Product Description
Have you ever seen an old cluster buster with a spinning rod with spikes on it? Aggressively ripping into beans as they enter the process from a truck or bunker? Shredding beans and breaking them all over?
This is not that… not at all…
The ProEx Food Bean Cluster Saber is made for green bean de-clustering. I also works on similar clustered beans, such as snap beans and wax beans.
Bean Cluster Saber Benefits
Recommended as the first step in your green bean processing line, The Bean Cluster Saber improves your downstream processing operation by performing two critical steps from one machine. The Bean Cluster Saber not only handles your first-pass cluster cutting, it also gently agitates and removes some debris coming in from the field and/or transit. That could be fragments, rocks or other undesirables.
