Vegetable Processing Machinery
Engineering design of vegetable processing machinery for washing, peeling, polishing, drying and conveying in demanding food production environments.
Fabrit provided engineering design services for manufacturers of vegetable processing equipment. The projects covered the development of complete machine concepts, 3D CAD models and production-ready technical documentation for equipment operating in demanding food processing environments.
The designed machines included equipment for washing, peeling, polishing, drying and conveying vegetables such as onions, potatoes and carrots.
Challenge
Vegetable processing machinery has to combine high production efficiency with demanding requirements related to hygiene, cleanability, corrosion resistance and reliable operation in humid environments.
The equipment also has to provide safe operator access, durable construction and stable performance during continuous production.
Implemented solution
- Development of concepts for vegetable processing machines.
- Mechanical design of complete machines and assemblies.
- 3D CAD modelling of complete equipment.
- Design adapted to humid food production environments.
- Construction developed with hygiene and cleanability in mind.
- Preparation of detailed manufacturing documentation.
- Design optimisation for durability, manufacturability and operator safety.
Examples of designed equipment
- onion peeling machines,
- separators,
- drum washers for root vegetables,
- vegetable polishing machines,
- BIG-BAG and box pallet filling systems,
- potato drying equipment,
- vegetable conveying systems.
Results
The customers received complete, production-ready machine designs adapted to the requirements of the food processing industry.
The engineering documentation allowed the machines to be manufactured directly by the customers, increasing their product development capacity without the need to permanently expand their internal mechanical design teams.
