Macadamia Processing Facility Design in Hoedspruit

Dehumidified drying silos, controlled-humidity kernel stores and insulated envelopes that hold stable low-RH conditions year round. Purpose-built for macadamia producers around Hoedspruit.

The problem

Why macadamia is demanding

Macadamia value is destroyed by moisture and rancidity, not by heat alone — humidity control matters as much as temperature.

Our approach

How we build for it

Dehumidified drying silos, controlled-humidity kernel stores and insulated envelopes that hold stable low-RH conditions year round.

Storage envelope

Macadamia specifications

Storage temperature10 °C to 15 °C for nut-in-shell, 0–5 °C for kernel
Relative humidity55–65% RH
Typical shelf life6–12 months at controlled moisture
Harvest seasonMarch to August
RegionHoedspruit, Limpopo
What temperature should macadamia be stored at?

10 °C to 15 °C for nut-in-shell, 0–5 °C for kernel at 55–65% RH, giving roughly 6–12 months at controlled moisture. We set and verify these bands during commissioning.

When is the macadamia season around Hoedspruit?

March to August. We plan installations and major maintenance outside that window wherever possible.

Can you expand our existing Hoedspruit facility?

Yes — we audit the current envelope and plant capacity first, then add chambers or pre-cooling without redesigning the whole site.
