Stem, calyx and top removal on irregular vegetables; mechanical slicing and dicing.



Leaf dosing and folding on DOKTEK's pilot line; cored-vegetable filling as an engineering project.

Camera-based inspection and robotic separation, engineered and validated per product.
Multi-stage process lines and special machines, engineered per project.
Packaging and end-of-line systems DOKTEK FoodTech supplies and configures to the product and pack format.
01 · DOKTEK CUT
Vision-guided stem cutting, topping and trimming, plus disc slicing and dicing, for vegetables that arrive in random size, shape and orientation.

Automated stem and calyx removal using machine vision and precision motion on a continuous conveyor.

A separate slicing and dicing line for eggplant, cucumber and comparable vegetables: disc slicing and grid dicing on a conveyor, with machine-vision inspection as an option on the line.

The eggplant machine's vision and motion platform, built and running on DOKTEK's pilot line adapted for okra stem cutting.
02 · DOKTEK ROLL · FILL
Stuffed-leaf rolling and dolma filling — the manual food operations that resist conventional machinery. Dosing and fold stations for stuffed leaves are built and running in DOKTEK's own pilot; cored-vegetable filling is a separate engineering project.

Built and running dosing and fold stations for stuffed-leaf rolling, under validation on real leaves; full rolling-to-discharge automation is still in development.
Controlled filling solutions for cored vegetables — peppers, zucchini, eggplant and similar stuffed foods.
03 · DOKTEK FRUIT · NUT
Vision inspection and sorting of apricots, dried figs and walnut kernels, plus walnut piercing and threading for churchkhela. Each application is engineered and validated on the customer's own product.

Machine-vision classification of fresh and dried apricots by colour, size, shape and surface condition, with robotic separation; classes and criteria are engineered for each plant.

Vision inspection of dried figs for colour, size, shape defects and foreign material, with UV fluorescence screening support — not a laboratory aflatoxin measurement.
Positioning, piercing and threading of walnut kernels onto string — the manual step in churchkhela and köme production.
Vision inspection and sorting of walnut kernels, halves and quarters grading, threading and packaging for churchkhela-type products; cracking and shelling are out of scope.
04 · DOKTEK VISION
Camera-based classification, defect detection and robotic or pneumatic separation, engineered around each product.

Camera-based classification and robotic separation, demonstrated on apricots and dried figs.
05 · DOKTEK GRAIN
Modular process engineering for compact bulgur and grain-processing applications, from cleaning to classification.
Modular concepts for compact bulgur and grain-processing applications, engineered per project.
06 · DOKTEK PACK
Vertical form fill seal and flow-pack packaging, premade pouches and doypacks, tray sealing, vacuum packaging, multihead weighing and robotic case packing and palletizing — configured to the product, the pack and the capacity.
Bags formed, filled and sealed from roll film — pillow, gusseted and block-bottom bags, with multihead, linear, volumetric or auger dosing selected for the product.
Horizontal flow wrapping of single products, groups and trays: film on top or film below, rotary or box-motion sealing, with modified-atmosphere options.
Automatic opening, filling and sealing of premade stand-up, zipper and flat pouches, with the filler matched to the product.
Lidding-film sealing of preformed trays, seal-only or with modified atmosphere, from semi-automatic tray sealers to inline automatic lines.
Chamber, belt-chamber and thermoforming vacuum packaging, vacuum skin packs and gas flushing for food products and bulk bags.
Combination weighing for irregular pieces, integrated with a vertical bagger, a pouch machine or a tray and container filling line.
Case erecting, robotic and vision-guided case packing, case sealing and labelling, and robotic palletizing at the end of the packaging line.
07 · DOKTEK ROBOTICS
Robotic handling inside DOKTEK machines — vision-guided cutting, pick-and-place and conveyor tracking — and robotic case packing and palletizing at the end of the line.
Case erecting, robotic and vision-guided case packing, case sealing and labelling, and robotic palletizing at the end of the packaging line.
