Sweet, fruity and increasingly popular all over the world
Mangoes are grown in countries in Asia and Latin America before being exported to locations worldwide – either as whole fresh fruits or as processed products such as frozen dices or dried slices.
When processing these delicate fruits, a multitude of customers in Mexico, Peru, Vietnam and many other countries in which mangoes are grown already rely on the successful results provided by the KRONEN GS 10-2 belt cutting machine with a dicing grid adapted especially for mango chunks. The cut dices are then deep-frozen (using the individual quick freezing (IQF) method) and exported to international locations.
Cutting mango dices: with perfect quality and a high capacity
The GS 10-2 cuts fresh, peeled and pitted mangoes into dices with clean cutting edges and gently discharges them from the machine. The specially developed dicing grid ensures high cutting quality and has reduced the loss rate to just 5–10 % compared to 20 % when using a regular grid insert.
The cutting machine has also significantly increased the processing capacity of the production facilities, which used to frequently cut mango chunks manually but can now process up to 1,000 kg of fresh mango cheeks every hour.
Easy cleaning and flexible application
When cutting fruits like mangoes, machine surfaces in the cutting area have to be cleaned on a regular basis. Given the high sugar content of mangoes, the GS 10-2 offers another advantage in the form of quick and easy cleaning, which can be performed in just a few minutes and requires no additional tools.
Given that the mango season only lasts a few months, the belt cutting machine is in continuous operation throughout this period, processing several thousand kilograms of mangoes every day. Outside the season, the versatility of the machine enables it to be used to process other fruits such as dragon fruit, pineapple or avocado.
Processing solutions optimized for mangoes
In addition to the GS 10-2 belt cutting machine, KRONEN also offers a number of other solutions suitable for the different stages of mango processing, for example the DECONWA Prep decontamination and washing system for the wet disinfection of whole fruits or the Mango Peeler-de-Cheeker 20 from the KRONEN partner ZTI Smart Machines. KRONEN solutions for fruit processing range from special-purpose machines to all-rounders and right through to complete processing lines. They are used in production facilities all over the globe.
With the GS 10-2 belt cutting machine, KRONEN is setting new standards in the field of mango processing and helping its customers to achieve maximum product quality and efficiency.
