ONION CUTTING BLADE

An onion blade is a specialized cutting tool used in food processing equipment for efficiently slicing, dicing, or chopping onions.

USES OF ONION BLADE

Slicing Onions:

• Produces uniform onion slices for salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.
• Ideal for commercial kitchens, food factories, or restaurants requiring high-volume onion preparation.

Dicing Onions:

• Some blades come with grid attachments to dice onions into cubes of various sizes.
• Used in pre-packaged food production (e.g., frozen diced onions).

hopping Onions:

• Achieves a rough chop for soups, stews, or caramelized onion recipes.

Specialized Cuts:

• Can be designed for ultra-thin slicing (for onion rings) or julienne cuts (for stir-fries).

High-Volume Processing:

• Reduces labour costs and time in industrial food preparation setups by automating onion cutting tasks.

SPECIFICATIONS

Material:

• Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant, durable, and suitable for food contact.
• Hardened Steel: Sometimes used for heavy-duty applications requiring precision.

Blade Design:

• Circular or Straight Blades: Depending on the machine, blades may be circular (rotary slicers) or straight (chopping mechanisms).
• Grid Attachments: Used for dicing; creates precise cubes by forcing onions through a cutting matrix.

Capacity:

• Designed for high-speed processing, capable of handling several pounds per minute, depending on the machine.

Maintenance:

• Easy to clean with food-grade detergents.
• Sharpening may be required periodically to maintain performance.
• Blades should be dried thoroughly to prevent oxidation.
