3. Question 3:Are there any other aspects to choose the fruit peeler machine?
1 Question: When you have a production demand or a large order, the previous manual peeling can no longer meet the production demand and a faster machine is needed. How do you first find a reliable peeling machine, to be more specific pineapple peeling machine?
1 Answer: I usually attend industry exhibitions or communicate with people in the same industry to see if there are more advanced and reliable equipment. Of course, I will also search and watch videos online.
2 Question: What aspects do you usually look at, and how do you judge whether a certain fruit peeling machine meets your production needs?
2 Answer: First of all, we will look at the processing capacity of the machine and whether it can run continuously, because during the peak season, we need to produce continuously for 5-8 months, and sometimes even need to run continuously for 24 hours.
Then there is the effect of peeling, including the thickness of the peel, whether the surface is clean, and whether the pineapple burrs can be removed cleanly.
For example, when we make canned pineapple, we need to remove the pineapple core, because the pineapple core is very hard and affects the taste. So if a machine can peel, remove burrs and cores, it can meet our requirements, which can save a lot of steps and labor.
We have seen some economical peeling machines that can only peel the skin. Some hair holes cannot be removed or cannot be removed cleanly, and there will be leftover skin at the head and tail. This requires manual pruning.
In terms of operation, safety and simplicity are the most important. No technical background is required and it can be operated with simple training. This makes it easy for girls to operate. No engineering background is required and it is easy to operate.
Maintenance is convenient and simple is the best. In addition to daily cleaning, adding lubricating oil every month is a basic operation.
It can also achieve basic waterproofing and adapt to low temperature environments.
When problems are encountered in the early stage, if there is remote network control, the problem can be solved faster without affecting production.
Consumable parts are convenient, and of course the fewer the better, which makes maintenance easier.
3 Question: Are there any other aspects?
3 Answer: We also produce other products. For example, when we make tropical fruits, we not only need to peel pineapples, but also mangoes, papayas, cantaloupes, etc. If a piece of equipment can peel pineapples and is well compatible with other fruits, then it can be used almost all year round, and the boss will be the happiest. It’s like hiring a full-year player, paying one price, and he can do 3 or 5 jobs. It feels like great value.
It is also convenient for docking with other equipment. Because production is a continuous process, the side after peeling needs to be connected to slicing or slitting. It is best to facilitate docking with the conveyor belt, so as to facilitate continuous operation.
4 Question: Can you tell me about the pitfalls you stepped into before? I heard it was more than 6 numbers.
4 Answer: Yes, it makes me cry just talking about it. It is not easy to do food processing. We thought that European equipment was reliable and it was okay after watching the video, so we bought one. It worked fine in the early stage, but problems arose during mass production. The knife often smashed the pineapples, and sometimes the knife was damaged, forcing production to stop. Because the knives are specially made, we couldn’t find accessories locally. Later we discovered that the design itself was defective, as the uneven force caused the pineapple to get smashed and the knife to break. I originally wanted to repair it, but the cost of repairing it is also very high. Later, we heard that our colleagues were using Chinese equipment, so we went to the manufacturer and sold a large number of pineapple test machines, so that we could order one first.
