Semi-automatic fruit and vegetable slicer
In processing facilities where high volumes of fruits and vegetables require consistent slicing or wedging, manual methods can be inefficient and labor-intensive. Ensuring uniform cuts while maintaining high throughput can be challenging using traditional cutting techniques.
Cuts fruits and vegetables into wedges, slices, and sticks
The Sormac semi-automatic slice and wedge cutter FS-1500 is designed to efficiently cut fruits and vegetables into wedges, slices, or sticks. It operates by placing the product onto holders and starting the motor-driven cycle with dual start buttons for safety. The machine accommodates two products per cycle and can achieve a capacity of up to 1,500 pieces per hour. Cut products are transported via a conveyor, which can be set to continuous or interval mode, facilitating easy collection of the final product either manually or by containers. The FS-1500/DF variant includes a dip flume to prevent discoloration of sensitive sliced fruits such as apples. The cutter is low maintenance and easy to clean, making it a practical choice for processing lines. Available options include a transport conveyor, spiral washer, and trough conveyor to further streamline the cutting process.
