Matrix multi-product cutting machine

The Matrix broccoli and cauliflower floretting machine by Ait, cut the broccoli and cauliflower into florets and de-core other products such as cabbage. It is the first machine in the world to use Machine Vision together with an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm to determine the exact diameter of each head, on the basis of which it makes a customised cut for each head, which increases the yield and efficiency obtained in the cutting process while minimising waste, and allows better control of the size of the final product.

At the same time, having been trained by Machine Learning procedures, it identifies which product is entering the machine to decide which set of blades to use for the cut, automatically.

The size detection and automatic customised cutting also avoids other process tasks such as pre-calibration of the raw material by size.

Thanks to our new patented intelligent cutting system, the Ait MIXTA and MATRIX broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, romanesco and iceberg cutting machines are the only ones able to make a personalised cut automatically for each head.

It reduces labour requirements, allowing the processing of large quantities of product with a reduced cut, with guaranteed robustness, efficiency and reliability.
