Developed and patented by Drysdales, the automated sprout peeler uses a two-dimensional vision system to detect the orientation of the sprout in order to give direction to the robotic arms. These then pick the sprouts up and pass them through a water jet which trims them accurately and hygenically. The robot can trim 360 sprouts a minute, this would take 6 peelers to do manually!
