M&P Engineering has released details on its Large Onion Peeler.
The machine tops, tails and peels onions using self-adjusting, floating knife assemblies over a range of up to 25mm on any one setting.
It then slits the onion horizontally from top to tail. The depth of the slit is determined by onion quality and grade.
Finally, the Peeler removes the skin using compressed air, providing an end product of optimum appearance.
| Features of the Large Onion Peeling Machine: – Dry peeling process – Continuous operation – Automatic pick-up of onions from hopper – No change of parts required when varying onion size – Variable speed up to 110 carriers/minute (Normal operating speed 90 carriers/minute) – Labor requirements of 3 or 4 depending on product quality – Simple mechanism, using a tried and testing mechanical design – Raw material input rate approximately 750kg per hour using onions 75mm to 90mm diameter, 600kg per hour using onions 60mm to 80mm diameter |
| Benefits of the Large Onion Peeling Machine: – No water usage, no waste slurry to deal with, product remains dry – Simple to operate – Low labor requirement – No batch unloading process leaving peeled onions undamaged – Can work with wide range of product size and quality – No change over time between different products – High volume, high quality output – Simple to clean and maintain |
