Corn Cutter for Sweet Corn Kernels

Our sweet corn kernel cutter is perfect for your frozen and shelf-stable (canned / jarred) sweet corn applications. It strips off kernels from already husked cobs of sweet corn.  

Product Description

Our Sweet Corn Cutter is a fast and efficient way of cutting sweet corn kernels from the cob, post husking.

If you are looking to top and tail cut or create cobettes / medallions, please see our iNTELLIPRO® SAW.

This unit is designed to be hand-fed. The Cutter conveyor brings the ear to the infeed where it is fed into the cutter knife assembly.  The cutting head rotates at a constant speed and as the ear moves through it 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:

Hand-Fed Corn Cutters often reach a real-word throughput of 60-80 cobs (ears) per minute, based on typical operator speeds.

By default, we ship with #2 cutter heads. These utilize a simpler, easier to maintain cutter head. These heads can still have their opening aperture adjusted at the head assembly. Lift off covers easily expose inner mechanisms for efficient maintenance, inspection and cleanup.
