Clean and efficient coring and dividing: up to 3,360 peppers per hour
The PDS4L from KRONEN's partner Hitec Food Systems is optimized to core peppers and divide them into two or four segments. The peppers, with their stalks, are placed onto the cyclic product infeed, a cleated belt made of stainless steel plates. Four peppers are processed per cycle in the standard version, and 14 cycles per minute are run. The peppers are transported to the cutting bridge at a set speed. The cutting bridge is also synchronized for the cycle, in which it cuts and cores the peppers in one step. In this process, the core is pushed through the product infeed plates with the stalk facing downwards and discharged to the side via the firmly mounted waste belt. The cut and cored product falls either into crates standing on a holder or directly onto a conveyor belt.
The coring knife has a diameter of 57 mm. A set of knives for halving or quartering is included in the standard version.
Product requirements:
- Pepper diameter: 75–120 mm
- Stalk length: max. 75 mm
- The machine processes bell peppers but not long peppers.
