We have 2 kinds of machinery at SAHARAS:

– Scoop & Serve is a Heating Dispenser from which you manually fill the cups

– The Heating Cabinet holds cups that you fill manually and place on the shelves.

– Heating Cabinet measures: 84h x 45d x 45w, weighs 26kg.

All SAHARAS machinery is very simple to operate. We made them simple so that all staff can operate them with a minimum of training. All machinery comes with a manual for installation, usage, and cleaning.

No, once you purchase the machinery from SAHARAS, it becomes your property. However, as a part of onboarding of new distributors, we do provide a number of the 2 Dispensers, which can be used for trials for new customers.

The Dispenser hold 3 x 1.5 kg. Nuts, similar to 75 servings of 60g. cups. The Heating Cabinet fits up to 9 cups on each shelf (small, medium, large), and has 4 shelves altogether.

The shelf-life for SAHARAS Nuts is 21 days when they are in the Dispenser. Up to 21 days you will still have crunchy Nuts to serve to your guests. In the Heating Cabinet, the Hot Nuts have approx. 4-5 days shelf life.

SAHARAS Nuts in 1.5 kg. bulk bags as SAHARAS retail bags have a shelf-life 10 months from production date.

Production runs are min 100,000 mini bags, but we will work with distributors to spread this across as many as possible (including other countries). This means that we cannot be specific about the minimum order as this may vary.

Cups are included in the purchase price of the nuts. You can specify the cup sizes you need. Distributors are requested to make every effort to order cups with Nut orders to avoid separate shipping.
