Onion Peeling Line

Backus Foodtec is the major supplier of processing machinery for fresh vegetable produce such as the onion peeling line. Years of experience and many successfully initiated projects have given Backus Foodtec an enormous wealth of valuable knowledge concerning processing fresh produce.

Our onion peeling line gets right to the roots of vegetable processing. No other company can rival the in-depth understanding of Backus Foodtec when it comes to the specific traits of potatoes, onions, carrots, gherkins, leaf vegetables, lettuce, herbs, celeriac, beetroots and sweet peppers.

The combination of many years of successful machine design and the in-depth knowledge of fresh vegetable produce makes the onion peeling line of Backus Foodtec unique!

The onion peeling line at work: the topping and tailing knives are attached to arms which are automatically opened by the onion, and adjust to the size of each onion. This action checks, tops and tails the onions. To make removal of the outer skin easier, the onions are then transported through a cutting system. The first knife makes an incision at the back of the onion, the second at the front of the onion.

The cutting depth can be easily configured to enable one or even two layers to be removed, depending on the required peeling quality.  A double-armed system removes the topped/tailed and horizontally incised onions from the transport chain cups. The arms rotate the onion on its own axis.
