The Model 76 Spear Cutter was specially designed to produce high quality cucumber spears for hand packing. The machine’s unique centering technique positions each cuke precisely with reference to the cutting blades. With appropriate knives six, five, four or two slices can be made. Cukes are manually loaded into cavities in the rotary feeder turret. These are synchronized with the cuke centering chucks on the cutting turret. After the cuke falls into the chucks, the cuke is debutted to the proper length and gravity actuated plungers contact the trimmed end and pushed centered cuke through the cutting knife. Perfectly cut spears then slide down a chute to the customers conveyor.
¨ The machine will accept cucumbers up to 2-3/8” in diameter.
¨ Maximum speed: 80 cucumbers per minute.
¨ Rapid container size changeover without replacement parts.
¨ No product waste, all filling is done within the drum.
