Product fixtures for larger products ensure optimum cutting quality
The Tona Rapid XL processes larger fruit and vegetable products with a maximum diameter of 130 mm and a maximum height of 220 mm. It can be used to efficiently cut products such as pineapples, beets, oranges or eggplants/aubergines into slices, segments or cubes. The cutting machine is particularly suitable for fruits and vegetables that must remain in a certain alignment during the cutting process in order to ensure perfect cutting results.
The products are manually placed into the double-row product holders and remain in this alignment as they are transported through to the cutting process. The automatic cutting process takes place pneumatically, after which the good product and waste are separated during discharge from the machine.
A specially adapted version of the cutting machine has been developed for the processing of pineapples. In this version, the cutting out of the stalk and the peeling and slicing procedures are carried out in two steps to enable optimal discharge of the good product and waste from the machine.
