Automatic Mango cutting-dicing line

Neubauplan Machine Design Studio has designed an automatic raw-mango cutting and dicing line for the medium and large-scale pickle industry. The machine line can easily process 1 tonne of mangoes per hour. The Indian raw mango is a fruit that is virtually impossible to cut using standard fruit-and-vegetable cutting machines, as unlike other vegetables, it does not compress at all. The line consists of three machines, the slicer, the de-coring conveyor, and the dicer. The slicer cuts the hard fruit into slices of uniform thickness, and then puts the slices on a conveyor, where the bitter core (seed) is removed manually, as this cannot be automated. After de-coring, the slices are automatically fed into the dicer where they are cut into uniform-sized cubes, ideal for quick and predictable pickling. The machine can process fruits of any size up to a maximum and degree of hardness. The machine uses 7-10 kW of 3-phase power and doesn"t need any compressed air. All parts in contact with the fruit are made of rust-resistant steels or synthetic inert materials. The feeding of the mangoes is fully automatic, thus keeping the operator safely away from the knives. The machine can easily be cleaned by a water hose without trapping any fruit pieces, and conforms to the GMP standards for the food industry. It is virtually noiseless and maintenance-free. The design is also available for outright sale to a manufacturer.
