An RCN bag conveyor is a belt or inclined conveyor — typically around 8 m — that moves bags of raw cashew nuts (RCN) from the truck or raw-material store up into the plant’s intake / steaming section. The payoff is immediate: it replaces slow, injury-prone manual carrying of heavy bags, feeds the process line steadily, and cuts labour at the plant’s busiest choke point. Cashew Tech supplies and specifies the conveyor as part of a turnkey material-handling setup, with belt width, incline angle and motor rating configured to the plant.
Where it fits in the process flow
The conveyor sits at the front of the flow — ahead of steaming and boiling. Raw bags arrive by truck, a forklift unloads them, and the conveyor lifts them into intake and the steaming machine. See the cashew manufacturing process for the full sequence.
Belt vs inclined design & the ~8 m length
A belt or inclined design carries bags up from floor level to the intake platform; around 8 m is a common length, configured to your building height and layout.
How it cuts manual lifting
Hand-carrying heavy RCN bags is slow and a common cause of worker strain and injury. A continuous conveyor feed steadies the intake rate and frees staff for higher-value tasks.
