Best Practice Guide for Automatic Tofu Cutting Systems
Upgrade Your Production with the Automatic Tofu Cutting System
Tofu is one of the most widely consumed foods in Asia, with stable demand and frequent production. However, traditional manual cutting methods often lead to uneven sizes, high breakage rates, heavy labor dependence, and hygiene risks. As food processing becomes more automated, the Automatic Tofu Cutting System has emerged as a key solution to improve both quality and efficiency.
Automatic Tofu Cutting System
Professional Food Processing Solution
The automatic tofu cutting system is specially designed for high-moisture and delicate tofu. It features high-precision cutting, continuous operation, hygienic and easy-to-clean structure, and smart control system. It is widely used in tofu factories, central kitchens, and fresh food preparation areas in supermarkets.
System Advantages
- Improves cutting consistency and appearance
- Reduces labor cost and risk
- Shortens production time to meet high demand
- Complies with food safety regulations
Introduction to Water and Dry Cutting Systems
Automatic tofu cutting technology includes two main types: water cutting and dry cutting. Choosing the right system based on tofu type and production line needs is key to quality and efficiency.
💧 Water Cutting System (Underwater Cutting)
Uses water buoyancy and lubrication to reduce deformation and breakage. Ideal for soft or high-moisture tofu.
Recommended for:
- Premium tofu brands and export factories
- Central kitchens and supermarket backrooms
- Organic/handmade tofu producers
🔄 Workflow: Underwater Cutting → Strip Cutting (X) → Cube Cutting (Y) → Packing
🏭 Dry Cutting System
Cuts tofu in dry conditions. Suitable for medium-hard tofu. Easier to clean and maintain.
Recommended for:
- Block tofu and firm tofu production lines
- High-volume processing plants
- Small-scale automated workshops
🔄 Workflow: Auto Cutting → Strip Cutting (X) → Cube Cutting (Y) → Packing
Tofu Product Characteristics
Soft Tofu | Regular Tofu | Firm Tofu |
---|---|---|
Very soft and fragile. Requires low-pressure, vibration-free cutting. | Medium hardness. Standard blades can be used. Accuracy is key. | Firm and less fragile. Can be cut at higher pressure and speed. |
Blade Selection and Design
Most systems use sharp flat stainless steel blades, ideal for medium tofu. Balances efficiency and accuracy.
🔪 Blade Requirements: Food-grade stainless steel with anti-corrosion, easy-to-clean, and high hardness features. Blades should adjust based on tofu size.
Cutting Accuracy and Size Control
🎯 Precision Technologies:
- Digital measuring system for real-time size checks
- Auto-adjustment module for blade position
