Industrial Slicer and Chunker for Watermelon

WML5 is composed by a Watermelon slicer and a Watermelon chunker.

Despite the traditional peeling system & technology used for other peeling machine of ABL, this unique peeling cutting technology, covered by an international patent works on a total different principle.

Watermelons that needs to be manually feed into the machine are sliced to the desired size, producing “watermelon slice” where the skin is still on.

Once loaded, the fruit size is automatically detected and once the fruit dimension is available, a guillotine knives start to slice the watermelon making sure that the two extremity are eliminated.

Thanks to the fact that the slices have still the skin on, it is extremely easy for a second operator to place the “watermelon slices” onto the second part of the machine. A camera system will individually recognize the slice dimension as well as the flash size, and thanks to that information each slice is transferred to the correct size grid blade assembly, which not only will cut the watermelon in perfectly sized chunk or spears, but it will also remove the skin.
