Our factory completed the production and delivery of 1 set of chili pepper stem remover machine. The customer is a medium-sized chili sauce processing enterprise in Kyushu, Japan, which has been deeply engaged in the traditional condiment field for nearly 20 years, mainly engaged in chili sauce, fish sauce and pre-made spicy dipping sauce.
Why did the customer buy the machine?
Relying on Japan’s local pepper planting resources, the customer’s company processes 3,000-5,000 tons of fresh peppers annually. However, due to the long-term reliance on manual de-stemming (labor costs accounted for more than 40%), faced with low efficiency, the risk of mixing foreign objects and other problems.
Customer’s core demand analysis
- The Japanese pepper processing industry has long used manual sorting and de-stemming, with an hourly processing capacity of less than 0.5 tons, and manual operation is prone to breakage of peppers and foreign matter residues.
- Japan’s native peppers and small peppers come in a variety of shapes and forms, making it difficult for traditional equipment to be compatible. The customer required equipment that could handle multiple varieties of peppers.
- The customer needed to automate equipment to increase efficiency to 1.2 tons per hour and reduce raw material loss to less than 3% to meet the market’s demand for rapid delivery of customized condiments.
Advantages of pepper stem remover machine
- The razor assembly with adjustable head spacing accurately matches the stem size of different pepper varieties to avoid pulp damage.
- Automatically separates branches, leaves, mud, sand and other impurities, controlling the rate of foreign matter mixing to less than 0.1%.
- Adoption of quick-release waste collection box and food-grade stainless steel to meet the daily deep cleaning requirements of Japanese factories and reduce equipment maintenance downtime.
