Operating Principle

Onions are automatically singulated and transported from the infeed hopper onto the transport chain. The operator positions the onions horizontally while the machine automatically performs the peeling process.

Rotating knives remove the top and tail while cutting around the onion circumference. The onion is then transferred to a rotating double-arm holding system where it spins around its own axis, creating a complete circumferential cut.

Compressed air is directed into the cut surface to efficiently remove the onion skin, resulting in a clean and consistent peel with minimal waste.
