Topping, tailing and cutting

The Top/Tail and Plug-Cutting Machines - TTP is expertly designed for topping, tailing, and cutting long products like carrots, parsnips, corn, cucumbers, leeks, chicory, spring onions, and zucchinis into uniform pieces. The machine features a flat conveyor belt for product feed and a belt with flights where the products are precisely positioned for cutting. As the products are placed between the flights, they are transported to the first circular blade for cutting, with an adjustable guide allowing for top and tail sizes ranging from 0 to 40 mm. After decapitation, the products are moved to a set of circular blades to be cut into uniform pieces. For added versatility, an optional second set of blades can be installed to achieve different cutting sizes. The machine is designed with hygiene and efficiency in mind, featuring a waste chute for disposing of tops and tails, a hygienic control cabinet with emergency stop buttons, and an optional HMI for easy operation. Additionally, the capacity can be expanded by equipping the machine with two belts with flights on both sides of the conveyor belt and an extra-wide cutting unit, effectively doubling the throughput without requiring an additional machine.
