Discover what we do
The process of shelling and preparing the Brazil Nuts is rigorous and detailed to obtain a good final result
Reception
Brazil nut in shell are brought from all over the Amazon. We carry out samplings in every batch.
Shell Drying
We use rotary ovens at suitable temperatures to dry the nuts and soften the shell.
Steaming
The shells undergoes a cycle of steam (high pressure and temperature) which separates internally the nut from its shell.
Hand Peeling
Every nut is peeled manually, meaning less nuts are cracked or chipped.
Size sorting
We sort nuts in different sizes to get a homogeneous drying.
Drying
Nuts are dried in statics ovens at suitable conditions of temperature, humidity and air speed.
Final Selection
Quality control by which any foreign matter or damaged nut are discarded, also samples are taken in this stage.
Packing and Storage
The plastic bags (containing 20 Kg of nuts) inside carton boxes are vacuum sealed, closed and then stored at our warehouse.
Distribution
FIFO method is used for all brazil nuts exports, which are sent all over the world.
HOW WE DO IT?
- Trained personnel: 80% of our workforce are women.
- Minimum use of water: Water is treated and recycle to be reused by our machines.
- Minimum waste: All of the shell waste generated during the peeling process is used as fuel for our boiler which creates steam to run all the machines. All of the dust generated during the shell drying process is given to our partners to be used for agriculture (compost).
- We have environmental quality standards (Program Implemented).
- The only facility in Puerto Maldonado to have the latest drying technology, which let us set the correct parameters to get premium quality nut (Taste and Crunch).
- Traceability system using Georeference software which let us manage our processes and our team.
