Stump drilling machine, dual lane SBM2

Application area

Automatic stalk drilling of cabbage heads

especially for:

  • White cabbage
  • Red cabbage

Operation

An operator places the cabbage head on the pick-up plate with the stalk facing up. A visual checkpoint helps align the cabbages. The intermittent belt conveys the cabbages under the stump borer, which is located in a protected position and whose drilling depth is automatically adjusted to the size of the cabbage head. After drilling and further transport, the cabbages fall into the cutting machine or onto the subsequent transport technology.

Structure

The stump borer is designed as an independent machine. All required applications are connected with a stable metal frame. The most important elements are the two synchronously operating clocked feed belts with the pick-up points for the cabbage heads and the two stump borers. Optionally, the machine can be equipped with a blow-out device for the drill holes and a cabbage head divider.

Benefit

  • Savings in manpower
  • Reduction of heavy physical work
  • Easy cleaning
  • Less space required
