Engineered for Excellence, Designed for Your ROI.
Feeding and Pre-processing
The section uses an elevator or conveyor belt to uniformly feed whole broccoli florets, and a vibrating screen or blower performs preliminary sorting to remove some impurities and residual leaves, preparing for subsequent precise cutting.
- This ensures a continuous and stable supply of raw materials, significantly reducing manual feeding costs and labor intensity.
- It effectively removes surface impurities and lightweight debris, preventing interference with subsequent processing stages.
- This ensures the stability of the entire production line’s rhythm, creating the prerequisites for high-precision cutting.
Cutting and Flower Corolla Separation
Automated cutting based on broccoli’s physiological structure efficiently separates the main stem from the flower corolla, ensuring the integrity of the corolla’s shape. Standardized segmentation of corolla sizes can be achieved according to product specifications.
- Precise separation paths maximize the preservation of edible flower corolla while minimizing root and stem residue.
- The separation process parameters can be flexibly adjusted to consistently produce standardized corolla sizes that meet diverse market demands and satisfy varied customer requirements.
- This ensures a smooth and consistent cut surface, effectively reducing debris and significantly enhancing the final product’s marketability and value.
Bubble Cleaning
The chopped flower heads enter the bubble cleaning machine. The dense bubbles generated in the water tumble and rub against the surface, effectively separating insects and small impurities hidden within the flower heads. This is combined with flotation to remove lightweight debris.
- The bubbles effectively penetrate the dense flower heads, removing hidden impurities that are difficult to remove manually.
- The water bath buffering and bubble tumbling cleaning method is extremely gentle, avoiding physical damage to the delicate flower heads.
- Utilizing the principle of specific gravity difference, lightweight impurities are efficiently separated and removed, improving product purity.
Roller-Type Precision Grading
This roller-type grading machine achieves precise mechanized grading of broccoli corolla diameter through a progressively widening gap created between conveyor belts moving in the same direction.
- It features a purely mechanical structure, ensuring stable and reliable operation, simple maintenance, and strong tolerance to complex working environments.
- Through precisely calculated gap gradients, it can achieve accurate grading of up to 6-8 grades, resulting in extremely high sorting efficiency.
- The rotating rollers fall naturally, avoiding damage to the delicate corolla from high-pressure airflow or rigid impacts.
Packaging
Graded broccoli of different grades is transported to the collection area via its own channels, allowing direct connection to automatic packaging machines or vacuum pre-cooling machines, achieving seamless integration from processing to finished product.
- Each grade of product has its own independent output channel, ensuring uniform specifications and preventing cross-contamination.
- Standardized output height and interfaces allow direct linkage with packaging, pre-cooling, and other equipment to form a complete production line.
- Automation reduces manual contact, effectively controls microbial risks, and meets food safety production standards.
