There is an urgent need within a large number of onion ring cutters for a machine, which can be used in a flexible way for fruit and vegetable applications.
Long rows of men and women in white, grey or green aprons at a long table with a moving belt busy cutting onion rings by hand. This sounds like the sixties perhaps, but it is not an exception and not only in low-wage countries, but also in Western Europe and America, as the correct machine has not been available.
Many machines are of course available on the market to cut onion rings - from for instance 4.5 mm to 7 mm, or with a different tool up to a maximum 12 mm. This causes a strict limitation to the height and diameter of the onion to be cut. The surface of the onion has been bruised quite considerably as the fixed knives are pushed through it.
In cooperation with AlexanderSolia, Dofra now market an onion ring cutter, which can also cut thinner and thicker rings via a gradually adjustable knife. In this way onion rings of 1 mm to 15 mm can be cut with the same knife. In addition the knife rotates resulting in a proper cutting action and therefore the knife is not pushed through the onion.
Where conventional onion ring cutters can cut onions with a diameter of about
47 mm, this onion cutter already starts at 20 mm so that, for example, radishes can be cut in thin slices as well. And where the maximum of conventional onion ring cutters is the 100 mm thickness of the onion, this machine has no limitations, so that even cucumber rings or other vegetables can be cut.
This is also an illustration of the next advantage of this Multipurpose Vegetable Cutter; fit another tool and all kinds of fruit and vegetables can be cut in strips, rings or squares and grated or pureed. A flexibility, which makes buying this machine a simple decision for many processors.
