What nut drying means here

Nut drying removes excess moisture so kernels and in-shell lots stay stable for storage and export. A heat pump nut dryer uses dehumidified, controlled air—helping more consistent moisture than open sun alone. Guides here are starting points for commercial trials, not fixed recipes. Match capacity to wet infeed, then request a process proposal.

Cabinet dryer or multi-trolley for nut lots?

CD/CDS units suit R&D and smaller commercial batches. KH multi-trolley solutions suit larger daily wet infeed. Size from wet kg/day and hours—not a slogan tonnage name alone.
