<p>The stalk remover and floret divider consists of a machine with a conveyor (7) carrying a series of bowls (6), each designed to receive one cauliflower or broccoli head to be transported to a cutting post and divided into florets by two curved blades (12a, 12b) with cutting edges (13). The blades are mounted on a sliding support moving perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor and equipped with a regulator with a power cylinder and guide columns to control the height of the blades above the bowls. Another regulator with levers and a stop screw controls the opening distance of the curved blades, which pivot about axes (20a, 20b) lying parallel to the plane of the conveyor as it travels in a continuous loop beneath one or more cutting posts.</p> |
