discharge. The pieces are made of steel, and are finished with a protection layer of
paint and lacquering coating.
SHELL-KERNEL SEPARATION BENCHES
The shell-kernel separation unit includes:
a) grading sifters
b) shell-nut conveyors
c) pneumatic system for the transportation and recycling of unshelled product
d) percussion cyclones
e) shells aspiration
f) final cleaning of the kernels
Description:
a) Grading sifters
The three-size vibrating separators receive the kernels, and the nuts still not shelled
coming from the shelling and the recycling units. They sort shells and whole nuts from
kernels and small fragments. The movement of the sifters is controlled by levers and
eccentrics, which, in turn, are controlled by a pulley-belt system. At the end of the
separation benches the shells, the kernels, and the residuals fall respectively into the
shell-nut conveyors, the kernel conveyor, the small pieces conveyor. The unit is made
of electro welded steel.
b) Shell-nut conveying unit
The vibrating conveyors and the separation bench make up the main part of the unit.
The shells and the nuts advance through the vibrating channels. At the end of the line,
the heavy parts (nuts and possible shells and kernels still not properly divided up) fall
into the recycling line, while the shells are pneumatically eliminated. The construction
is made of electro-welded shaped steel. The movement is given to the conveyors
through eccentrics.
c) Pneumatic system for the transportation and recycling of unshelled product
The non shelled nuts and the possible shells or kernels still not completely separated
fall into the containers from where they are sucked by the air of the fans and then fed
into the percussion cyclones.
The World of Cashew - Oltremare May 2017
Page 26
d) Percussion cyclones
The kernels that are not completely shelled are pneumatically conveyed to the cyclones
where they bump into a wall so to complete shelling. The kernels and the shells then
fall again into the sifter placed underneath and go back to separation.
e) Aspiration of shells
At the end of the shell-nut conveyors are mounted several aspiration inlets through
which the empty shells are separated from the kernels to be conveyed to the separation
cyclones. The aspiration inlets may be adjusted by means of side deflectors. This
construction is made of electro-welded steel.
f) Final cleaning of the kernels
The kernels are fed from the conveyor belts into an open vibrating channel mounted
on levers and controlled by a tap and an eccentric. The movement is driven by an
electric motor and a pulley-belt transmission system. This unit also controls the
conveyors placed under the aspiration unit. The supporting structure is made of
electro-welded steel.
PNEUMATIC TRANSPORTATION OF SHELLS
The pneumatic transportation system connects the shelling unit to the exterior thus
enabling the automatic discharging of the shells. The first part of this unit includes acid
resistant pipes and PVC bends of medium thickness, collecting the shells falling from the
sifters. The shells are pneumatically conveyed into the separation cyclones connected the
bottom to one another by means of a flange with two discharge radial valves. The body of
these valves is a cast-iron mould housing a star-shaped rotor mounted on a steel shaft. The
valves evacuate the shells outside the factory through the discharge pipes.
DRYING
This operation can be done with a static or continuous dryer.
OLTREMARE cashew kernel continuous dryer consists of one or more standard modules,
assembled in series to attain the desired drying capacity. A final module is placed at the end
of the drying system, similar to the previous ones, but used to cool the kernels.
A single module has the dimensions of the drying room: 2x4 Mts., for total 8 m² and it
consists of a kernel feeding hopper over a slotted belt allowing a hot air blast coming from
the bottom of the dryer.
The air is conveyed from the outside by an electric fan and sent to a thermal exchanger –
which can be operated electrically or by steam or diathermic oil – and it is then conveyed
through the product to be dried upstream the direction of the belt motion.
The parameters on which are based the choices of the regulation system are the following:
� Air temperature
� Air speed
The World of Cashew - Oltremare May 2017
Page 27
� Product stay period inside the dryer.
The regulation devices are the following:
� Thermal exchanger temperature regulation device
� Adjustment of air inlet and outlet into the drying room
� Conveyor run/stop device
� Feeding hopper shutter regulation.
An aspirator is placed on the dryer upper hood to ease the hot air flux. In case a
cooling system is used, a hot air recycling device is also foreseen from the cooler to the first
module of the dryer, which can be used as a pre-heater.
The dryer is supplied with slotted belt cleaning device to keep the mesh system
constantly open and ease the air flux.

MECHANICAL PEELING
1 – Combined peeling machine
The new OLTREMARE combined mechanical peeling machine represents the latest
development of OLTREMARE technology for peeling cashew kernels.
The basic idea is to combine two mechanical principles in line so to have the maximum
peeling effect in only one pass through the machine.
Such a solution allows a better manipulation of the product reducing breakages and
improving hygienic conditions.
The peeling principles are the following ones:
� Rotational drum: the kernels advance into the lower part of the cylinder and the
peeling springs, mounted in packs on an eccentric shaft, touch them gently
while rotating. This action is aimed at fracturing the testa that uniformly covers
the kernel, so to prepare it to the subsequent air compressed action. The
cylinder is made of slotted sheet metal. Sheet-metal slides facilitate the inlet
and outlet of the kernels, while a hopper discharges the detached peels.
� From the above action the kernels pass immediately to an air compressed unit
that blows air at a pressure that removes the testa from the kernel.
Adjusting options: inlet flow, distance of springs on kernels, drum rpm, air pressure and belt
speed.
2 - Super-Calibrator
The super-calibrator includes a steel rotor provided with parallel, zinc-plated wires
carrying out a triple-grading of whole kernels and splits. The splits drop onto a conveyor for
split kernels. The whole kernels drop on the sorting bench where this operation is manually
completed. The rotor is mounted on stay rods supported by the main shaft. The rejected parts
pass through the string-rotor and the accepted parts are discharged through the front slide.
The continuous cleaning of the rotor is granted by cylindrical nylon brushes placed over it.
The main shaft is mounted on bearings. It is controlled by a pinion and transmission belt
system. The movement is driven by a reduction gear motor.

OPTICAL SORTING AND GRADING
1 – Cashew Kernel colour sorting machine
OLTREMARE is also the brand name of a new series of colour sorting machines suited
to process quite a lot of products, with a special attention to preservation of brittle.
With the aim of obtaining the highest purity and quality standards from products with more
than two colours, in the cashew industry OLTREMARE has successfully installed a double
system on the same machine. This system actually allows the separation among waste,
dessert, scorched and unpeeled kernels without handling the product, thus avoiding costly
breakage.
The OLTREMARE colour sorting machines take advantage of OLTREMARE long years of
experience in cashew processing: the machines are engineered with special devices to
preserve the brittleness of the kernels during the whole colour separation process.
2 – OLTREMARE Whole Cashew Kernel Electronic Grading System
The system consists of a feed box (containing the product to be graded) and a vibrator
that conveys the single kernels on a double conveyor belt.
A vision system based on cameras measures each kernel. This information is sent to a
computer which elaborates the data. The kernel is thus classified according to predetermined
class standards (each class represents the cashew kernel international classification grades).
After classification, an air compressed flow separates the kernels which fall into
different boxes according to the grade.
The system is engineered in such a way as to avoid breakage.
This system is in condition to classify a huge quantity of kernels achieving a high-level
precision grading that is actually far more precise than manual grading. Power consumption is
very low. No labour is required, thus avoiding unhygienic handling of the kernels.
