2. MANGO CUTTING PROJECT
SIA GOAL 8.6.3
PROPOSE AND INDUCT NEW
AUTOMATED MANGO CUTTING
LINE.

3. PROJECT INITIATION
PRESENT MANUAL CUTTING SYSTEM:
Not compliant to either GMP/OSHAS standards .Highly unhygienic
and accident prone operation.
 Accident Frequency was alarmingly high.
24 hrs of cutting operation was not possible with female cutting
workers.
 Unavailability of female cutting workers.
 Manual cutting cost is Rs 3.38/kg.
AUTOMATED LINE:
Machine cutting cost is Rs 1/kg.
Savings through machine operation are Rs 2.38 /kg.

simultaneous actions of rotation and
hammering

25. Conveyor(Seed Separator to Vibrator)
• Convey mango slices from seed separator to
vibrator.

26. VIBRATOR
• Drop mango slices to ribbed conveyor with
specific position and orientation.

27. CONVEYOR(Vibrator to Small Cutting)
• Convey mango slices from Vibrator to Small
Cutting with specific orientation

28. SMALL CUTTING
• Cut mango slices into further small pieces.
• Speed Could be adjusted by Inverter.

29. RIBBED CONVEYOR
