Commercial Leafy Vegetable Dicing Machine: The Ultimate Solution for Bulk Greens Processing
The size and scale of commercial processing for leafy greens is particularly challenging. Cabbage, lettuce, spinach and celery are all fragile vegetables that are easily
bruised, wilted or crushed if they are not processed gently. These types of vegetables also require a significant amount of effort to process manually into a consistent,
uniform diced or block cut.
Hexu Machinery has developed a solution to help mitigate this bottleneck with its custom Commercial Leafy Vegetable Dicing Machine which is specifically designed to
process leafy vegetables in a clean, consistent block or square fashion. This machine has been engineered with precision-targeted functionality to focus solely on producing
the highest quality finished product for processing greens, making it one of the most beneficial machines for central kitchens, salad preparation operations and vegetable packaging facilities.
Targeted Application: Creates Perfect Block Cuts of Leafy Greens
The unique blade configuration was designed to provide a highly specialized, customized blade set that is only intended for use in cutting leafy vegetables into block format.
Best Use Cases: The perfect application of this machine and its blades is for dicing cabbage used in coleslaw or for stuffing dumplings; for chopping green and romaine lettuce
used in bulk salad preparation; and for cutting kelp, spinach and/or celery into consistently-sized sections.
What This Machine Was Not Designed To Do: This specialized blade configuration is not suitable for cutting hard-root vegetables (such as carrots or potatoes) and cannot be
utilized to cut meat products.The machine is specifically designed to cut only leafy green vegetables, so it will not tear or bruise them like multi-purpose cutting equipment does.
This means that your leafy greens will be kept fresh, crisp and looking great.
Main Features of Your Greens Processing Line
1. Smart Conveyor That Mimics Manual Hand-Cutting
The machine has a food grade conveyor that is thicker than standard conveyor’s, and uses a press-type feeding mechanism to help preserve the integrity of the delicate leafy green
vegetables. The conveyor accurately represents the fragile nature of the leafy greens in terms of providing stabilization during the feeding process, and closely mimics the gentle and
precise manner in which they would be cut by hand if someone were actually cutting them.
2. Dual Frequency Speed Control
To maintain cutting height accuracy, precise timing will be required in order to achieve just the right block size. The dual frequency speed control system of the Hexu will provide
operators with the ability to control both the cutting rotation and the conveyor feeding speed independently. Therefore, if an operator wishes to adjust their cuts closer or further apart,
they will have the ability to control these two speeds so that they may produce any desired customized height of block cuts.
3. Wet-Sharpened, Custom Steel Blades
Due to the fibrous nature of many leafy greens, sharpness of the blades used to cut them is critical in order to prevent the edges of the greens from being ragged. The steel blades
manufactured by the manufacturer are of the highest quality and have been subjected to a professional wet-sharpening process which guarantees that the blades are ready to shear through
the leafy greens without any problem whatsoever. The layout of the blades on the machine ensures that every single batch of leafy green vegetables will be evenly diced into blocks.
4. Intelligent Control & Improved Safety for the Operator
The operator safety of the machine is very high as there is a completely independent control system that requires no operator training at all in order for the person to be able to operate the
machine in an efficient and safe manner. The hardware design includes a safety switch on the discharge door frame so that, if the door is opened while the machine is still running, the motor
of the machine will instantly stop, therefore reducing the likelihood of an accident while cleaning or performing routine maintenance.
Complete Upgrade to the Way You Prepare Vegetables and Salads
Investing in a dedicated block cutter for cutting leafy green vegetables, instead of utilizing a multi-purpose machine for cutting all vegetables will rewards your organisation with a significant
reduction in food wastage, elimination of high labour costs, and consistent cutting that will keep your customers returning for more.
