Operating principle
The DMA-60 has the capability to cut the potatoes into 2, 4 or 6 pieces.
The DMA-60 is free standing and constructed in stainless steel and consists of 3 major components drive mechanism, aligning rollers and a cutting section with knife block. The machine has a frequency drive system.
The drive mechanism consists of rotating aligning rollers, which are driven from both sides of the machine. The self aligning rollers have a Diablo profile, which can facilitate 4 potatoes across the width of the roller bed. The product is transported by an indexing system, which advances 3 rows forward to the cutting section.
The knife block can (optionally) halve the product on one side of the machine and produce 4 or 6 segments on the opposite side.
The cutting section can also be switched off, allowing the machine to be used as an inline conveyor.
In general the machine is set up with vibration chute for equal filling of the positioning rollers with potatoes.
