You need to use a large industrial macca nut dryer to meet large production scale during the domestic macadamia harvest season, specifically the Central Highlands region of Vietnam, So please refer to Mactech‘s large macadamia dryer models for more options suitable for production scale.

Drying Macadamia nuts is a necessary and mandatory step before putting the nuts into storage for long-term storage or before packaging them to bring to the market to consumers. Therefore, the quality of macadamia nuts when used will completely depend on the process of drying and roast the macadamia nuts. Unlike most commonly used grains and cereal grain dryers, Macadamia nuts have a lot of essential oils, so there is no need for drying temperatures higher than 100oC, so an effective macadamia nut dryer only needs a drying temperature range of 35 ~ 100oC.
The image above is 2 large dryer of Circulating Hot air dryer Group from Mactech used at Manh Toan facility in Daklak, including a 300kg dryer and a 500kg dryer. If you need a larger industrial macadamia nut dryer, you can refer to the MSD10000 dryer with the ability to dry up to 1 ton of product at a times.
The process of drying macadamia nuts usually consists of 2 stages, Of course, you can only dry in one stage to ensure high quality nuts. Normally, after being lightly dried by moderate sun shine, the nuts need to be dried with a dryer at a low temperature of 50~60oC to ensure the remaining moisture of the nuts must reach 10~20%. With such dryness, the seeds can be preserved for a long time, but the seeds cannot be eaten yet, so to eat them, they need to be put through a drying stage at 90~100oC for about 1-2 hours, The kernels of nut are not yellow, guaranteed to be white without the bad smell of essential oils. With the above drying temperature, the macadamia kernel will be white, crispy and delicious.
For other common grains such as soybeans, black beans, peanuts, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds…To dry crispy and fragrant grains, a higher drying temperature is needed, usually 110 – 140oC. Then you need to choose a group of high-temperature dryers with a drying temperature range of 35 – 160oC to ensure high quality grain drying.
So through the above basic analysis information, you have a better understanding of industrial macca nut dryers and know how to choose a dryer with a drying temperature that is suitable.
