Extractacore - Robotic Vegetable De-coring Systems
Our robotic cells are built from premium 304L/316L stainless steel, for uncompromising hygiene and durability. Designed to the highest food-grade specifications and fully compliant with industry safety standards, they deliver simplicity, strength, and precision. These smart machines are engineered to keep your operation clean, efficient, and ahead of the curve.
Let’s look at hand cut - versus - smart automation
- In a typical hand cut processing facility, food loss during production can be high - with typical processing yields in the region of 80% - 85%
- Meaning that along with the core, a large percentage of good or edible crop is also removed and discarded.
- Representing a minimum of 15% of the crop that does not make it to the consumer - Food loss at source!
- Smart Automation can significantly improve processor yield, by cutting food loss at source.
- Each robot can de-core 55 heads of iceberg lettuce per minute, with typical yields ranging from 92% to 97%
- Smart automation ensures near-zero food loss at source, preserving everything except the core for maximum processor yield and efficiency
In this typical example of robotically de-cored iceberg lettuce, the entire head remains fully intact - only the core has been cleanly and precisely removed.
- Powered by iconic FANUC yellow robots, our de-coring systems bring longevity and reliability to your processing line.
- Equipped with advanced AI vision and intuitive HMI controls, our robotics integrate seamlessly into your operation.
- Smart automation and real-time data analytics, optimize precision and efficiency, ensuring yields of 92%–97% while minimizing food waste.
- Extractacore empowers your facility with intelligent automation - helping to facilitate sustainable processing.
Our robots are built to dominate high-volume whole head iceberg processing, de-coring with relentless speed and precision.
A single pallet of crates? Done in under 15 minutes. With each bot powering through 55 heads per minute, Extractacore turns pallets into perfectly processed produce in record time.
Engineered for efficiency, our systems keep any salad processing line moving fast, maximizing yields and minimizing waste with every crate.
