This machine is the finishing step in the peeling of the tomato
and is specially designed and built for the removal of the remaining scraps of
skin left after peeling the tomato, due to
diverse factors, such as: a variety and
uneven ripening of the tomato itself.
Functioning:
The peeled tomato, coming from the peeler,
is placed in the machine, which consists of a robust stainless steel structure
on which a rubber-coated roller conveyor is mounted on special steel chains
We have two movements: the first is traslation
to transport the tomato, the second is the
rotation
of the rubber rollers, which
bring to the end special pinions which, meshing with the racks, produce a counter-rotating
movement. This movement has longitudinal
reliefs that prevent the peels from sticking to the rollers and thus they are
expelled.
To ensure the efficiency of the machine,
two brushes are used, the first of which removes the scraps of skin from the
tomatoes, which are then eliminated. The
second brush is for washing the rollers
by means of a shower made up of spray nozzles.
These operations are carried out in the return section of the conveyor.
All parts in contact with the product are
in stainless steel and sanitary rubber.
The motorization consists of crown, pinion,
chain and an electric motor.
A special stainless steel hopper allows the
tomato to be unloaded to the next machine.
This skin separator allows you to leave the
peeled tomato peeled washed and shiny and with all its best properties.
