摘要

An apparatus for removing the calyx of red pepper and cutting the pericarp comprising a vibrating feeder, compressor, sorting conveyor, cutter and drying tray is provided. The method for washing red pepper, removing the calyx, cutting the pericarp and drying the red pepper is automatically performed, thereby allowing mass treatment of the red pepper. The apparatus for removing the calyx of red pepper and cutting the pericarp comprises: a hopper(13); a red pepper washer(1) for washing red peppers; a red pepper vibrating feeder(3) for uniformly spreading the supplied red pepper by vibration and then transferring; a red pepper compressor(5) for compressing the red pepper with a roller; a sorting conveyor(7) for separating the calyx from the red pepper and transferring; a red pepper cutter(9) for cutting the red pepper; and additionally a transfer conveyor(11). The red pepper compressor consists of an upper and lower roller in a case, a motor assembly for driving the upper roller, an elastic member for generating tension to maintain the gap between the upper and lower roller in a compressed state and a knife for preventing the adhesion of the red pepper to the upper and lower roller.
