Real TTQ machines and lines running on factory floors — drag to spin, or let it revolve.
TTQ Co. Ltd. is a Vietnam-based manufacturer of automated cashew processing machinery and turnkey cashew plants, headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City. TTQ designs, builds, installs and services the full line — raw-nut grading, steaming, shelling, cutting, drying, peeling, kernel grading, colour sorting and vacuum packing — and delivers complete factories, consulting, project reports and plant-revival services across Africa and Asia.
Four ways we help you build a cashew business
From a single machine to a complete factory floor — TTQ covers the whole journey from raw cashew nut to export-ready kernel.

Each step maps to a TTQ machine — buy them modularly or as one automated line.
Calibration & cleaning
Raw nuts sized and cleaned for even shelling.
Steaming
3–4 bar for 20–25 min softens shells and protects kernels.
Shelling & cutting
Automatic cutters split shells with minimal breakage.
Borma drying
Kernels dried 13–14 h to 3–4%, which makes the testa brittle.
Humidification
Surface moisture back to 5–6% so the testa releases cleanly.
Peeling
Dry peeling removes the skin at high whole-kernel yield.
Grading & colour sorting
Sized into W-grades, then optical defect removal.
Packing & metal detection
Vacuum packed and checked before dispatch.

Interactive processWhere the PLC actually starts and stops
“PLC-controlled” is used loosely across this industry, so here is the boundary on a TTQ plant. One block of equipment is genuinely PLC controlled end to end. The processing lines are not, and they are not meant to be — each runs from its own panel so an operator can take a stage to manual without stopping the plant.
The integrated raw-nut front end
On configurations of 5 tonnes per shift and above, these five stages are supplied as a single integrated block and run automatically under one PLC:
- RCN cleaning and washing
- RCN grading (calibration)
- RCN steaming
- RCN cooling
- Feeding cooked nuts to the shelling lines
The processing lines
These are automatic lines, but they are not PLC controlled. Each comes with its own electrical control panel offering Auto Run or Manual control for every operation:
- Shelling and cutting lines
- Peeling lines
- Vacuum packing lines
Below 5 tonnes per shift the front end is handled stage by stage rather than as one integrated block, and standalone machines are supplied on their own wherever a plant only needs one stage replaced or added.
One supplier, from raw nut to export-grade kernel
Every TTQ machine is engineered to run together as one line — commissioned on your floor and backed by spare parts and support. No guesswork, no middlemen.
