Onion peeling machine EU certification solution | Union Machinery

In November 2023, a Bulgarian vegetable processing enterprise, through our customized onion processing solution, completely addressed three major industry pain points: low efficiency in manual peeling, high loss, and difficulty in meeting EU hygiene certification standards. These are precisely the transformation keys that global agricultural product processors are searching for.
 

In-depth Analysis of Customer Pain Points

1. Efficiency crisis
The process of peeling and removing roots requires a significant amount of labor, with an average daily processing capacity of less than 3 tons, and a peak season order loss rate of 35%

2. Quality out of control
Manual operation results in uneven peeling depth and root residue, with a product qualification rate of only 75%, leading to a persistently high customer complaint rate

3. Authentication risk
The old equipment cannot meet the requirements of the EC 852/2004 food contact material regulation
 

Solution: Tailored Automated Processing Line, From "Pain Points" to "Highlights"

Based on customer needs and onion characteristics (thin skin, easy to damage, and significant size variation), we offer a fully automated production line that integrates "cleaning, grading, peeling, root removal, and screening". The core components include:
 
1. Intelligent Sorting and Positioning System: using visual technology to accurately identify the top and tail of onions, only cutting off excess parts, with a retention rate of over 95%.
2. Significant Improvement in Production Efficiency: The processing capacity of a single production line can reach 2000-2500 kilograms per hour, which is 40% more efficient than manual labor.
3. Modular Design: Compatible with onions of different sizes (diameter 5-10cm), and supports seamless connection with cleaning, slicing, and other equipment.
4. CE Certification and Safety Protection: The entire machine complies with EU safety standards and is equipped with an emergency stop button and anti slip conveyor belt.
