Every machine in this line exists because manual pumpkin processing has a specific bottleneck. Here's what each one fixes.
| The problem: | How it works: | Specifications: |
| Pumpkins straight from the field carry caked soil, clay, and organic debris. A quick hose-down doesn't cut it — you need mechanical scrubbing. But you also can't afford to bruise the skin, because broken skin shortens shelf life and invites bacteria. | Rotating nylon bristle rollers scrub the pumpkin surface while overhead spray bars rinse away loosened soil. The combination of mechanical brushing and continuous spray ensures thorough cleaning even on irregular surfaces. |
What does it mean to you?
★ Handles heavy mud — brush + spray combination tackles field soil that bubble washers alone can't remove
★ No skin damage — bristle stiffness is calibrated to clean without breaking the skin
★ Continuous throughput — pumpkins move through on rollers, no manual intervention between load and unload
● Model B: Bubble Spray Washer — For Finishing and Lighter Soil
| The Problem | How it works | Specifications: |
| You need a gentler wash for pumpkins that are already relatively clean, or a finishing wash after the brush stage. Manual hose washing wastes water and labor. | High-pressure air injected into a water tank creates millions of micro-bubbles. The bubble agitation scrubs the pumpkin surface evenly — including crevices and stem cavities that brushes can miss. A spray bar provides the final rinse as pumpkins exit. Water recirculates through a filtration loop, cutting consumption by roughly 40% versus single-pass hose washing. |
What does machine mean to you?
★ Gentle enough for post-peel washing — won't damage exposed flesh
★ Cleans crevices brushes miss — bubbles reach stem cavities and irregular surfaces
★ Water-efficient — filtration recirculation reduces water usage significantly
★ Low power draw — 3.55 kW, about half of the brush model
Peeling Station (3 Models)
| The problem | How it works | Specifications: |
| You want to move away from manual peeling but have moderate throughput needs and a limited budget. You process elongated pumpkin varieties that are relatively easy to machine-peel. | The pumpkin is mounted on a rotating spindle. A blade arm follows the pumpkin's surface profile, peeling from top to bottom in a single pass. The operator loads and unloads — everything else is automatic. |
What it means to you?
★ Lowest upfront investment of the three peeler models
★ Compact footprint — 700 × 700 mm, fits tight production floors
★ Simple operation — one operator can manage the machine alongside other tasks during the peeling cycle
★ 2–4 pumpkins per minute — replaces approximately 2–3 manual peelers
| The problem | How it works | Specifications: |
| You need higher throughput than a single-head machine can deliver. You process multiple pumpkin varieties — round, oval, and elongated — and you can't afford to retool between batches. You're losing 15–20% of flesh weight to manual peeling and labor costs keep rising. | Two peeling heads operate in overlapping cycles. While Head A finishes peeling, the operator loads the next pumpkin onto Head B — and vice versa. There is zero idle time between cycles. The blade follows each pumpkin's individual contour, not a fixed cutting path, which is why flesh waste stays under 8%. |
What it means to you?
★ 6–8 pumpkins per minute — replaces approximately 6–8 manual peelers in a single machine
★ Handles three shape families — round (baby pumpkin), oval (butternut), elongated (cream pumpkin) — no retooling required between varieties
★ Flesh waste under 8% vs. 15–20% manual — on a typical 5,000 kg daily throughput, that's 350–600 kg of pumpkin saved every single day
★ Blade replacement under $80, under 5 minutes — minimal downtime
★ Fully enclosed cutting chamber — no exposed blades during operation, meets workplace safety standards
Model C: Flat Pumpkin Peeler — The Specialist
| The problem | How it works | Specifications: |
Large flat pumpkins ( kabocha, certain heirloom varieties) are the hardest to automate. Their wide, flat profile means conventional peelers either skip the skin entirely or gouge deep into the flesh. Most processors still peel these by hand — at roughly 20 minutes per pumpkin. And because the skin is thick, manual peelers waste even more flesh than usual. This is the machine we built specifically to solve that problem. | Our proprietary Contour-Following Blade System is the core innovation. Instead of cutting a fixed depth, the blade arm reads the pumpkin's surface geometry in real time and adjusts continuously. It follows curves, dips, and ridges — staying precisely on the peel line without digging into the flesh. This is patented technology. A 30 cm flat pumpkin that takes 20 minutes by hand is done in 20 seconds on this machine. |
What it means to you?
★ 60× faster than manual peeling — 20 seconds vs. 20 minutes per pumpkin
★ Contour-following blade system — patented technology that follows the pumpkin's natural shape; significantly less flesh waste than both manual peeling and conventional straight-blade machines
★ Purpose-built for flat pumpkins — conventional peelers simply do not work on this shape; this machine was designed from scratch for it
★ Thick-skin capable — flat pumpkin skin is tougher than other varieties; the blade and motor are specified accordingly
| The problem | How it works | Specifications: |
| You can't feed a whole peeled pumpkin into a dicing machine. It's too large, too irregular, and it will jam the feed chute while producing uneven cubes. You need to break it down into uniform segments first. Manual splitting with a knife is dangerous and inconsistent. | The peeled pumpkin is placed into the cutting chamber. A blade assembly descends, splitting it into the configured number of uniform wedges in a single motion. The wedges exit cleanly and are ready for the dicer or for packaging as fresh-cut product. |
What it means to you?
★ Standardizes input size for the dicer — this is the single most important factor in dice uniformity
★ Prevents dicer jams — no oversized chunks crashing the cutting grid
★ Extends dicer blade life — pre-cut wedges are far gentler on the cutting mechanism than whole pumpkins
★ Interchangeable split counts — switch from 4 to 8 wedges when you switch from large to baby pumpkins
★ Compact — 54 kg, 850 × 700 mm footprint. Doesn't need its own room.
| The problem | How it works | Specifications: |
| Deseeding pumpkins by hand is slow, messy, and produces inconsistent results. Cavity fibers left behind contaminate your finished product. If your end market requires clean, seed-free pumpkin pieces (common for food service and retail), manual deseeding is a bottleneck. | Two stations operate simultaneously. The operator aligns the pumpkin's core cavity with the center coring tool. The machine automatically excavates seeds and cavity fibers in a single motion. The pumpkin is then passed to the next station (wedge cutter or packaging). |
What it means to you?
★ 60–80 pumpkins per minute — keeps pace with high-volume peeling and cutting
★ Dual-station design — two pumpkins processed simultaneously
★ Clean extraction — removes seeds and fibers in one motion, no secondary cleaning needed
★ SUS304 construction — food-safe, easy washdown
| The problem | How it works | Specifications: |
| You need small, uniform cubes for frozen pumpkin packs, ready-meal kits, canned pumpkin cubes, or baby food. Manual knife dicing cannot achieve consistent size at any meaningful throughput. |
What it means to you?
3 mm and 4 mm dice sizes — the standards for frozen and canned pumpkin products
500–1,200 kg/h throughput — handles commercial volumes
Multi-vegetable capable — also cuts carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, mangoes, apples, taro. Your machine works year-round, not just during pumpkin season.
Full washdown access — cutting chamber opens completely for sanitation between batches
