TENRIT SOLO C KNIFE PEELER for elongated vegetables...

The Tenrit Solo C is a knife vegetable peeling machine manufacturer recommended for carrots, cucumbers, parsnips, salsifies, and other elongated vegetables, which uses a series of peeling knives to peel these elongated vegetable products at high volume capacities, while simulating the clean, smooth look and texture of hand-peeled product.

OPERATION:

The vegetables are hand fed (the machine can also be fed with an optional v-belt, not included) into the feed end through a series of pneumatically sprung side-by-side transport roller pairs which transport the product through the machine. During this transfer the transport rollers carry the product through a gauntlet of knives at varying orientations so that the product is completely peeled during its transit through the machine. The transport rollers and peeling knives flex to conform to the shape of the vegetable passing through the machine.

SPECIFICATIONS: Manufacturer literature rates this machine for...

• Vegetable diameter from .75 to 2.5 inches (20mm to 65mm).
  
  
• Vegetable length must be 4 inches (100 mm) or longer .
  
  
• Throughput Capacity: Up to 4,000 pieces per hour.
  
  
• Yield loss to peeling: Approximately 10 to 20%.
  
  

FEATURES:

• Infeed shelf provides a working surface for aligning and staging product prior to feeding.
  
  
• Semiautomatic - hand feed, the machine does the rest.
  
  
• Knob-adjustable pneumatic pressure regulator for roller tension.
  
  
• All food grade sanitary stainless steel.
  
  
• Safety interlock system on access door, emergency safety stop switch.

FOOD PROCESS METAL DETECTOR
with BELT CONVEYOR, 20x8 opening,
stainless steel...

A Cassel Metalshark2 MULTI-FREQUENCY washdown sealed food grade sanitary stainless steel conveyorized metal detection system, for detecting and rejecting tramp metal in an industrial production line setting. Food grade sanitary stainless steel construction, particularly for industrial food processing applications, but also for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other products where product inspection for metal contamination is needed.

FEATURES:

• 7 11/16 (19.5cm) high by 20 5/8 inch (52cm) wide net USABLE aperture opening with the conveyor belt in place.
  
  
• The 304 stainless steel frame washdown belt transfer conveyor has an 87 inch (221cm) long by 17 5/8 inch (44.5cm) wide interlocking plastic chain type belt, running at a 31.5 inch (80cm) working height, with adjustable feet allowing working height to be raised up to approximately an additional 5 inches (12 cm).
  
  
• The thru-conveyor is complete with a belt-stop alarm reject configuration, and a variable speed control for the belt drive, adjustable from 16 to 75 feet per minute (approximately 5 to 23 meters per minute) belt speed.
  
  
• A food grade metal detector specifically built for food processing and other industrial production line metal detection applications. All food grade / USDA sanitary hose-wash-down stainless steel construction (IP-67/NEMA 6 search head enclosure, IP-65/Nema 4,4x,6,12 & 13 control enclosure).
  
  
• The search head is complete with integral touchpad operator controls with a 5.4 inch color screen, including RS-232 and RS-485 serial data acquisition ports, and ethernet data interface, in a stainless steel enclosure. Optional data logging software is available for tracking and reporting for HACCP and other quality assurance and certification regimes.
  
  
• 110 volt single phase (standard household current) electrical input.
  
  
• FOUR FREQUENCY LEVELS (35kHz, 75kHz, 150kHz, and 300kHz), allowing for optimal sensitivity across an exceptionally wide range of products / product types (wet, dry, salty, meat, fruits, vegetables, fresh, frozen, hot, cold, etc.) allowing for maximum versatility with the widest range of products. The optimal frequency is automatically set by the system in "product learn" mode to maximize sensitivity / minimize false rejects with your specific product.
  
  
• Sensitivity varies depending on product run, and frequency setting (determined by product characteristics), especially where wet, salty, or acidic products that are electrically conductive introduce "product effect" into the equation, however the manufacturer rates dry sensitivity for this head, with no product in the aperture, at a maximum sensitivity of 1.7mm ferrous, 2.3mm non ferrous, and 2.7mm stainless steel at 300 kHz.
  
  
• Quick teach feature learns new products in 4 to 7 passes.
  
  
• The control unit allows for 120 product presets, where product presets save the frequency setting with the other tuning data.
  
  
• Single control board technology with all control electronics on one circuit board maximizes reliability, and minimizes maintenance expenses.
