Onion Root Cutter
The onion root cutter, also called the onion top and root remover, is a specialized machine for fruit and vegetable preprocessing. Shuliy’s onion root cutter not only removes roots but can also peel onions, offering multiple functions in one machine.

It uses a semi-automatic induction cutting method, allows continuous feeding, and runs steadily, replacing manual work efficiently.
This onion root cutter can also handle other fruits and vegetables that need top and root removal, like lemons and kiwis. It is ideal for farmers’ markets, onion processing factories, ready-to-cook food factories, and individual onion processors.
It processes onions as small as 5 cm in diameter, with no limit for larger ones, and reaches 500 kg per hour. Made entirely of stainless steel, the onion root cutting machine is durable and easy to clean.


Applications of the Onion Root Cutter
Fruit and Vegetable Processing Factories
Used for primary processing of onions and other fruits and vegetables, improving the standardization of raw materials before the next production step.

Pre-made Meal Processing
In pre-made meal production lines, the onion root cutter serves as a pre-processing machine, ensuring uniform size and neat appearance of raw materials, which facilitates subsequent slicing, dicing, or seasoning.
Clean Vegetable Processing
Suitable for central kitchens and clean vegetable processing companies, it quickly removes roots and tops, reduces manual contact, and improves food safety.

How Does the Onion Root Cutter Work?
The onion root cutter works by independently driving the top-cutting blade and the root-removing blade. When an onion enters the mold hole, the root is gently pressed and precisely removed by the root blade. At the same time, the top of the onion is cut by the top blade as it moves into position in the mold hole.
The root cutting depth and top cutting length can be adjusted according to processing requirements. The removed onion tops and roots fall into two separate discharge boxes for easy collection and further processing, enabling efficient and stable continuous operation.

Components of the Onion Machine Cutter
The onion machine cutter features an automated design and consists of the following main parts:
Main Body
Made of stainless steel, the body is sturdy and suitable for continuous operation.

Blade System (Food-Grade Stainless Steel)
Blades are configured as top-cutting and root-removing types according to processing needs. They precisely cut onion tops and remove roots, ensuring hygiene and safety.
Motor
Provides independent or coordinated drive for the top and root blades. Speed is adjustable to meet different production requirements.
Reducer
Adjusts output speed and torque, ensuring smooth cutting and reducing equipment wear.
Transmission System
Transfers power and coordinates the operation of all components, ensuring efficient and stable performance of the machine.
