Usage: Commercial vegetable cutting machine can be used to cut roots and stems, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, melons, onions, eggplants, into slices, strips, square cloves, etc. at once.

Features: By replacing the cutterhead, products of different specifications and shapes can be cut, with simple operation and easy cleaning; The root and stem cutting disc is made of magnesium aluminum alloy material, which is superior to most similar products.

Use process:

No-load machine test: before connecting the power supply, check whether the fasteners of the equipment are loose and whether there are foreign matters in the cutterhead. Start the machine after confirmation and run it for 1-2 minutes without load. Carefully observe the equipment for abnormal vibration, noise or jamming; Also verify that the cutter is turning in the correct direction (typically counterclockwise as viewed from the feed port). Feeding and trial cutting can be carried out after each part operates stably without abnormality.

Feeding at constant speed: After the machine runs stably, the cleaned and peeled rhizome vegetables (such as potatoes and turnip) shall be fed continuously and at constant speed from the upper feed opening of the charging barrel. The feeding speed shall be uniform and shall not be too fast or too much at one time to avoid material jam or blade damage. For larger root vegetables, cut in advance into large pieces that can be put into the hopper. The corresponding cutterhead can be replaced according to the required finished product specification (sheet, thread and header).

Automatic discharging: materials are cut under the centrifugal force of high-speed rotating cutter, and the cut pieces, wires or headers will be thrown out from the discharging opening automatically. Before operation, place the material receiving frame or butt conveyor belt under the outlet in advance, so that the finished products can be collected automatically and enter the next process. Observe whether the discharging meets the specification requirements during the processing. If not, adjust the blade or replace the cutterhead in time.

Equipment characteristics:

SUS304 stainless steel is adopted for machine frame, which is solid, durable and easy to clean. One machine for multiple purposes. Slicing, cutting, chopping and other cutting specifications can be realized by quickly changing the cutterhead. The cutting surface shall be flat and smooth, and the forming shall be regular, which can better keep the fresh vegetable tissue. Easy and safe operation, equipped with waterproof switch and door cover open and stop protection device.

Features:

Material: The whole machine is made of high-quality SUS304 stainless steel, and the body, hopper and outlet are corrosion resistant and rust-proof, meeting the hygiene standards for food processing. High-hardness stainless steel is selected as the cutter and cutter head. Through heat treatment process, the cutting edge is sharp and wear-resistant. It is not easy to roll the cutting edge when cutting roots hard vegetables for a long time, so as to ensure stable cutting quality.

Advanced centrifugal cutting technology: use the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotating cutter head to automatically and evenly throw the input materials to the cutter edge, so as to achieve continuous and fast cutting. With this technology, there is no need of manual pushing, the contact time between materials and blades is very short, the cutting section is smooth, the tissue damage is small, and the juice loss is effectively reduced. With multiple sets of blades and interchangeable cutter heads, it can easily switch the specifications of wire, sheet and butane, with high production efficiency.

Safety certification: The equipment has passed the CE, ISO9001 quality management system certification and patent certification, and is popular in Europe, Europe, America, Southeast Asia and Asia.

Versatility and durability

Processing structure (core): the core of root chopping machine is composed of rotating cutter, multiple sets of fixed cutters and replaceable cutting die. When the material enters the cutting chamber, it clings to the cutter head under the action of centrifugal force, and is instantly cut and formed through the arc cutting edge. The cutter head is equipped with a screw cutter, a slicing cutter or a header cutter set. By adjusting the blade gap or changing the die, the thickness and size of the finished product can be controlled to ensure uniform cutting and regular forming.

Drive and feeding/discharging mechanism: the power is reduced by the motor through the belt or gear to drive the spindle to rotate and drive the cutterhead to rotate at high speed. The feed inlet is designed with inclination, and gravity and centrifugal force are used to realize automatic feeding at constant speed without manual pushing. The discharge outlet is connected with the centrifugal discharge channel, and the cut materials are automatically discharged along the trend, which can cooperate with the continuous operation of the conveyor belt and effectively improve the production efficiency of the assembly line.

Modular design: the whole machine is divided into three modules: power base, cutting assembly and discharge cover, and each module is connected by quick release. When changing the cutting specification, just disassemble the cutterhead module as a whole and replace it with the corresponding thread, sheet and die, without adjusting the transmission system. The modular layout facilitates local maintenance and independent cleaning, and supports the adaptation of different power motors according to different output requirements.

Simple operation process

Check whether the cutterhead is firmly installed before startup, and confirm no abnormality after 1-2 minutes of no-load test run. Select and install corresponding cutterhead according to the required specification (sheet/thread/header). Start the machine, put pretreated rhizome vegetables from the feeding port continuously and at a constant speed, and the materials are automatically discharged from the discharging port after centrifugal cutting. Turn off the power supply after processing, remove the cutterhead and shield, clean and wipe with clean water, and pay attention to the waterproof of electrical parts. The whole process is simple and fast without professional training.
