Cashew Shell Cake, also known as de-oiled cashew nut shell cake (DOC), emerges as a valuable by-product from the cashew processing industry after CNSL oil extraction. This fibrous, brown-to-dark-brown material arrives in dry cake or pellet form with low moisture (typically 8-10%), making it easy to store, handle, and transport. Boasting a superior calorific value of approximately 4800-5000 kcal/kg, it delivers consistent high heat output, ideal for industrial applications like boilers, steam generators, and furnaces
Industries such as cement production, brick kilns, tile manufacturing, and other heating-intensive operations rely on Cashew Shell Cake for burning, curing, and drying processes. It burns cleanly either standalone or blended with coal, wood, or other biomass, enhancing combustion efficiency and slashing fuel expenses. Unlike traditional fuels, its low ash content minimizes residue buildup, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime in production lines
From an environmental standpoint, Cashew Shell Cake promotes sustainability by repurposing agricultural waste into a renewable energy source, curbing deforestation and lowering carbon footprints compared to firewood. Properly processed variants offer extended shelf life, enabling bulk storage for year-round use without quality degradation. Its compatibility with automated feeding systems—like hoppers, conveyors, and burners—ensures seamless integration into modern industrial setups
Key technical advantages include controlled moisture for stable burning, high energy density for cost savings, and eco-compliance for green certifications. Available in crushed or pelletized forms, it suits diverse machinery while outperforming alternatives in reliability and affordability. For businesses seeking a dependable, green biofuel, Cashew Shell Cake stands out as a smart, long-term solution to optimize energy needs and operational efficiency.
