Ian Hope — Thu, 07 May 2026 14:59:20 +0000

The machine efficiently cuts both the growing tip and root of each radish, with a capacity of about 90 radishes per minute (±10%). Moreover, the machine offers the flexibility to cut only one side if needed.

Efficient cutting, maximum precision
Our innovative Radish Top and Tailer is specially designed to optimise the radish trimming process. In a smooth motion, the machine removes both the stem and the root, with an impressive capacity of approximately 90 radishes per minute (±10%). This ensures fast, consistent processing, saving you significant time and labour costs.

Vision, Robotics and AI
This machine is equipped with the latest automation technologies. With advanced vision technology and artificial intelligence, the software precisely determines the orientation of each radish. The flexible robotic arm then picks it up in the correct position and processes it with the highest accuracy and efficiency.

Flexibility to suit your needs
The machine also offers the option to cut only one side of the radish if desired. This makes the system highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of processing requirements.

Perfectly tailored to your product
The standard processing modules are designed for radishes with a diameter between 35 mm and 50 mm. Need different sizes? No problem, on request we can provide customised modules to ensure the machine fits seamlessly into your production process.

ZTI Smart Machines have, for many years, developed processing equipment and line solutions for large scale Food Processing Companies, throughout the world. Fully aware of the pressure their customers are facing around the availability and cost of skilled production staff, it was only a matter of time until they developed and delivered their first Robotic lines.
Designed for maximum efficiency and precision, this fully automated, industry-leading system revolutionises pepper processing from start to finish.

Infeed Bunker: The process starts when peppers are deposited in our loading bunker. This automated entry point ensures a steady supply of peppers into the system without interruption.

Advanced AI vision system: As the peppers travel along the transport line, they are accurately scanned by our industry-leading camera technology. This camera captures detailed images of each pepper, accurately identifying their size, shape and orientation.

Dynamic gripper control: Armed with data from our vision system, our silicone grippers come into action. Equipped with intelligent control mechanisms, these nimble grippers precisely grip each pepper according to its unique characteristics, ensuring gentle yet safe handling throughout the process.

Efficient de-coring and cutting module: Once the peppers are firmly held by the grippers, they are seamlessly transferred to our cutting and de-coring module. Within this module, a precision drill quickly and accurately removes the core of the pepper.

Versatile cutting options: Our system offers flexibility in slicing options to meet various customer needs. Whether halved or quartered, our slicing mechanism quickly transforms peppers into desired segments, ready for further processing or packaging.

Streamlined operations: With seamless integration and automated workflows, our pepper line optimises efficiency and reduces labour costs. Every step of the process is precisely coordinated for maximum productivity and quality assurance.

Endless possibilities: Whether for fresh produce departments, catering operations or culinary applications, our automated pepper line opens up endless possibilities for manufacturers and consumers, consistently delivering superior results with every processed pepper.
