Operation
This machine,
created to dice tomatoes, operates as follows: a porter elevator constantly feeds
peeled tomatoes to the round knife slicer, which cuts them into slices and
slides them into the dicer. Here, a suitable conveyor made of various sharp blade
grid sectors performs regular tomato dices of the requested size, thanks to the
action of a pressure roller and of an ejecting one.
Tomato dices, seeds and juice are collected by a screw positioned under the conveyor
and they are subsequently sent to the roll feeder, where seeds and juice
are separated from dices.
A suitable fan blows air onto the grid sectors and, together with the big brush
positioned below, separates possible peel tags from tomato dices. The brush is
also useful to keep the grid sectors constantly clean during the return stage,
before a new cut is performed.
The grid sector washing, quick and made in the pre-set times, is assured by an
electric pump and takes place during the return stage. The water used is never
mixed to wastes, as a suitable channel, acting as a divider, conveys it outside separating
wastes at the same time.
The dicer is available in the following formats: pitch 10x10 mm, 12x12mm, 14x14mm,
17x17mm, 20x20mm. |
