Abstract：

    In the frozen food industry, there is a need for automated apparatus which will reliably and speedily prepare large volumes of broccoli for freezing, by separating the edible portions from the cores, while the broccolis are still in prime condition following harvesting. A commercial requirement for a relatively low-cost machine having a more modest throughput is a goal of the present design, this cutting machine can cut more than 40 head of broccolis in one minute and will save five times labor job.

Keywords: Broccoli, Floret, Cutting.
