Where It's Used
Onion processing plants trimming root stubs automatically ahead of peeling or cutting. For the full fresh-produce range, see the fruit and vegetable processing hub.
FAQ
The small unit trims 1,000 onions per hour at 0.37 kW. The standard reaches 2,500 per hour at 0.75 kW with optical root positioning, and the industrial 5,000 per hour at 1.5 kW with continuous rotary feed. Match it to the peeler downstream so root cutting never becomes the line’s slowest station.
No, it specializes in the root end. Top and stem removal happens in the onion peeler, which cuts top and tail as part of peeling. Together the two machines deliver complete top, tail, and skin removal, and that division of labor is deliberate: one blade path per task keeps both accurate.
The cut depth runs 2 to 5 mm, removing the root pad with minimal flesh, which is what auto-positioning buys you: the optical system finds the actual root position per onion rather than cutting to a fixed depth for the largest case. Onion size range spans 40 to 120 mm via adjustable guide plates.
Yes, with the small-size guide attachment that centers shallots properly in the cutting station. Shallots and small onions otherwise under-position on the standard guides and trim unevenly. If small alliums are a major share of your intake, order the attachment with the machine rather than as an afterthought.
The SUS420J2 hardened blade set is good for over 500,000 onions. At industrial rates that is a multi-month consumable cycle, and the change is a routine maintenance job. Inspect blades weekly for chips, since a damaged edge on root cutting can drag soil contamination into the cut face.
Yes. We provide installation and commissioning support, and 12 months of after-sales service, including spare parts help and technical response.
