High-Capacity, Flexible Processing
The JBT FTNON Sweet Pepper Decorder is designed and built to deliver maximum performance that accommodates diverse processing needs and goals:
- Up to four bell peppers at a time can be placed manually in the clamping system by one or two operators (depending on your processing needs) from crates/boxes or by infeed conveyor (optional).
- As the clamps close, peppers are automatically centered before the drum holding the peppers begins to turn stepwise.
- In the first rotational step, all green stems are removed from the peppers; in the second rotational step, the machine senses the height of the peppers to set the coring depth, and pneumatic coring devices remove the pepper cores.
- The inside of each pepper is cleaned with an overpressure air system and cores, loose seeds, and stems are collected separately via an integrated outfeed belt.
- The cored and cleaned peppers are cut lengthwise into halves or quarters by a pneumatic segmenting section, before the cut end product is fed out underneath the machine where it can be collected by an outfeed conveyor (optional).
