Vegetable preparation station for six employees

Streamline your vegetable processing workflow with a station designed to efficiently prepare and transfer produce to cutting machines, ensuring smooth operations and minimizing waste.

Prepares and Processes Vegetables for Efficient Cutting

The Vegetable Preparation Station VPS-6 from The Food Machinery Company is a robust solution tailored for industrial food processing environments, specifically designed to enhance pre-processing and cutting operations. This station integrates seamlessly into your production line, positioned before a belt cutting machine, to efficiently prepare vegetables for subsequent slicing and dicing tasks. Accommodating up to six operators, each with individual crate holders and cutting boards, the VPS-6 allows for the organized presentation of vegetables on its upper conveyor belt. This configuration ensures smooth transition to the cutting machine, optimizing workflow and reducing manual handling errors.

Key features include a two-belt system for effective waste management, where waste material is diverted onto a lower belt and transported to a collection container, minimizing contamination risk and enhancing hygiene. Operating at a speed of 0.21 m/s for the upper belt and 0.38 m/s for the lower belt, this system ensures continuous processing in demanding environments such as food processing companies, large-scale catering services, and ready meal production facilities.

Constructed from durable materials, the VPS-6 delivers dependable and resilient performance, suitable for processing a variety of products like chopped carrots, sliced cucumbers, and vegetable medleys. With dimensions of 4040 x 1000 x 1060 mm and powered by a 0.37 kW motor, this equipment is engineered for longevity and reliability, offering food processors an optimized and sustainable solution for vegetable preparation.
