The bell pepper corer at work: The sweet peppers are placed in the bell pepper corer by hand from the supply belt or table. The machine automatically centres the sweet peppers and slices away the green stem with a circular knife.

A decoring knife removes the core and loose seeds from the sweet pepper. The decored/cleaned peppers are transported to the knife station where depending on the knife configuration they are halved, quartered or sliced into strips. Max. 36 strips possible. A cutting unit can be placed at the last but one station to slice away the top and base of the pepper and slice into three segments. At the last station the sweet peppers are spread, so that attractive squares can be cut for kebabs etc.
