Automatic cauliflower corer


Working principle

The machine is capable of automatically coring products such as cauliflowers, cabbages, etc., without damaging the core.
The operators disposed on either side of the machine, remove the product from the infeed belt and place it in the appropriate buckets which are fixed on the conveyor. The buckets are disposed in 4 rows.
The conveyor advances with alternate movement. The coring operation is carried out by a motorized knife. The knife penetrates inside the cauliflower depending on its dimensions. In fact each head is complete with a mechanism which determines the dimensions of the cauliflower and controls the penetration of the knife according to the dimensions of the product.
The machine is self-adjusting for product with a diameter between 130 and 240 mm. Upon request, one or two rows of the machine can be equipped with lower diameters. After the coring operation, a special device removes the core from the florets and discharges it onto the discharge belt. On the contrary, the florets fall onto the sorting belt below.
