Onion De-Topper
Model : CE-2463
De-topping is the post-harvest process of removing or cutting the top tail after the onions are harvested. Currently this process is carried out manually by workers who cut the top tails using a rotary or fixed blade. This is labor intensive work , time consuming and very cumbersome.
The Onion De-Topper, a first-of-its-kind machine from Concorde Engineering Works has been developed jointly with Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, (ICAR-IIHR) a premier Central Horticultural Research Institute. Following extensive testing and on-field trials, the machine has been certified for proper and complete functioning. Concorde Engineering Works has been issued a license by ICAR-IIHR to commercially manufacture and market the machines.
Highlights
Automate the currently manual process of de-topping onions
Process up to 1.2 Tons of Onions every hour
Rugged construction to withstand farm usage
Jointly developed with Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, (ICAR-IIHR)
Extensively Tested and Certified for Proper and Complete Functioning
FEATURES
Conveyor to feed Onions
The harvested onions are directly loaded onto the conveyor-based feeder in the machine.
De-topping of Onions
The conveyor feeds the onions onto a set of specially-designed Rollers which remove the stem without damaging the onions.
De-topped Onions collected in tray
The de-topped onions are pushed out by the rollers into a holding tray which can be checked for any onions that may have not been de-topped before being bagged.

Nursery Pro-tray dibbler & seeder
The Nursery Pro-tray Dibbler & Seeder allows the seeding of nursery pro-trays automatically, accurately and quickly. The Nursery pro-trays are fed into the machine and the dibbling, seeding and topping soil medium is carried out seamlessly by the machine. The machine is most suitable for dibbling & seeding vegetable seeds in to nursery trays.
The machine has been jointly developed with ICAR-IIHR a premier Central Horticultural Research Institute based in Bangalore. The machine has been thoroughly tested using different varieties and sizes of seeds and certified for commercial use. ICAR-IIHR has issued a license to commercially manufacture the machine to Concorde Engineering Works, Bangalore.
Highlights
Automate the dibbling & seeding of nursery pro-trays
Touch-screen control for easy operation
Ability to process 180-200 trays per hour
Jointly developed with Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, (ICAR-IIHR)
Extensively Tested and Certified for Proper and Complete Functioning
FEATURES
Feed pro-trays through Conveyor
The pro-trays are carried in a conveyor which is continuously indexing in steps, using a high-quality servo motor and control system
Dibbling of tray cells
Dibbling of nursery tray cells is done using a pneumatic cylinder with a row of Dibbler pegs made of Aluminium
Holding seeds for seeding
Seeds are held in a continuously vibrating tray and a series of nozzles connected with a vacuum manifold block fitted to the oscillating robotic arm picks a single seed per nozzle and drops it straight into the dibbled trays.
Seeding
The critical process of singulation of seeds is consistently achieved by an innovative vibratory tray and needles with a fine orifice for pickup, avoiding double seed pickup and missed seeds. The machine can handle a wide variety of sizes and shapes of seeds with the help of different sizes of nozzles provided with the machine.
Topping up with soil media
After the seeds are dropped , the trays are passed onto a continuously moving conveyor belt, where the topping media is spread across the pro-tray.
Touch-screen control panel
The entire process is controlled by a Programmable Logic Control (PLC). The control system is designed to be on-par with machine tool standards for continuous duty and trouble free operation. The HMI Panel allows you to change the vital parameters such as pickup-drop delay, conveyer speed and other functions.
