Operating Principle

The operator places onions into the storage hopper and positions them horizontally within the conveying section. The onions are then automatically transported through the machine.

Rotating knives remove the top and tail while cutting around the circumference of the onion. The onion is then transferred to a rotating double-arm holding system where it spins around its own axis. During this process, a complete circumferential cut is made, and compressed air is directed into the cut to remove the onion skin efficiently.

The result is a cleanly peeled onion with minimal waste and consistent quality.
