Effortlessly remove strawberry calyxes with our cutting edge solution
Maximizes yield and minimizes labor costs
Based on color and shape, D-BLADE recognizes the exact position of the calyx and determines the optimal cut to achieve the highest yield. During this process, the calyx will be removed from the belt and collected in a bin outside the system. It will handle all varieties regardless of shape, color, softness and quality. D-BLADE can process 50.000 strawberries each hour, saving the industry significant labor costs.
Yield is between 80% and 95%
Depending on the size and shape the cutting efficiency is very high between 80% and 95%. The cutting performance is the most accurate by far, with a calyx cut rate of 90%.
