Automatic carrot topper WOA
The singulation system positions the carrots in the trays. These trays then pass over the aligning belts, which are mounted on the underside of the machine. The aligning belts transport the carrots firstly to the left and then to the right, where they are topped or tailed depending on orientation.
Type S: carrot diameter 25 – 55 mm (1″- 2,16′)
Type L: carrot diameter 40 – 85 mm (1,57″ – 3,4″)
Depending on the execution of the machine, it is possible to cut the carrots into pre-set pieces of minimal 40 mm (1,57″) (standard 50 mm / 2″). These knives can optionally be executed in such a way that, by pushing a button, they automatically retract.
The machine is designed for easy maintenance and cleaning /sanitation and is equipped with threaded spindle motors which facilitates the lowering of the complete transport tray section in such a way as to give complete access to all internal aligning belts and cutting drive sections.
