for washing, cutting and sorting white and green asparagus
-
Basic equipment:
- Washing and cutting unit including recycling tank made of stainless steel
= no corrosion, even during longer standstills
consists of :
Mesh belt for placing the asparagus spears
Head and foot bands for aligning the spears
Blade for cutting spears to required length
Sensor control
Pump (different variants depending on requirement)
Recycling tank with 2 sieving levels
Cleaning of the complete asparagus spear with different nozzle sets,
controlled by a solenoid valve.
1st step: with recycled water from the recycling tank
2nd step: with fresh water
= improved cleaning possibility – less fresh water consumption - Camera tunnel
1. high resolution camera
= improved detection of rust, bloom, etc.
2. LED illumination
= uniform light brightness and colour AUTOSELECT - Output tray
from 6 outpur trays upwards (Width variably adaptable to box widths)
= Minimisation of asparagus breakage - Tray
particularly ergonomic design made of easy-to-clean PE material
= Minimisation of asparagus breakage
compact, low-noise turnouts (different distances possible) - Evaluation software specially developed by Hermeler
simple, fast data entry via scanner or transponder
Data storage and printout possible
Storage of different parameter sets, retrievable at any time
Programming of any number of punches or fields possible - Nozzle set for cleaning the trays and the camera tunnel Additional fresh water is sprayed into the areas of evaluation
(upper head plate, lower belt, trays)
= improved evaluation - Table made of stainless steel
for placing the asparagus spears
INDIVIDUALLY CONFIGURABLE
- Feeding belt
consists of two different belts:
1. Placement belt.
2. Vibrating belt:
for automatic alignment of the spears with “foot end down”.
Sensor between the vibrating belt and the washing and cutting unit causes 90% occupancy of the sorting boxes
Different belt lengths and other variants of placement belts available, e.g. cleated belt especially for green asparagus, head or foot belt without vibrating function, etc. - Conveyor belt
for the removal of asparagus cuttings - Switching between white and green asparagus
equipped with two different nozzle blocks
only the lower part of the green asparagus is cleaned by switching off a nozzle block
Water pressure adjustment by the control system
= no water in the green asparagus head - Second blade unit after cleaning for a precise, final cut
- Box conveyor sensor-assisted
consisting of:
a stainless steel frame construction
a plate band / plastic sheet - Roller conveyor with or without curve for further transport of the boxes, e.g. to a flow cooler
- Adaptation to structural conditions by means of
- Curve 90° or 180
- Running direction right or left possible
- a wide range of feeder and conveyor belts for efficient operating sequences
- Output tray width from approx. 180 mm, adapted to the box size
- different sorts at one output tray or distribution of one sort over several output trays
- Weighing unit
- Barcode scanner
- Water basin for boxes with unsorted asparagus
for easier placement of the asparagus spears on the feeding belt / table - Construction of sorting machine sals for other types of fruits and vegetables
Individual modifications regarding equipment, dimensions, etc. on request are possible
