AS 6 apple peeling and slicing machine

Maximum effectiveness and safety: perfectly peel, core and flexibly cut apples into segments and slices

The AS 6 is a peeling, slicing and coring machine for apples used in the high-care sector of industrial processing. The apples only need to be inserted and are then skewered and processed completely automatically. The machine can process three apples at the same time. Therefore, a capacity of up to 900 apples per hour is achieved, which is equivalent to approximately 135 kg (300 lb) per hour (at 150 g/apple).

Processing in four steps:

• The apples are manually placed into the product intake and pneumatically skewered onto the fruit pocket. 
• The apples are peeled and sliced if necessary.
• The core is removed and segments are cut in the same step if required.
• The finished end product is discharged separately from the waste.

Common uses:

• Peeled tidbits, i.e. slices and segments, for example for bakery products or fruit salad
• Fresh segments for fresh-cut snacks, peeled or unpeeled
• Slices or rings for dried apple slices and rings, peeled or unpeeled

The machine processes whole apples with a diameter of 55 to 85 mm (2.2 to 3.3″) and a maximum height of 80 mm (3.1″). As standard, the AS 6 is equipped with two peeling knives and a cutting tube with a diameter of 23 mm (7/8″) with a scraper. In addition, a wide range of wedging knives, slicing knives, and cutting tubes are optionally available.

If apples are additionally to be cut into cubes, the KUJ V cube, strip and slice cutting machine is a good option.
