High-Capacity, Flexible Processing

The JBT Marel FTNON Sweet Pepper Decorder is designed and built to deliver maximum performance that accommodates diverse processing needs and goals:

1. Up to four bell peppers at a time can be placed manually in the clamping system by one or two operators (depending on your processing needs) from crates/boxes or by infeed conveyor (optional).
2. As the clamps close, peppers are automatically centered before the drum holding the peppers begins to turn stepwise.
3. In the first rotational step, all green stems are removed from the peppers; in the second rotational step, the machine senses the height of the peppers to set the coring depth, and pneumatic coring devices remove the pepper cores.
4. The inside of each pepper is cleaned with an overpressure air system and cores, loose seeds, and stems are collected separately via an integrated outfeed belt.
5. The cored and cleaned peppers are cut lengthwise into halves or quarters by a pneumatic segmenting section, before the cut end product is fed out underneath the machine where it can be collected by an outfeed conveyor (optional).
