Preparation matrix
Wash, sort, peel, cut.
The columns are duties to define, not a claim that every stage is included in the listed machine range.
| Material | Washing | Sort / grade | Peeling | Cutting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrot | Brush wash after a controlled feed | Pre-sort roots; remove stones and damaged roots | Abrasive peeling if the product requires it | Cut or mash to suit the press or pulper |
| Beetroot | Brush wash; manage soil and colour load | Grade by size and remove damaged roots | Peel if the target product requires it | Cut or mash before extraction |
| Pumpkin | Wash the rind before opening | Grade and remove damaged fruit | Remove rind and seeds as a separate duty | Cut to the pulper feed size |
| Tomato | Wash whole fruit if the route starts upstream | Sort out defects and foreign matter | Peel only if the product requires it | Crush or pulp; define the starting point |
| Potato | Wash and remove soil before peeling | Grade and remove green or damaged tubers | Peel before cooking or cutting | Cut to the soup-base process |
| Pea | Wash or thaw according to the incoming state | Remove pods, skins and foreign matter | Not a typical peeling duty; define pod/skin removal | Soften or keep whole before finishing |
How to use this library
Three things to settle first.
- 01
Start with the unit operation, not the machine name.
- 02
Give the feed, target output and the basis on which output is measured.
- 03
Use the quotation to separate confirmed configuration from options and site work.
