With the arrival of the strawberry season, the food industry faces the
challenge of processing this delicious fruit efficiently and homogeneously.
Traditionally, removing the calyx from strawberries, that is,
the removal of their green leaves and the cutting in specific formats, has
depended entirely on the effort and the manual skill of operators.
This work, in addition to being tedious, entails a variability in the quality of
the final product and a significant decrease in productivity at the end of the
working day.
Innovation and efficiency
in automatic strawberry
calyx removal
In this context, Teycomur Maquinaria, aware of the needs of strawberry
processors, offers its customers a cutting-edge automation technology for calyx
removal. This is Seditec’s automatic calyx remover lines recently arrived in
our used machinery stock, which promises to
revolutionize the strawberry processing industry.
The MCF-500
strawberry calyx remover line represents a significant
technological leap, allowing complete process automation. Thanks to its
automatic feeding system, the strawberries are processed individually, ensuring
an effective separation of the fruit and waste. This results in an optimal calyx
removal and prepares the fruit
for further processing or freezing with the highest quality.
This machine stands out for its flexibility and high degree of automation,
the MCF-500 line greatly simplifies the strawberry calyx removal process. Its innovative design and
stainless steel construction facilitate cleaning and ensure hygienic processing
of the cutters. This line has two independent loading zones and a processing capacity of up to 2,400
kilos per hour distributed in 6 machines.
It can be operated by only 9
operators. This represents an 85% reduction in labor required for this process, allowing companies
to recoup the investment in less than two years.
This system
not only optimizes the cut of the strawberry calyx, but also keeps the fruit oriented and
fixed during the process, achieving precise and flat cuts. The result is an end
product of excellent performance and quality, with minimal calyx waste (about
9%) and product yield between 85% and 95%.
Cost
reduction and quality improvement
Teycomur’s second-hand automatic strawberry calyx
removers, in addition to being in optimal conditiond, represent a
