Christiaens Agro Systems has specialised in the development and production of packaging machines for more than 30 years. The product package ranges from simple leek cutting machines up to a complete processing line for industrial use.
Leek cutting/peeling
For example, there is a very compact and simple machine for cutting leeks. First, the root base is roughly cut so that most dirt has been removed. After that, the leek is then retracted by adjustable probed disks in order to cut the roots more precisely. This cutting can be done with special blades which ensure a nicer cut.
It is also possible to build the machine with washing segment so the leeks can also be washed. Another possibility is automatic peeling of the leeks with one or more peeling rollers.
