New floretting machine for broccoli, cauliflower on show

The Floreto is an innovative product from Sweere, which efficiently de-cores broccoli and cauliflower. It features a continuously running intake belt combined with a motional knife construction capable of higher capacity and more precision while ensuring increased lifespan of the knives. Due to innovative solutions, the machine is capable of seamlessly switching between floretting various vegetables by simply pushing of a button. 

The product is manually fed into the machine with the core pointing upwards; after which it is de-cored applying vegetable specific procedures. The florets and waste material leave the machine separately ensuring the best possible end product.

Procedure:

For cauliflower the standard unit cuts in two steps: 

1. A fixed knife cutting the outer florets

2. An additional knife cutting the florets on the top of the head

When the machine is set up for broccoli it applies only the second step.

The latest innovation is the newly engineered automatic knife diameter selection for cauliflower. It applies sensor technology which determines the size of the heads. This optional kit allows to get more homogenously sized florets when size of cauliflower heads vary.

Adding the automatic knife diameter selection makes the Floreto capable of correctly floretting varying crop sizes. With this technology the Floreto automatically selects the optimum knife diameter to cut the outer florets, increasing the yield and quality of the florets.

 

Features: 

*Broccoli 900-1400kg florets/hour. 

Cauliflower approximately 2000kg/florets/hour (depending on the size of the heads)
