Sweet Corn Orienter & Cutter

Application:
Hughes Sweet Corn Orienter & Cutter is a fast and e cient way of cutting sweet corn kernels from the cob.

Operation:
The system can either bemanually fed, therefore eliminating the Orienter, or fed through the use of a distribution conveyor. Ears of sweet corn are conveyed to the Orienter which uses tension to correctly orient the ear forcutting. This is achieved through the use of a tilted conveyor bringing the ears to an angled tension gate. If the ear is already oriented correctly it will drop onto the Cutter feed conveyor as is, iforiented backwards the pinch point of the gate ips the ear around while dropping it onto the conveyor. The Cutter feed conveyor brings the ear to the infeed where it is rmly gripped by rubber rolls withpins that feed the ear into the cutter knives while gaging and adjusting the knife opening to the correct diameter for each ear. The cutting head rotates at a constant speed and as the ear moves throughit removes the kernels which drop through a port for further processing. The cob is then ejected out the discharge end of the cutter for disposal.

Performance:
Hughes Corn Cutter is designed tocut up to 2 tph of husked corn. The system is available with either #2 or #3 cutting heads per the customers speci cation. The system self clears any jams via an automatic reverse system that sensesthe jam and reverses the infeed belt to clear it. An optional cob pusher is available to clear broken pieces of cob which may remain lodged in the knives when the system reverses. Lift o covers easilyexpose inner mechanisms for e cient maintenance, inspection and cleanup.
