Suitable for
Onions
As the market leader in onion peeling machines, the TopNotch distinguishes itself with a revolutionary automatic orientation and coring system for calibrated onions. Utilizing vision technology, the machine precisely positions each onion with unparalleled accuracy. The unique coring system removes only the top and tail, preserving maximum yield. Designed for large-scale production, capable of handling up to 12,000 onions per hour, the TopNotch onion peeling machine ensures unparalleled peeling quality.
How it works:
Elevator belt
Executed with special cups, producing a 99-100% fill rate.
Notching station
Notching station can be tailored to the quality of the product and has an adjustable depth.
Coring system
Unique upper and lower vertical coring system increasing yield up to 10%.
Peeling station
With minimal compressed air, the TopNotch removes the onion skins, leaving a perfect final product.
UNIQUE VISION TECHNOLOGY AND CORING SYSTEM
A vision technology camera system positioned above the orientation station captures images of the onions placed in the orientation system. These images are processed by a computer, determining the location of the onion’s top and tail. The orientation station rotates the onions until they reach their correct position.
With this precise positioning, the onion peeling machine equipped with its unique coring system, removes only the onion top and tail which results in a 10% yield increase compared to other systems. Minimal pressure is applied during coring, preserving the onion’s shape, contributing to extended shelf life and facilitating further processing.
ACCURATE AND UNIFORMLY PEELED onions
Unlike a continuous flow, the TopNotch onion peeling machine employs a start-stop system, achieving maximum control over the peeling process. Onions progress through various stations on indexing plates, from orientation to peeling. Each step is meticulously executed to ensure an accurately and uniformly peeled end product. This precision is crucial for delivering high-quality onions that meet the strictest hygiene standards.
With its innovative design, the TopNotch onion peeling machine represents industrial precision, maximum yield, and operational convenience. Experience the revolution in onion processing and elevate your production to a higher level.
